Every time the guys set up their array of instruments we knew it was going to be an energetic performance. These guys put on a solid show every time they performed, mixing DJs alongside a female vocalist, congas and a sax. Our crowd were definitely entertained by this stylish group.

It's always a pleasure working with The Groove Academy. Scott's professional and adaptable attitude and attention to detail makes my job at PricewaterhouseCoopers so much easier. I know I can speak with Scott once and he then will turn up with everything planned without having to cross check requirements. The Groove Academy's music has been perfect for all of our events & this is why we continue to work them as we have over the last 3 years. We look forward to working with them more and more over the coming years.

Thank you and the band for a superb show on Thursday night at the Star. Our annual awards event attracts 700 guests and is a focal point for the marketing and advertising industry. They love to have fun but they are an exacting crowd: the show had to run smoothly and deliver to their high expectations. Your magnificent 8 piece band was the perfect entertainment. I really appreciated your flexibility and adaptability on the night -first we were running behind and then we were granted an extension by the venue, but your team stepped up, performed with élan and gave us a night to remember. I do not hesitate to recommend The Groove Academy for large-scale corporate events.

WOW!! You guys SMASHED IT … everyone was on the dance floor from the first song. Scott, you were unreal to deal with, so flexible and professional nothing was too hard. Shout out to Muma Megs and Amy for embracing our Studio 54 Disco theme and The Groove Academy for making our event such an epic success.
