You helped make our wedding day very memorable and our wedding video shows that everyone was enjoying your†performance very much indeed!! We won't hesitate to recommend you to all our friends. All the best and thanks again!!"
- Kate and Duncan Donald, Wedding

"Just a quick mail to say many many thanks for coming up to Wigan on 14th August for our wedding. You were superb! Everyone commented that the band 'made the night do'. The atmosphere was wonderful, your playlist great and you just played on and on..... We would recommend you to anyone."
- Steve & Vicky Walls, Private Wedding

"Just a little note to thank you so much for performing at our Ladies Night on Saturday - you were superb! All of my friends who regularly come to our Lodge's Ladies Nights have said that this was the best yet because of the music. I'm not sure that some the older members of the Lodge would agree but we out-numbered them substantially and totally enjoyed ourselves. Our school has a Celebration Ball coming up next year and I'm going to start lobbying them to book you as I thought you were
brilliant."
- Jo Brush, Masonic Ladies Night

"Well , what can i say ......what a bloody fantastic night we had !

I have had nothing but praise and everyone has comented on the band and how brilliant you were so please pass on my sincere thanks to the other guys .I hope you all enjoyed it too and were happy with the venue,parking access etc.. we really are the talk of the town!!"
- Sarah Page, Staff Winter Ball

"It was wonderful to meet you at last on Saturday. From the first contact with you I just knew we would get on and that you were going to give us a fabulous performance at Victoria and Richard's wedding. It has been a huge pleasure discovering you and now I have the formula for organising a big party here I cannot wait for the next excuse to ask you to come and play for us. The day was perfect and your input was a large part in making it all such a wonderful occasion for the newly weds. I am only sorry I had to be dashing about a bit and playing hostess as the stories I have been hearing from my neices about their antics on the dance floor make me wish the video man had stayed around a bit longer! It certainly sounds as if you had a very enthusiastic and appreciative audience! Thank you for your kindness and efficiency, really important when one is juggling so many balls in the air. I knew I could relax and let you take over. Beyond the Sea was stunning and beautiful. Thank you for learning it especially for Vic and Rick. HUGE THANKS FROM US ALL. Hope to see you again soon. Only a few years before Geoffrey is 60, I think I may be able to persuade him to have a party"
- Karen Berril, Wedding
