Thank you so much for making the event so special. A superb set that kept the floor buzzing all evening. Old and young enjoyed it in equal measure. Talented musicians and clever arrangements of a wide selection of classic floor-fillers and modern chart toppers. I would highly recommend this professional, engaging and wonderful personal band. without hesitation. Arrangements for the evening were handled so well easing any pressures and liaising directly with the venue where required. 10/10.
