» Testimonials

"The Anna Reay band played at our wedding reception on the 9th of July 2006 at The Staincliffe Hotel in Hartlepool. The music was great, something for everyone and there was a real party atmosphere. Every one was on the dance floor and everyone commented on how good Anna's voice was and how they were enjoying the band. A fantastic end to a beautiful day. Thank you."
- Phil and Victoria Clarke, The Staincliffe Hotel, Hartlepool

"Anna Jean Reay is a simply outstanding talent, she feels the music and adapts her vocal talents to suit completely disparate styles of music. For example, I do not think I have seen too many artistes switch so effortlessly from the Ella Fitzgerald arrangement of Cheek To Cheek to a rendition of O Mio Babbino Caro by Puccini. In short Reay is a performer to get truly excited about."
- Mark Ritchie, The Stage

"We wanted to send you a personal message in recognition for all your expertise, advice and efforts whilst helping us prepare for our Wedding day (20th Sept 2008). The music was perfect, so many comments on how fantastic it was and it fitted our theme with such seamless effort. We had a wonderful wedding day, so many memories to cherish. You helped us to create this amazing experience. Whilst on honeymoon in Slovenia, we wanted to take a moment to send you a warm and heartfelt thank you(Hvala Lepa in Slovene)." With Kindest Regards
- Claire & Frederick Milton
