Dave and Rich (fiddle) added a fantastic, lively folk-inspired set to our small Cornish wedding. A great relaxed atmosphere, everyone was up dancing and singing along. Dave was great to communicate with leading up and even recorded us a demo of our first dance to practice too. Would highly recommend!

An incredible evening. Harbottle & Jonas are superb musicians. Beautiful harmonies, wonderfully versatile with fantastic new cover version that we had requested. Their own material was sublime.

'Dave and Freya were amazing. Friendly but super professional. Just perfect. From the communication, price to the first song. They had everyone at the wedding dancing from the second they started. Can't recommend Harbottle & Jonas highly enough'.
