"WOW what can I say, We hired Throwing It Back Duo for our 90s-themed night at Silvers Margate and they brought the house down. The crowd was up dancing all night long thank you both so much for bringing the party to Margate. We can’t wait to have you back later this year "

"Wow!!! What a band! What an atmosphere they created!! Debbie's voice is second to none, and Roger nails the sound of Britpop..... The band were booked for a joint 50th and 18th, so we definitely didn't want a wedding band doing 60's, 70's and 80's and these guys are as far away as you can get from the "wedding singer" vibe. Faithless, Underworld, D Ream, Candi Staton to Oasis, Pulp and Backstreet Boys. The dance floor was heaving, you literally couldn't get another body on it (there was 200 at the party), my 18 year old son and his friends were bouncing at the front along with friends in their 50's and 60's - everybody was back in the 20th century, Rocking the 90's!"

"Just to say everything was perfect! After doing lots of research and searching for a band to play our wedding we struggled for months to find anything that would be anything near perfect and then I found Somerset Soul after watching their video I knew straight away that was the perfect band for the big day! I was absolutely thrilled when they were available as well. It really was the best day and the band just topped an already perfect day! They turned up on time and quickly got set up and ready. They started with a request that they learned in two weeks ( which was covered beautifully) and continued with a superb set. They were friendly and enthusiastic. Every guest at the wedding really enjoyed them. I couldn't rate the day any higher."

"Hi Kirsty, Sorry for the late reply. Last Monday was a mad dash of packing and ferrying people to the airport before going on holiday that evening ourselves so we didn't get a chance to write all our thank you's!! We had a brilliant day and a big thank you to sound system, you were great!! Everyone commented on how good you were! Big thanks again! Antonella "

"We're so glad we chose The Blue Suede Shoes for our wedding - they really made our night. They got all our guests on their feet and we got so many compliments about the music choices. The boys were all really friendly, helpful and great to work with. We'd recommend the band to anyone wanting a good party."

"We wanted to just say THANK YOU SO MUCH for being part of our perfect wedding day. The wedding was everything we could have ever hoped for. We had so much fun and we feel so blessed to have had so many of our wonderful friends and family there with us. Everyone had an amazing time and everyone enjoyed the music thoroughly. In fact, everything went to plan perfectly, the music was amazing throughout the day and so well executed! The sax at the reception was fabulous, even the weather was perfect, so we couldn't be happier! Then the music at dinner was great and the live band in the event… well just phenomenal! Our first dance was just perfect and we enjoyed every second of it! Andy, you have been a complete pleasure to deal with and given me such confidence from day one that the music for the event was under control and you delivered on your promise! THANK YOU!"

"We both thought your music was fantastic, as did the guests - and getting a train going to your rendition of The Locomotion was an absolute highlight for us. Thank you for everything and good luck to you and the band in the future. Vickraaz"
