Incredible!! Jay & Tasha are fantastic. Very professional to deal with and incredibly friendly as well. They kindly learnt a song for our event and managed their set perfectly to play the song at the exact time it was required. We had so many guests comment about how great their sound is and with all the instruments they play, the range of songs is phenomenal! Highly highly highly recommend booking The Throwbacks - you certainly won’t be disappointed!!
