TESTIMONIALS

Hannah Drake, Area Events Manager - Shine Walk, South West & Wales Cancer Research UK

"I just wanted to say how FABULOUS it was having Batala with us at Bristol Shine! We've had such brilliant comments from volunteers, staff and participants alike about the energy and motivation having your band there brought, and it even meant members of the public stuck around to enjoy. In the end the event welcomed an amazing 1,400 people, who have now raised over £180,000 towards our life saving research - a truly extraordinary amount surpassing all our targets. Thank you for making it such a special and successful event"

Caroline Lewis, Internal Comms Manager - Vertical Aerospace (July 2025)

"Just a quick note to say thank you to you and the rest of the team for adding an incredible feature to our event. I’ve heard only positive feedback, and all of the parents really appreciated the time you all took to interact with the children. Personally, I loved it and can’t wait to see you all performing again somewhere. It was brilliant! And you’re firmly in my little black book of acts I’d like to repeat for future events, as appropriate."

Sian Ellis-Thomas, Chair of FORP - Redcatch Park Big Picnic (June 2025)

"What a performance! Well two actually. You absolutely smashed it and made our event so very extra special. We cannot thank you enough for bringing the exact amount of fun, sunshine and inimitable Batala vibes to The Big Picnic - we had so much brilliant feedback about you guys. Everyone (including me) were carried away by the brilliant rhythm and energy that you bring. I saw two to ninety two year olds boogie-ing along. You are just magnificent. Please extend our thanks to the entire crew. Their extra attention to all the interested children and adults that lined up to talk to the players afterwards did not go unnoticed. Thanks for spending the extra time making them feel special. Big love and thanks from Friends of Redcatch Park. We love Batala!"

Liz Hewitt, St Mary Redcliffe Church - Treefest (Dec 2023)

"This Treefest Batala Bristol brought more than just Christmas Cheer! They delighted crowds with their superb energy,  rhythm and dance against the stunning gothic backdrop of St Mary Redcliffe, pulling in passers by who were drawn in by the power of the music. A fabulous way to end our annual Treefest celebration and get everyone in the festive spirit!”

Hollie Thorogood, Children's Hospice South West - Santas On The Run Event (Dec 2023)

"This is a huge thank you to you all for playing at Santas – you were amazing! You brought the atmosphere in to the event village, and got everyone ready for the run. The feedback we’ve had from people with you playing on the route has been fantastic, and I’m so grateful to you all for coming down and being a part of our event. We really appreciate it "

Meg Pope, Duchess Media - Wapping Wharf/Gaol Ferry Bridge Re-opening Party (Sept 2023)

"We booked Batala Bristol to open the celebrations at Wapping Wharf to mark the reopening of the Gaol Ferry bridge, which was a huge occasion for the people of Bristol, and they couldn't have kicked off the party with a better start! From the original enquiry right through to the night itself, the communication from the team at Batala was exceptional, and they were a pleasure to work with. On the night they were extremely professional and timely, arriving well in advance and discussing all of our requirements in detail, and they put on an incredible show. The feedback from the public and retailers has been outstanding, and we'll 100% be booking them again"

Dan - Kenysham Music Festival (July 2023)

"Watched you guys at Kenysham today and thought you were all bloody brilliant!! As a drummer who doesn't really play anywhere near as much as I used to, you thoroughly inspired me. Really enjoyed your performance, had the biggest smile and goosebumps."

Louise Cook - One25 Charity Firewalk (February 2023)

“Thank you so much to you and your wonderful band. I heard so many people in the crowd commenting on how awesome you all were, and I know the Firewalkers themselves were much boosted by your soundtrack to their challenge!”
