Fantastic feedback for Riot…

Friday, February 11th, 2011

21st Century Riot got some fantastic feedback this week, from a wedding they played at the end of January. I especially wanted to feature this on the blog, because Sophy (the lovely bride) almost didn’t book the band, or any band at all. The reason was, it was a small wedding (the reception was being held in a pub), and she was unsure whether it would be appropriate to book a band. When she mentioned her worries to us, we explained that all of our bands have played to all sorts of audiences – we had our 9 piece MIB band playing to an audience of 25 before, and a 3 piece Funkadelics performing to 10,000 – so there really are no ‘rules’. Just because a Wedding is being held in a pub, doesn’t mean a band won’t  be suitable. In fact, a sneaky secret fact I’ll share with you, is that we all secretly love playing in pubs! The atmosphere is always fantastic – so much more personal than a bigger venue!

So, Sophy booked, and we were really pleased to get such fantastic feedback from her….

Sorry it’s taken a while to send this, but…

 I just wanted to say thanks so much, firstly to you for persuading me to go with it, and of course to the guys for a truly amazing performance.  They really were absolutely superb, fantastic performance but also so very professional and got it just right, you could see the sound, lights, mood and everything was being tweaked all the time.  I was so worried we’d gone a bit long for such a small do, but they were totally relaxed and played brilliantly, they were perfect for us, they even looked like they were enjoying themselves :-)

 At one point I looked up to see the whole place literally jumping up and down.  It was certainly a rocking night and one to remember. 

 So, a heartfelt thank you, and if you’re planning any public gigs please do let me know as we’d love to see them again.

Thanks for the lovely comments Sophy, and we hope to see you at our public gig on 22nd Feb!

Check out this rather lovely piece of video feedback we got from our agent, Alex, in Russia, who booked 21st Century Riot to play for Jamesons Whisky in December…

Awwwh, thanks Alex! We can’t wait to work with you again! :)

Some lovely feedback for MIB

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

We got some lovely feedback today, so thought I’d share it with you all…Congratualtions to Rebecca & Chris! :)

 

Dear MIB

 

I’m writing rather belatedly to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding on Saturday 3rd July at Burcombe manor near Salisbury. The band were totally fantastic! Please thank Matt in particular for dealing with one of our particularly enthusiastic guests who demanded the microphone for a couple of songs, thank you for obliging. Everybody said how great the band were, and the evening just flew by. The lead singer (sorry I can’t remember her name) was amazing!

 

It was also great to deal with a company in the wedding industry who was not only very professional, but still made me feel like my day was going to be special. Even though I dealt with several people at MIB the way you have set yourselves up, and manage your bookings I felt so comfortable that everything was in hand. I also thought the way you were able to put my IPod playlist together, and that all worked on the night was perfectly.

 

Thank you all so much for ending our day as brilliantly as you did!

 

Rebecca & Chris

Lovely feedback from the weekend

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

We’ve just had such lovely feedback from one of our bookings last weekend….Congratulations and thank you Louise & Jarod! I’ve asked them for some pics so we can do a write-up soon – it was such a gorgeous wedding! Watch this space!

 

To all members of MIB Band that played at our Wedding Party!

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you all for helping to make our evening so amazing. You sounded absolutely fantastic and really got the party going. Thank you also for being so flexible with the timings which meant you only had a very short break in between the two sets. You worked extremely hard but we hope you enjoyed the evening too.

We will certainly highly recommend you to anyone looking for a band. We have had so many positive comments about the music and the atmosphere that night.

Thanks again and we hope our paths will cross again in the future :)

Best wishes,
Louise & Jarrod x

What the people say…

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Check out this HUGE thank you card we got from Lisa & Lee (from last post)! I have to say this brought a big smile to our faces when this turned up in the office :) Thanks Guys xxx

And here’s just a little snippet of some customer feedback from the past few weeks…

Undercover Superstars

‘I loved the concept of the Undercover Superstars so when it came to booking an act for the launch party of my Design and Marketing agency deciding who to work with was a no brainer. I have to say, Sera and her team exceeded my expectations in every respect. She came up with a fantastic concept and story behind each “superstar”, briefed them perfectly and even kept the idea a secret from my team!

On the night each and every superstar lived up to their name. they were fantastic actors and their voices gave us all goosebumps. They had even the stiffest of guests moving by the last song and made the night! Anyone that had come under the mistaken impression that this was a networking event soon realised they’d come to a party once the Undercover Superstars got up and sang.

The company was professional throughout all our dealings with them and I would have no hestitation in recommending MIB Music or the Undercover Superstars. They were fantastic.’

‘It all went really well on Saturday, the guest was the best bit!  The friend who was with Rachael (‘the guest’), Graham is good friends with my husband and the look on my husbands face when Rachael stood up to sing was brilliant.

Everyone joined in, though a little shell shocked!  Rebecca loved it and the choice of songs were great.  The hotel were delighted too as it was the first time that they had ever had undercover waiters and I believe they were helpful and accommodating to your ‘stars’.

I will be passing your details to a friend who was there, who’s daughter will be doing her bat mitzvah in a year or two and you may well get another booking.

Thank you so much it was really memorable and worked really well.’

MIB

‘The band were ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! They could not have been any better, they were very accommodating with the CDs before and between their sets, and had obviously taken on the note about sticking more to 60s than 70s.  Everyone was completely amazed by them, they really couldn’t have been better. The party overall was a fantastic success and throroughly enjoyed by all… thanks so much for your help.’

‘What a party! The band were outstanding…I can’t imagine a band that could be easier to deal with…and such a great performance. My boss was super duper pleased with me for finding such a great entertainment act…so I’ll be using you time and time again.’

SuperTrouper Abba

‘Can you please pass on a huge thanks to all involved on Saturday night. It was my wife’s 40th birthday, it was a great success, which was all down to your girls and Dan’s professional and very helpful approach to the night. Everything went to plan and your staff were absolutely fabulous, all our neighbours haven’t stopped talking about the party.’

Funkadelics

‘We just wanted to send a note of thanks for the excellent Funkadelics on the 1st April at our wedding. We thought the band were excellent and played a perfect mix of songs to compliment the day’s celebrations.Thanks again and we will definitely recommend the band to friends and family.’

‘We had a great time on Thursday night and the Funkadelics were brilliant! We managed to get everyone onto the dance floor for the final set. Please pass on our thanks.’

21st Century Riot

‘What can I say, apart from I LOVED IT! And most importantly, my hubby did too, which was the plan! You guys are fantastic – great selection of tunes, fantastic chemistry on stage, and got the crowd going more than I could even have imagined….thank you so much!’
