» Testimonials
"The band was great! The broad range of music you played was exactly what we wanted for our event, and certainly got the audience on the dancefloor. Thanks ever so much for your support! "- Sarah McDougall, Microsoft
"THANKYOU SO MUCH for a really fantastic night! Everyone was so impressed by the sound you made and the wide variety of music you played. I think you have a few new fans! You even got my Grandma up on the dance floor so you're obviously doing it right! You guys are just the best! ... PS. Have put a bit extra on your cheque for a few beers - you deserve it!"
- Claire & David, Bride & Groom
"A huge thank you for playing at our wedding. We and everyone else we have spoken to thought you were brilliant. I hope you all enjoyed yourself as much as possible and our best wishes to the future success of the band."
- Cecilia & Ed, Bride & Groom
"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the fantastic show you all put on for us. It topped off a perfect day! We'd been really impressed by the band at the other weddings we'd heard you at and I'm glad to say ours was no exception!"
- Katie & Matthew, Bride & Groom
"Thank you once again for your excellent performance at our wedding! You guys were brilliant and not only did Marc and I love every minute of your performance but many of our guests also commented on how excellent you were!"
- Svenja & Marc, Bride & Groom
"Thanks for being patient and working with us on the timings for the evening. The band was amazing and everyone had a great time. We needed a bigger dance floor! it's a shame that the hotel had to close!"
- G. Lloyd, Halifax Plc
"We just wanted to say how delighted we were with the band at Sarah's party. The music was great - just what we had hoped for - and they created exactly the right kind of atmosphere which got everybody dancing - no mean feat as the age range of the guests went from 8 to 80 plus! In addition we were impressed with the organisation of the band members and their professional approach to the whole event. They came when they said they would, they set up efficiently and unobtrusively, and they adapted magnificently to our everchanging requests and time alterations! Particular thanks must go to the singer who knew exactly how to get the party swinging so that everyone was able to enjoy the evening. Sarah sang and danced her heart out. Thank you so much."
- Naomi, Sarah's mum (Bat Mitzvah)
