Emily hired The New Foundations for a Private event (available in Oxfordshire)
"Just recommended the New Foundations to a friend and suggested they read the reviews - however, this showed that my review, that I left in April was not there?!! Not sure how that happened - so will leave another one now! We booked the New Foundations in April for my Birthday Party - fortunately we had the opportunity to see them in rehearsal before the party, so we knew from the start they were great and exactly what we wanted. They are all excellent musicians and Noel the lead vocalist has just the right voice and presence for fronting the band. We had a great night- all ages from 20 somethings to 70 somethings were impressed and all said that the Band made the night! I have just returned from a music festival in the west country ( no not that one) The music was great but those of us who had been to my party said " Shame they couldn't have got the New Foundations along here to play!" Next year lads?"
Peter hired The New Foundations for a Private event (available in Oxfordshire)
"We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding band. From the moment they set up, everything looked incredibly professional and polished. The lighting and overall setup looked fantastic and really added to the atmosphere. The booking process and organisation were seamless from start to finish, making everything incredibly easy and stress-free. The musicians themselves were exceptional. The vocals were amazing, the talent across the whole band was brilliant, and they were fantastic at reading the room and knowing exactly what to play and when. The roaming microphone and saxophone were such a great touch and went down incredibly well with our guests. Most importantly, they absolutely nailed the atmosphere. The dance floor was never empty once, everyone was up dancing from the moment they started until the end of the night. We had so many guests comment afterwards on how brilliant the band were. We honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They were incredibly talented, professional and such a huge part of what made our wedding reception so much fun."
