CJ performed solo at the Epilepsy Society's St Georges day event and what a show he put on! From start to finish CJ was friendly, confident and a proper entertainer. He engaged with the audience and tailored his performance to the needs of our residents. He bought all his own equipment and wasn't phased by the size of the crowd. CJ was really down to earth and approachable for communications. Thank you from the Epilepsy Society Activity Team and our residents for a proper knees up!

Booked for our wedding reception - C J was the perfect charismatic front man and with the band it created the ideal atmosphere for our intergenerational party. Young and Old had a good time singing along and the party tunes got everyone hyped for the disco. Would highly recommend - very professional, on time, excellent communication and a 10/10 ! Guests also commented on their musical abilities too saying what good musicians they were!

Wow, these guys are amazing. Booked them for a private house party and they were brilliant. Kept everyone thoroughly entertained all night, they were also genuinely lovely guys and stayed for a bit after they were done chatting to the guests. An absolute pleasure to have in the house and I've been inundated with messages from the party guests saying what a great time they had. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Cockney Sparrows were an absolute delight, they performed amazingly at a community event we organised in Basildon to celebrate the towns 70th anniversary. They held a great atmosphere through-out their performance, while getting the crowd involved with some classic East-End sing alongs. Would definitely recommend these guys for any future bookings!

Birthday Party

An outstanding experience which entertained and got everyone dancing - young and old. For us Brits it was great to be reminded of all these great songs and for guests from elsewhere it was an eye opener onto part of our culture that is such good fun. Everyone joined in, especially when the song sheets came out and the Conga got going. The Hokey Cokey towards the end was inspired. All my guests were blown away and so many told me how much they enjoyed this and how unexpected and original it was but so easy to enjoy and participate.
