Sylvia Rothschild (Bar Mitzvah, July 2017, Orpington) –
I just wanted, rather belatedly, to say thankyou – the band were wonderful and played exactly the music and the style that we wanted. Lots of people told me how wonderful they thought you were and I whole heartedly agree
with best wishes
Aila Vierimaa (party, November 2017, Muswell Hill) –
We booked Oysland for my 60th birthday and we were blown away! They play with great exuberance and vitality, guaranteed to get any party started. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to liven up their event. Thanks for playing.
Sarah Montague (wedding, May 2017, Clapton) –
The beautiful music from Oysland created a palpable sense of excitement and joy among the guests that set the tone for the entire day. It was amazing walking down the aisle to Lori’s lovely voice, and we could tell that all of the band had put so much effort into making sure everything was perfect. Everyone said that the music was on a different level, even the registrar, who must have heard a lot of wedding music. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts – and we will recommend you to anyone who is having a simcha!
