The Headliners played at our Silver Anniversary Party. They were absolutely brilliant and had all three generations on the dance floor for the whole evening. Many of our friends commented especially on what a great band it was. Well done!

A massive thank you for Saturday night, it was a fantastic evening and we’ve had so many positive comments on how great the band were. The playlist was spot on and I think the majority of people were up dancing for the whole of the sets. Thank you so much for letting Mike play a couple of songs with you. I know he would have really loved that and we, as parents, are always so pleased to see him playing. You are a very ’tight’ band (I learned that phrase from Mike), very professional and very friendly and I’m sure you will have many bookings as a result of the evening. We had just the most perfect day, so thank you for helping to make it so special.

Thank you for Saturday, Phil. You and the boys really did make the evening a success. Thanks for accommodating some of my friends to play a few numbers and sorting out the tech requirements to do this. There were friends of mine dancing who never dance !
