» Testimonials

"I wanted to write and thank you for making my President's Night very special. Everyone had a great time and I have lost count of the number of people that told me how much they enjoyed the music and dancing. Without doubt you managed to fit the repertoire to the audience as was evidenced by the fact that the dance floor was full for most of the evening. Congratulations, well done and thank you.
P.S. I have already been asked for your details by two of the guests that are putting on functions of their own in the next year!"
- Channels Golf Club, Essex

"Thank you for your contribution to a very successful 65th birthday party. As you would expect all the comments on your performances were very complimentary so maybe this will lead to another engagement at WTGC. If so I hope the organiser invites me! Hope to see you at our captains Last Fling at the Spread Eagle (or wherever) next February. Julie, don't forget to include a Dusty number for me please."
- Weston Turville Golf Club, Bucks

"Both Tracey and I would like to pass on a very special thank you to you both for making our wedding function a most enjoyable evening. Julie you have a fantastic voice and Scott you have great keyboard talents, which together make a very professional duo! You performed exceptionally well and made our first dance very memorable. Many of our guests have mentioned you and said how they also enjoyed the variety of music. We would love you to perform for us again sometime in the future and we would not hesitate to recommend you. Thank you very much."
- Geoff and Tracey Read

"Thank you Scott and Julie for making our wedding party such a memorable occasion. All our friends, without exception, have complemented us on giving them such a great night. Without you this would not have been possible. It has taken us a couple of weeks to get our feet back on the ground. We can't stop talking about that night and it will be an everlasting memory for us. We will look forward to seeing you both perform again sometime. Thanks again you are two great entertainers but more importantly you are two really nice people."
- Richard and Veronica Williams

"A belated THANK YOU for providing such fantastic entertainment! I can't believe that you managed to get everyone dancing for the whole night ... both young and old ! Even my dad was on the dance floor for most of the night!

Julie... you have an amazing voice, you sing with such emotion, our first dance will always be memorable.

We could not have asked any more of you. Your live singing and playing was first class. The music you chose during your rest breaks was most appropriate.

We have been asked for your details from two of our guests. I shall certainly be back to book you when I start to organise my 40th !!!!!!!! Thank you once again for giving 110%"
- Mr & Mrs Jones

"Fantastic! You really are the best act we've ever had here. The dance floor was busy all night and we loved your music choices, especially the Beatles Medley as the songs were not all the usual obvious ones. Thank you both for a lovely evening. Hope to see you back here again soon."
- Christmas Party, Beaudesert Golf Club, Staffs

"Brilliant, you were excellent!! We didn't realise how great you two were live. Thanks again."

- The Peacock Hotel, Bucks

Thank you so much for helping to make our joint 40th birthday party so special. Out of the 20 thank you’s that I have received, you both get a mention: Julie for her lovely voice and for being so nice to our guests and talking to them, and Scott for his singing and obvious talent on the keyboards."
- Weston Turville Golf Club, Bucks

"Julie you are the best singer we have ever had performing here, and you are both very professional and our most popular twosome, we always get such good feedback and a great night. Look forward to seeing you again soon. "
- The Crown Wine Bar, Woodstock

"Thank you both for a most enjoyable evening, we loved your modest cabaret style, you interacted so well with our members, your Medleys from all eras kept everyone on the dance floor all evening."
- Leamington Spa Golf Club

"Excellent evening, we booked you at the last minute and we were very pleasantly surprised. Your music suited all and you sounded just like a full band. Great value for money, we will be highly recommending you in the future."
