5 stars
The band was great. They were prompt, professional, nice, funny etc. They were just what the party needed, playing great sets to enjoy at dinner and to get the party jumping. I heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests.

Awesome Performers, Great Show!
The Blue Links were a great band. We had them for a birthday party and they got everyone up dancing. You can't go wrong with Motown! Very easy to work with, arrived early to set up, no issues at all. They sounded great and would definitely have them back.

Excellent Soul/Motown Band
My wife and I threw a party for our friends & family since we had eloped and skipped the formal wedding deal. We found a great low-key place to have the event and wanted to find the right band that could be both non-obtrusive and also kick it up to get people dancing and having fun. We scored big time by finding The Blue Links at a local bar by our place in Venice. LaQuita's vocals are incredible and the band really nails and does justice to the many soul & Motown classics in their repertoire. Oz and the band were very accommodating and helpful in setting the tone and flow of the set to match the activity we had going on during the event. LaQuita even took some time to sing some children songs to the little ones we had in attendance. They loved it. I couldn't recommend The Blue Links more. If you're looking for a fun, soulful, professional band with a great sound, this is them.
