"We booked the guys to play their part in our party themed on New York in the late 50s ( like West Side Story). The perfect choice as it turned out. They even worked a couple of new songs into their set. Would see them again when playing one of their more regular gigs in town. Highly recommended!"

"Ian, thank you so much for last night. You and your band were absolutely fabulous, I didn’t doubt you would be, but you blew me and everyone else away. You made the day really special; I think everyone would have kept dancing if you could have kept playing. Thank you for finishing on our first dance too - that was a special touch."

"Thank you so much for playing at my Dad's 90th Birthday on the boat last Saturday. The music was fantastic and you looked the part too, really complemented the boat setting and pulled the evening together! My Dad was very pleased, said you were perfect and exactly what he wanted, couldn't have improved on it at all, so thank you very much! And thanks for the Happy Birthday tune too, worked really well! "

"Hi Chris, I talked with you after my party on the night. But I want to say again, how amazing, brilliant, fantastic you and your band are (sorry I can’t remember their names). The evening was a great success because of you, I don’t think I’ve been to a party where so many people have danced so much. The way you blended the 20s to 40s music was seamless, excellently done. I and all my guests throughly enjoyed the evening, I’ve heard nothing but brilliant comments about you all, we had a fantastic night, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. I really can’t thank you enough I really can’t. All I can say is a MASSIVE THANK YOU to you all for everything you did to make my party brilliant. I’ve got to think of an excuse to book you again!! Take care & very best wishes, to you and your band. Regards, Paul."

"The girls entertainment was of the finest order and well worth seeing on any stage in the world. I was particularly impressed by the unusual repertoire of music which was brilliantly delivered - especially the 'Show girls' number near the beginning."

"Can I say a massive thank you to you for all your efforts on Saturday night. The music was superb and many of our guests have commented on the quality and originality of the music. It suited everyone of all ages and everyone was up dancing which was exactly what we were hoping for. The whole experience was great, from the ease of booking to your response to my questions, thank you. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you and will certainly look to book you for any future family celebrations."
