Hi Matthew,
Thank you we did have an amazing day! Both bands (Bare Groove & Croon Tunes) were just fantastic and everybody said how good you were! The music you provided exceeded our expectations - we're only sorry we didn't get to dance more ourselves! Thanks once again!!
Ben & Huyen – Wedding – Dulwich Picture Gallery, London - September 2011
Hi Matt,
Thanks so much! We all really enjoyed it - the band was great.... In both playing and singing and also in engaging everyone and being really fun, nice and personable too. They really read the mood of our group and played just the right songs. You'll have heard that no-one wanted them to stop...! Of course we'll be recommending you!!
John & Catherine – Wedding – Royal Geographical Society, London - September 2011
Dear Bare Groove,
Thank you so much for playing at our do last night. The band was amazing and so many of our guests have remarked on how good you were already. Someone even said they have never seen so many people up and dancing at once at a wedding!
The evening really wouldn't have been the same without you guys and we will have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else we know who needs a band. YOU WERE ALL BRILLIANT AND WE LOVED IT!
p.s. please let me know if there is any website or similar where I could post a review or if you would like any other better feedback for a website - we would fall over ourselves to recommend you!

"Thank you for a really fantastic night on Saturday. People have not stopped talking about you and asking me where I found out about you. You really made it a night to remember. We will definitely be looking out for future gigs and getting a crowd along to see you. It made it feel fabulous to be 40!"

Arrow Therapeutics Corporate Function - Armoury House, London - February 2009
"Bare Groove are amazing - they played at our wedding and I can wholeheartedly recommend them...they generated a great atmosphere and got everyone up dancing. They topped off the perfect day"
Steve and Jo Taylor - Wedding - High Holborn, London. - November 2008
"The day was just perfect and followed by an evening of just utterly brilliant music provided by the one and only Bare Groove. Not your typical band by a long shot, they are professional musicians with a brass touch! From the first email to post wedding chat, these guys have been professional, highly accommodating and fantastic. Their repertoire is extensive although they were more than happy to learn a couple of new songs just for us. I only wish we had more celebrations lined up cos I wouldn't hesitate in using them again. Should you need a band, whether it's for a wedding birthday or party, these guys are guaranteed to raise the roof!"
Paul and Ellie Wahba – Wedding - Hornimans Museum, London. - September 2008
These guys are awesome, I've heard them live twice now and they never fail to get people up and dancing and clearly love the music. You think this is good, you should hear their cover of paint it black!!
Anon (jumpinjackflash1968.blogspot.com) - Public Gig, Dulwich. - August 2008
"We had an amazing time thanks to you guys for providing Class A entertainment. Everyone has said how great you were. You did us proud!! Thanks so much for making our day truly special."
Imelda Creaser - Wedding at Woldingham School, Surrey. - July 2008
"I randomly ended up in the Plough last night (Sat) and saw Keef's band Bare Groove...they totally....rocked....Man. I haven't ever seen people jumping up and down /dancing/ going crazy in an East Dulwich pub for...well ever. Splendid stuff, tight,lots of fit women dancing a real Les Paul, and a brass section too. I well and truly tip my hat to you sir."
Wimpole, East Dulwich Forum - The Plough, East Dulwich SE22. - Public gig - May 2008
"Bare Groove played for a fundraising event we organised, playing to an audience of about 150 people. They were incredibly open to suggestions, allowed us to attend rehearsals, and kept us very involved so that they provided for us exactly the kind of set we wanted. Their performance was five star and Louise's voice is so versatile, as is Matt's. The brass section is fantastic! As a band they just mesh so well together, and make songs their own seemingly effortlessly. They are without a doubt the best live covers band I have come across, as well as being generally lovely people who will care about making your event a success. I would recommend them to anyone"
Christina Hough, Wanderlust @ Firefly. Charity event for Macmillan Nurses May 2008
" Fantastic night. The band were brilliant and worth every penny!"
