We were slightly apprehensive of having a niche music style at a wedding where not everyone would have been fans, but James and his band were fantasic and won everyone over quickly. From the first dance to the long song everything was played fantastically and had people dancing for the whole night. Would highly recommend.

Lafayette just played at our wedding and everybody loved them! Really nice people, playing interesting music that gets everybody up dancing together. They even came with a caller who led the dance on certain songs, she was fab! Can't wait to go and see them again, thanks guys x

Twin Flames were 🔥 They arrived on time and absolutely delivered. With a brilliant selection of instruments and tunes, they brought exactly the right energy at exactly the right time — lifting the mood, filling the marquee, and keeping everyone dancing. Such a great choice for a community celebration. Highly recommended!

If you want an excellent band that will understand and an adapt to your needs these are your people. The best thing (apart from the talent) was the total lack of hassle. You book them, then they arrive and do the business. Well worth it. Thanks guys!

We booked “Whiskey River” for our fringe event because their kind of music appealed to us and, hopefully, our audience. They did not disappoint. They were professional and helpful in their set up and arrived early at the venue. Their set was interesting and varied. Our audience certainly enjoyed the show and we’ve have had excellent feedback

The Tom Cole band surpassed all my expectations. They are really nice guys. I left it to them to chose what they performed and wasn't disappointed! My party guests loved them and kept asking how I found them. I wanted a different to the norm sound/performance and got it. They managed to get nearly everyone (there's always 1!) up and dancing/jumping up and down! I would highly recommend them. 😁

Whiskey River were excellent for our event. We had an outdoor garden party with a Rodeo theme. They fitted out really well playing a great mix of music, the guests all loved them. Was a perfect afternoon of music. They were very professional and communicated well. All very friendly and would recommend to anyone looking for country type music. Thanks guys

The band exceeded all of my expectations. Every single guest at my husband’s 50th birthday party has taken the time to write to me and tell me how great the party was and especially the band. They had everyone-all ages-dancing. We had several Americans at party so the Americana music in addition to the Irish fiddle, and James threw in some Dolly for my English Dolly lovers, and there wasn’t an idle foot to be found. Just excellent.
