"Black Velvet Band Hoedown Trio / 7oaks TriClub Hoedown Barn Dance / November 2024 The Black Velvet Hoedown Trio were superb on Saturday 16th November for our annual 7Oaks TriClub dinner dance. We had 50 members turn up at the Chipstead Sailing Club Clubhouse, and I can tell you that as soon as Mike and his band started playing the first set, everyone got up to dance! There were high levels of energy in the room and the Hoedown Trio rose to the occasion spectacularly, matching our enthusiasm and giving us little anecdotes on the history of the dance with instructions as we cooled down and grabbed a different partner. The band were duly fed and watered with a delicious Greek buffet, and by special request they played a Greek dance to thank the chefs. I think Black Velvet were stunned with the energy levels and full dance floor - and there was no slacking from music or dancing. By the end of the second set we were all perspiring in a good way!!!! There have been calls from many members to make this an annual event, so rest assured we will re-book the chaps for a rematch! A fantastic evening had by all. Many thanks to Mike and the band. "

"The band were absolutely fantastic and were great for a party at the pub! They drove all the way from London to North Yorkshire to play for our wedding welcome party. They played so well and got all our guests dancing all night! The choice of songs were great and all band members were really nice and professional! A big thank you to all 3 of them!"

"We just cannot say enough good things about these guys. We were so blown away by how good they were! Everything from our communications with Adam through to the music on the night and all our little requests in between were handled in such a professional manner. The guys were so truly lovely and patient both before and during our wedding. The dance floor was packed all night and although at some points the dancing got a little scary (read BAD), it was great to see everyone having such a good time. All of our guests keep telling us how good the band was and we couldn't agree more. Guys we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Best Day Ever!"

"We booked Party Sounds for our wedding reception and they were absolutely fantastic! The boys played a brilliant mix of music which had people of all ages up and dancing which made for a great party. The band learnt a new song for our first dance which meant a lot to us and they put their own great spin on it. Fantastic time had by all and just a really lovely bunch of guys! Thanks, Laura & Stu xx"
