“Thank you all the @aklassagency choir today for blessing one of the songs for my new album today…was an honour sharing the studio!!”

“Thank you to you and your singers for the wonderful performance at our wedding. We have had so many compliments from our guests. Even Father Peter and also the music coordinator for the Abbey Cherry Pauls were impressed. For me, apart from marrying my husband, it was one of the highlights of the day and in fact when you started to sing ‘Joyful Joyful’ it brought tears to my eyes. Your singers were definitely worth every penny!”
Linda George (Bride – wedding May 2012)

“Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the choir, it sounds beautiful and has really enhanced the songs!! :)”

“Just a quick note to thank you and the choir for such a wonderful performance. Your presentation, professionalism and delivery was exemplary. Thank you so much for adding to the day, the vocals were great and the keyboard player also impressive. I had great feedback from the audience in the church. Martin and Victoria are truly grateful and whenever the opportunity arises we will definitely recommend you.”
Raymond (brother of the bride)

“When the band told me they wanted some gospel singers and a String Quartet for their live performance on Radio 1, I was a little nervous to say the least. Luckily I was put in touch with Patsy at AKlass who sorted everything… it sounded great!”
Jamie Oborne, Manager, One Night Only

“I wanted to thank you for the most wonderful guitarist-James who not only played beautifully, but was a really lovely guy, and provided a really relaxed atmosphere for the reception. You’ve been a star and a perfect mix of friendly and professional. I will definitely recommend your Agency to friends organising events.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Patsy. As stage manager for TRIBE07 she was incredibly professional, amiable and easy to work with. The end result was a fantastic show on all accounts and we’ve had really positive feedback from all parties involved about how much they enjoyed working with Patsy and what a smooth ride it was. I will without a doubt work with her again”

“Patsy did a fantastic job of talking to our Popular Music Studies Degree cohort. Her confident delivery captured the students attention brilliantly and her vast knowledge and considerable expertise was wrapped up neatly in a well structured presentation.”

“The different exercises Patsy prepared were excellent, and enabled every member of the group to thoroughly engage with real and relevant issues. Students have since commented that the session was ‘brilliant’, ‘insightful’, and ‘extremely informative’”

“Patsy from AKlass was recommended to us to find a Spanish female singer and musician for our new Spanish Happy Birthday jingle. We found them to be very professional, prompt in finding the singer and helpful. AKlass have come up with the sound we needed to be created”
Marie Farrell

“I needed to organise a backing singer and guitarist for one of our artists from Canada and I knew Patsy could come up with the goods within the short space of time we had to work with. Her and James (guitarist) even wrote new arrangements for a couple of the songs and performed them perfectly on several live radio shows despite the limited rehearsal time.”

“That’s the great thing when working with AKlass, you can leave it all in their very capable hands & they always do a fantastic job. Our team was highly impressed & we will be sure to use them again”

The Halifax event went off without a hitch and the Afro Cats were amazing, they looked fabulous and the crowd loved the Motown set.
