The Hat & The Fiddle Band's Reviews

5 out of 5

Marcus and the band are absolutely fantastic, warm and welcoming. They did a brilliant job and had everyone on the dance floor with their amazing music. If I had to book a band for an event again it would be The Hat & The Fiddle Band!

Our experience after choosing The Hat & The Fiddle to play at out wedding was amazing. The band were communicative, listened to requests and generally couldn't do enough. All our guests loved the band and commented on how much fun they had dancing the night away. Would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking to book a professional, friendly and extremely talented band for a special occasion. Thank you to everyone!

We highly recommend The Hat & The Fiddle Band. They were the highlight of our wedding and we received so many compliments about the music and were asked countless times “how did you find them?” We would book them again in a heart beat and we are planning to go see another of their performances in Wales in the near future. Thank you so much Marcus and the gang!

OMG!!! After seeing you boys play in the Shack I am literally hooked! Thank you so much for a great time you literally made the night! :)

Evening lads, Just a quick message, you played our wedding on Sunday. I wanted to say thank you very much! You were outstanding, more or less everyone I spoke to said how good the singer in the afternoon was and the band in the night!! I avoid the dance floor when I’m with the Mrs, unless I can swing my shirt I have no moves and generally this causes an argument, otherwise I would have been the front man there!
