What an amazing band, they were brilliant from our very first conversation right through to the end of our summer party. They are so professional, friendly and down right fantastic musicians. Our guests were raving about them. We can’t recommend them highly enough, brilliant band. Thanks so much to Lara & Paul and the rest of the band, with much affection, Karen & Brendan x

Omg where do I even start? This guys are out of this world! We booked them for our wedding last Saturday and from the moment we had the first contact with them, they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our playlist and everything! They absolutely smashed it on the day, they had everyone up and dancing the whole night and we got sooo many compliments from our guests on how amazing they were! If you are thinking to book them for your event, just go for it, I promise you won’t regret! A massive thank you for the entire band, you’ve all been absolute legends & you deserve a 1000 stars not just 5!

Lara, Paul and their band were INCREDIBLE! They were the best wedding or event band I've ever come across and we are so glad that we chose them for our wedding. They kept the dancefloor popping all night long and there were always at least 30 people dancing at any given moment. Both Lara and Paul are amazing singers and musicians and they know how to keep a party going strong!
