Corporate Events Radisson SAS Hotel, Stansted Airport "We have used Sahara for our Christmas party nights and our New Years Eve event for the last three years and they know how to get a party started!! Sahara is a fabulously entertaining band, versatile in the variety of songs they sing, catering for all tastes of the audience. Debbie’s energy and enthusiasm ensures that everyone enjoys their evening and they truly are a pleasure to listen to. We recommend Sahara if any of our clients are looking for a band as we know no-one will be disappointed with their performance." Ferrari Owners Club "Just a note to say how much we enjoyed the music of SAHARA who played at our Spring Ball at Whittlebury Hall last weekend.  Their whole approach to the event was very professional and relaxed from setting up to taking down and they were a pleasure to work with.  Their choice of music fitted the event very well and they certainly got everyone to their feet and on the dance floor.  Debbie was terrific and was adept at including people in with her mobility with the radio mic around the Ballroom.  The band also managed to accommodate 3 of our members who decided they should have a 'spot' despite the fact they were not very good at all, very flexible!  All in all they were a great success and a delight to work with."    click to enlarge   click to enlarge London Borough Of Havering "To Sahara, we would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for all your efforts in helping to make the event celebrating the 40th anniversary of the foundation of the London Borough of Havering such a success.  We feel that your contribution to the evening was invaluable and these sentiments were echoed by the Chief Executive of the Council in a letter to us, which we received towards the end of last week."

"Sahara were stunning – the music was great and Debbie was quite the best vocalist I’ve heard live for some time, (as well as being a real ‘live wire’ in her interaction with the guests …. and quite the prettiest girl at the party!). Staff at Hintlesham reckoned Sahara were the best live band they’ve ever had at the venue!!" [joint 21st, 50th & 80th birthday party] “To Sahara, TOP NIGHT! Thanks very much. All the best, Neil and Bridget” [Bride & Groom] "I would like to thank Sahara for a fantastic performance at our wedding. The music was excellent and the performance outstanding. Debbie really interacted with the crowd and created a true party atmosphere. We have had lots of very positive comments from our guests and several people said they hadn't seen 'so and so' dance for years. In fact you could hardly move on the dance floor all night - it was so packed. Many thanks to Debbie, Nigel and the whole band for making our evening extra special." [Bride & Groom]

[Letter to agent from Father of the Bride - Scottish ceilidh theme wedding] “Just a quick note to say thanks loads for doing the music for my wedding a few weekends ago.

Your choice of music was excellent (both for the band and the disco afterwards) and kept the dance floor full all night. We've received load of comments on how great you were, especially about you going into the audience and getting them to sing along with you. In fact, our Irish guests (and a few others) were still singing away at 3 o'clock in the morning! Thanks again for a perfect end to what was a wonderful day. With love from. Dawn & Matt Gough" [Bride & Groom] "Hi Jenny, Just a note to say a big Thank You to you and all the guys at Sahara esp Debbie.
