Absolutely brilliant band, have seen them before and loved them, but to have them playing at our own party was the perfect addition to an amazing night! We received soooo many compliments on how good they were. Would recommend to anyone.

The Manuals couldn't have been more perfect for my joint 30th and Dad's 70th birthday party. They had an extensive songlist to choose from that spanned decades to cater to music that every age would love. They had us up dancing from the first song to the last. Tereza has an incredible voice and was spot on with communication throughout the run up to, and on the night. Thank you so much for being the highlight of such a special evening. A night we, and our guests, will never forget! It was the best!!

’I hired in The Manuals for my wife’s sixtieth birthday party after them being recommended to me. An extremely likeable trio well versed in creating the kind of atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the occasion. Musically it was impeccable, and the band’s energy kept the party going. If you want your party/wedding to go with a swing, then hire them in. A really fun band to have play at any special event ‘’
