Testimonials
For my husbands 40th birthday party we had Philosophy come all the way to Milan to be the cherry on top of what turned out to be the best night! They really got the party started and within minutes the dance floor was full and didn't stop pumping until the small hours. Every one of my guests complimented the quality of the band and its singers, and said they had a wonderful time dancing and singing along to their favourite hits. Thank you Philosophy!
- Anna Buckley- Proli, 40th Birthday, Milan
What can I say...probably the tightest band Ive heard for a while what a sound!
- Simon Mansfield, Vern Allen
I booked Melanie and her band Philosophy for a 60th birthday celebration for my wife. Melanie was a huge hit with everyone, she sang pitch perfect from start to finish with a choice of songs that had everyone dancing throughout the night. Philosophy are true professionals and I cannot recommend them enough.
- Stephen Simpson , 60th Birthday, Marlborough
I had no hesitation in choosing Philosophy to perform at my wedding, having seen Melanie perform numerous times before, even better with her band! They were amazing and our first dance song was sensational, I was really touched they learnt it for me, without need for words . I couldn't recommend Philosophy more.
