The band were superb! From before we even booked them they communicated fully with us and listened to all our ideas for what we wanted. Communication was excellent all the way through and on the day they showed up with plenty of time for setting up and to meet with us. The first dance song was performed incredibly and they followed up with another song choice we had for our “Back to the Future” moment. Incredibly friendly and excellent musicians they had everyone partying all night long. They even allowed my groom to sing a song to me too! Can not rate them high enough! They were brilliant and we would book them 1000x over! Loved the touch of the set list and a pic at the end of the night too!

Fantastic band. Played at our wedding in Little Neston on 16th July and smashed it. Really contributed to the atmosphere at our party. Got the audience rocking and everyone commented on how good they were. We highly recommend them to anyone who’s taste in music is similar to ours. Also, communicated really well as we made the arrangements in the run-up to our big day, special thanks to Nic for this. Thanks again guys for your contribution to a special night. Mark & Becky.
