TESTIMONIALS

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 Batalal!"

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"

Ostrich Inn - Bristol Harbour Festival (July 2023)

"Another highlight of our Harbour Festival weekend was definitely the incredible Batala Bristol who put on a show-stopping performance on Sunday afternoon! Their performance certainly put a smile on our faces & it was great to see so many of you dancing away too. We hope to have Batala Bristol back here soon! ” 

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."

Tony W -  Bristol Half Marathon (May 2023)

“I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your drumming at the Bristol Half Marathon today. So energetic and fun, and I was astounded by the stamina and energy you all had.” 

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!” 

Bridgwater Carnival Organiser (November 2017)

"I was very impressed with your performances both during the day and in the evening parade – your magnificent drumming set the right tone and atmosphere for our event and really set the crowd in the right carnival mood.

I would love to have you back again next year... Thank you once again for helping to make Bridgwater Carnival such a tremendous success."
