Testimonials

"Alex was fantastically helpful and friendly leading up to the wedding and even did a bit of backing vocals for my husband when he did his (amateur) Elvis set during their break. Every guest said how brilliant they were - from their music, to getting the crowd going, but above all their professionalism. We had over 200 people and everyone had a good old dance! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone who wants a great band!"
Annabel Evans

"Thank you so much guys, I can't believe how much I enjoyed the night! Loved everything about the act. Thanks for all the energy and effort you put into my wedding and the performance, you must all have been exhausted by the end of it. You are a wicked act. I would wish you good luck but you don't need it!"
Vicky Hall (Lyndsey from 'Teachers') TV4 & E4

"Just a quick note to say thank you for providing such fantastic entertainment for our party. Everything was superb, from the costumes to the sound and choice of music. Everyone had a ball and I am sure we will be talking about you for some time to come."

Julie & Chris Hayward. Fakenham"You were absolutely fantastic, the musicianship in the band is of a very high standard and the costumes are excellent. A truly GREAT SHOW."
Catherine Monoghan (Channel 4's 'Footballer's Wives')

"I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to you and the band for such a great evening. I can't remember when the guests had such a great evening - the number of people up an dancing at the end of the night was unbelievable. I shall be recommending you to anyone who needs a 1st class band."
