We had an incredible day and the evening was great fun with you guys playing so amazingly -everyone was up and dancing! All of our friends and family commented on how brilliant you were and I have no doubt that you will be getting more business from them as a result of our Wedding! We hope you enjoyed yourselves too.

amazing band

Chris, Just wanted to drop you a note as we’re now back to in the UK to say thank you so much to you and your amazing band for providing such a great entertainment for our wedding. Your flexibility and understanding of our requirements ensured a seamless and fun event for all. We’ve had lots of great comments about you and I’ve had a few people ask where we got you from and will happily pass on your details to anyone needing a great band. Also pass on my thanks to your drummer who very kindly let me play; it was the icing on the cake. Best regards, Adrian

The music was perfect

Hi Chris, Robin & I would like to thank you so much for playing at our wedding on Sunday at Rivervale Barn. We had a perfect day made even more perfect with your amazing band. The music was perfect and we loved our first dance and Oscar was thrilled to hear Big River! From day one I always wanted a live band having grown up in around live music. Thank you for letting me have a go on the drums - Robin had never seen me play so there was nothing more fitting than that debut to be on our wedding day. Please pass on my thanks to your other band members and hopefully we may get to hear you again in the future! Thanks Kerri & Robin

you just blew us all away!

Dear Chris and the band. I just would like to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding at Highcliffe Castle on 6/8/11, it was absolutely amazing and you just blew us all away! I have been thinking of when I can next hire you again and my dad said about for our first year anniversary having a big garden party at his in the new forest so look out I may just take him up on this. Thank you again you were just fantastic. Best wishes Beth and Neil (Wedding reception Highcliffe Castle)

you really created a fantastic atmosphere

Dear Chris Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on April 21st - so many people have commented on what a superb band we chose! Daddy was particularly delighted that you played Achy Breaky Heart - as you may have gathered!! I think it''s rare to live up to testimonials as completely as you guys did; it was great to see the dance floor so busy, & you really created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the evening! Thank you also for your patience in answering all my questions, & I hope I wasn't too high maintenance! Thank you, again, for everything - we certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend you! Many thanks Abbie & Dan
