"Pluck appeared for approx 25 minutes  at the gala dinner and their presence had not been advertised in advance to guests. Their act was first class and attracted tremendous feedback from guests who gave them a standing ovation. When I first heard of the group as a classical act I had reservations as to how they would be received by our members but by the time I witnessed them playing  Hendrix on violins as part of the act I knew id made a good call in booking this most talented threesome.”

Graham Cassidy, Chief Superintendent and National Deputy Secretary, Police Superindentents’ Association (2008)
 

"A most entertaining and amusing after-dinner performance... Our triangle-playing staff member will never quite recover from the experience!”

Keith Beniston, Chief Examiner, Trinity Guildhall (2009)
 

"Pluck are quite unique. We rebooked them on the strength of their first performance for us at which they interpreted the very particular needs of the King’s Fund with great ability, producing a skilled, innovative and fun performance. When there was a fire alarm that required the entire building to be evacuated, Pluck even moved outside and entertained the guests in Cavendish Square! At St James’s Palace their ‘intervention’ was expertly judged, and provided the balance to create a perfect arc to the event. There is no doubt that both events would not have been so successful without Pluck’s contribution, and I hope that we will have the chance to work together again in the future."

Sarah Waller, Programme Director, Kings’ Fund (2006)
 

"I just had to thank you for suggesting PLUCK as a wow factor for the VIP reception we organised for the launch of the new company marketing Gloucester.

“They were awesome… Our guests starting off thinking that they were just watching a (very good) string concert….  By the end of the performance they had the editor of the local paper and the mayor both up dancing with silly hats on!! How many classical performances get THAT response?!!

Mhairi Smith, Events officer, Gloucestershire County Council (2008)
 

“Pluck engaged actively and enthusiastically with a challenging audience, who quickly warmed to the sparkling performance. The group combined playing their instruments skilfully and tunefully, with imaginative acting and use of body language. The effect was delightful and provided a singularly memorable finale to a traditional dinner. I commend such a novel use of musical and acting talent.”

Robin Field-Smith MBE, HM Inspector of Constabulary (2008)
 

“I thoroughly enjoyed their exceptional performance.”

Ian Fraser, General Manager, Conferences and Events, Natural History Museum, London (2005)
 

“This week’s performance from quirky strings outfit Pluck [at the Sensatori resort, Crete] was breathtakingly brilliant, the individuality and quality of the show was its strength, leaving a diverse audience gasping for more.

The act has quality musicianship mixed with acting skill and a real tongue in cheek sense of humour... there really is nothing else this good on the market..10/10”

Steve Leatham, Senior Agent, TEDUK (2009)
 

“Pluck were absolutely fantastic! Lots of people came up to me to tell me how wonderful they thought the act was, and I know that my Vice Chair wants to book them for a future event. Having seen them before I know they would be well received, but I am not sure I realised how well!”

Lucy Burns, Events Manager, Business Continuity Institute (2009)
