The music variety was perfect and there was something for everyone. The band were friendly and their performance was fantastic!! Now we are looking for an excuse to have another party, so we can hire then again!! Thank you!"

"The band were absolutely fantastic. All the sound checks and set up were completed seamlessly and the sound and performance of the whole 8 piece band was exceptional. There’s a great repertoire to choose from with a great mix of modern hits, classics and floor fillers and the set list they helped make for us was great for all guests. The band went to the effort to learn a bespoke song for our first dance which they absolutely nailed. All the band members were also very kind and warm, would highly recommend."
