Jayne hired VHS for a Birthday party (available in Blackpool)
"This band played at my birthday party in a village hall setting. I chose them because they said they were suited to smaller venues. The communication before hand was excellent and they seemed genuinely excited to be playing at my party. They arrived dead on time and set up without any fuss, making sure all training wires were taped down and everything was safe and out of the way of us decorating the hall. When they started playing we were all blown away with how good they sounded. After the first set, many guests came up to me and said how much they were enjoying the music and how much they sounded like the original tracks. They made the party and I would do it all again!"
