“Booked the Long Lost Frets trio for a garden party with 90 guests and they were perfect. Their musicality is their strength - they cover a wide range of music but in a style that is unique to them - rhythmically extremely tight, wonderful harmonies, great phrasing and wonderful virtuoso input from all three. Sophisticated, feel-good, class act.”
