Testimonials

We think our events are totally fresh, funky & sensibly sustainable but don’t take our word for it…

Amazing afternoon’s ecotainment…. thanks for supplying some top tunes

Non-stop Disco Action in the middle of any given field at any given time! You might be thinking…that would take one long extension cord, or a massive generator to power the night. Nope…you’d be just as wrong as kissing your first cousin getlofi.com

@joimson YOU MADE OUR PARTY. Everyone loved you & your tunes. THANK YOU.

We enjoyed it and found it was an alternative way of presenting some very important and powerful messages (Food-waste Workshop) St Catherines primary school

“The novelty value of the solar powered wheelbarrow disco is a real crowd puller and pleaser and the music is not bad either! Lots of golden oldies – he even does requests. The solar powered oven has to be seen to be believed and the craft activities keep everyone happy for ages” Community Conservation Officer

“I would definitely recommend Ecotainment for any eco-themed event. We invited him to play at our Environment Launch Parties and he was very well received by the students. His wheelbarrow disco coaxed a crowd out from their accommodation and worked as an effective social lubricant, while agreeing with the core green message of the events” Environment Support Officer

 Thank you so, so much for all your efforts on Saturday night! You were “hot stuff” and everyone LOVED it! (August 2009)

A disco with no carbon footprint, generated by solar pannels and transported by a wheel barrow. Definitely a site to see, an inspiration to all JuliesBicycle.com (September 2008)

Thanks for bringing the sunshine and a smile with you!! Great music and wheelbarrow!! Purbeck Environmental Action Team (September 2008)
