"Cat's Claw are a fine band who really made our party! The music was great, the caller has a light touch and a friendly manner He enabled as many people as possible to join in, including 10 under 10s and some reluctant dancers. The sound was wonderful. They arrived reassuringly early and set up unobtrusively and were flexible about timings of sets. I would recommend them unhesitatingly."
