Yubaba's Reviews

5 out of 5

Yubaba made my night and party! The band were superb and I couldn't tell you how many times I was asked where I found them and told how good they are! Try them for yourselves, I promise they won't disappoint! There were people on that dance floor that don't normally join in! I want to do it all again ... in comfortable shoes this time as two days later my feet are still throbbing as I didn't want to sit down while they were playing!🤭
