I first noticed the boys busking outside the Royal Pavilion Brighton they were brilliant, they also had business cards on them. I arranged for them to play at a party for us, we had around 60 guests. They really made the evening. Turning up on time as arranged and confirming all details a few days before. The wide range of music they played was fantastic and was perfect for the mixed ages of guests from teenagers to my partners Dad who is 90 years old, they really got the party going with a swing. Elks and Benjamin are very talented musicians and we will definitely have them entertain us again.
