"Just wanted to write a quick note to thank you and your band for playing at our wedding. We had a fantastic time and so many people commented on how much they enjoyed the band."
Wedding client

”The First Class got the dance floor crowded on their first number and it stayed that way throughout the evening. Their energy was transferred to the crowd but I fear their rhythm wasn't! Dancers of all ages thought the band was fantastic.”
K.Booker

“Very good band - flexible with programme, did'nt mind a guest joining them for a few numbers, very good at getting people up and dancing.”
W.Taylor
