"When booking a band for a big event, such as a wedding, there is always an element of doubt as to whether the band will meet your expectations and provide the entertainment which you envisage. Without any question of doubt you guys were bloody brilliant, and created an unbeatable party atmosphere. The vocals were exceptionally good and complemented the brilliant musicians within the band. Katie and I were so pleased with the professionalism of the band and the quality of the music, and felt that this was one of the highlights of the day. Everyone who attended the wedding has commented on how fabulous you guys were – you even managed to get some people up dancing who haven’t danced in years"

"Well no surprises but we couldn't have hoped for a better evening for our wedding. Debbie and myself thought you were first class when we saw you at Selsey. Everybody that we have spoken to since our wedding have said what a great night and a great band you were. We can only agree with them. Thank you so much for making it so special".

"Grand Avenue provided the hospital with a superb start to their Summer Ball. They sang a great variety of tunes and got the crowd dancing right from the off. Individually, the guys were clearly very talented in their own right, but together they created a very tight sound that filled the Great Hall. And on top of that they were really nice people to deal with. We'd definitely hire them again."

"As soon as the lead singer Katarina began to sing I knew I was going to enjoy this band. Her lovely, soul voice suited the excellent songs and she sang and charmed us all while accompanied by her talented musicians. The atmosphere was electric, we couldn't hear enough of them. This is one band you must not miss."

"Grand Avenue Music were sensational at our recent 70s night event! They not only demonstrated outstanding musicianship in the two weighty sets they played, but were superb at drawing in the crowd with the two lead vocalists really engaging everyone through their stage presence and natural banter in between songs. The back line were very tight and time after time created the perfect ‘sound’ within the song they were covering. The clearest demonstration of the band’s superb evening came half-way through their first set, when I looked out across the 300+ crowd and saw that every single person was up and dancing their socks off! Thank you so much guys for making our 70s Night such a memorable evening – you rock!"
King Hastings Church, June 2008
"Grand Avenue Music were amazing when they performed in July 08, and we're looking forward to them returning this November. They were professional, prepared and went down a storm with our audience. Their versitility as an act is also very encouraging and would recommend them for any event."

"Katarina has a wonderful voice… you can hear there’s so much talent within that band… "
