» Testimonials

"Both myself and Liz just wanted to send you a quick email before we jet off on our honeymoon. I have to say I cant stress how brilliant the guys were at our wedding at the Pines Hotel, Chorley. The dance floor was busy all night, and everyone who attended the wedding was very complimentary in fact at the end of the night there was a queue for business cards by our guests. They made it very personal and very special and they were a perfect part of a day we will never forget. The acoustics and vocals during the actual ceremony and the wedding breakfast was second to none, everything they did was exactly how we imagined, the hotel duty manager was also impressed and said they were a fabulous band. So let me thank you once again for your absolute professionalism and a very accomplished band. And I will certainly be recommending you in the future."
- Greg and Liz Cronshaw
