"Just wanted to say thanks so much for Saturday evening. You and the band were amazing and loads of people commented how great you all were. The guy from Offley said you were the best band they had ever had! You really helped to make the day special."

"We hired Radio Dukes to play at the evening do for our wedding in August 2024. We first heard the band perform after attending a friend’s wedding two years ago. We were thoroughly impressed so we made an enquiry. From the very start the communication has been superb. All our queries were answered very quickly and in a friendly manner. We decided to go with the five piece core band option as that is what we heard during our friend’s wedding, and we are so glad that we did! The band sounded absolutely amazing throughout the evening. They can do it all; from an intimate slow song for the first dance to high octane rock anthems, the variety and energy they brought had everyone in our wedding party dancing and having the best time. We couldn’t recommend Radio Dukes highly enough!"

" Massive congratulations to my son Charlie Wyatt-Butler and my daughter-in-law Skye Wyatt-Butler it was the most amazing day and night - after all the hard work, I think we pulled it off well in the end. Huge thanks to Melanie jane Photography for blending in and making us all feel at ease in front of the lens. For the super quick 2 day turnaround of the first look video - I can't wait to see the rest of the photos. Huge thanks to the RUSSC CLUB for a great venue and a big shout out for DJ Hills and for the most amazing band The Razorz who learnt and performed a new song chosen by Charlie for his bride"

"Free Spirit are just amazing!! They played at my party and I couldn’t have asked for better. From day one of booking right through to the event, they made it all so easy. They were happy to play my playlists in between sets and were so helpful. The band played great music and got the dance floor filled. Highly recommend them!!"

Hi Clare, Many thanks for your kind words. We really enjoyed playing at your party and loved the enthusiasm from some of the dancers (yourself included). That enthusiasm feeds the band. Thank you for booking us. If you attend any of our local gigs, say hello, you're an official FreeSpiritee 😀 So glad we helped make your night a night to remember. Many happy returns, you look good on it. Rob.

"Thank you so much for everything that you and the band did on the wedding day. You were all absolutely fantastic and I have to say, I couldn't get onto the dance floor at times as it was so packed!! Everyone commented on how great the band was and I know for a fact another couple that are getting married have enquired about you. We went to a wedding at Mallory a few months ago and there were many of the same guests so I was desperate for our wedding to be different, having you there made sure of that. Anyway, I could go on and on. Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special!!"

"Kirsty was absolutely incredible and we’re so glad we booked her for our wedding! Over the last couple of years we’ve been to a number of weddings, none of which had a dance floor you didn’t want to leave, and as a result we were really wary when booking our DJ. We wanted to dance! We had a long list of things that were very important to us and finding someone that really understood our vision was absolutely essential. We’d met with a few DJ’s, none of which were giving us the right ‘vibe’ and then we found Kirsty. We had a phone call with her, during which we discussed every item on our very long list of requirements and she just GOT IT. She made us feel so at ease and reassured us that she understood exactly what we were looking for. My Wife and I both have incredibly varied music tastes which were catered for perfectly by Kirsty! Kirsty is SO organised. She sent us a document detailing everything she needed from us to do her job excellently. One of the items we were very concerned about was our ‘Do Not Play’ list, Kirsty was SO respectful of it from our very first conversation, and we just knew we had nothing to fear. We each made her a playlist, showcasing our individual music tastes, and she was able to blend them together perfectly on the night in a way that not only perfectly suited us, but enticed our guests, of all ages, onto the dance floor. We got married on the longest and hottest day of the year, 34°C and it wasn’t dark until gone 10:30pm but that didn’t matter, her playlist on the night (which she sent a copy of to us post wedding, which we loved) was so perfectly curated, people were dancing from the second she set up until we had to turn the music off. Every song on our ‘Must Play List’ was ticked off at the perfect time throughout the night, she was true to her promise and didn’t allow anybody to make requests (one of our big no-no’s as we’d had Uncles threaten some very questionable song requests leading up to the wedding). My personal favourite part of Kirsty’s set was probably the last half hour, she read the dance floor perfectly banger after banger after banger, and perfectly timed our final song with the music cut off time which made our venue very happy. She also played us out with a little personalised song that everybody loved! We had so many compliments on the music from our guests!! All of her equipment was excellent and set the vibe perfectly, she clearly knows her equipment very well because it took her no time to set up or pack away at the end of the night. Fantastic lights which didn’t do that really annoying thing of nearly blinding you as they spin around the room, a personal pet peeve of mine. Her speakers were excellent and perfectly balanced, not too bass-y and set to the perfect volume to sing your lungs out but not go to bed with a ringing in your ears! She came and said hi as she arrived to check in with us, then said goodbye and had a bit of a chat with us as she packed away at the end of the night, but other than that, she didn’t speak to us whilst playing her set enabling us to fully enjoy ourselves and stay in the moment. Thank you for that! Kirsty is super on top of all of her paperwork, up to date with insurance and PAT tests, which will be required by any venue, so to have that presented to us without needing to ask helped to relieve some of the organisational stress surrounding the wedding. Every time we thought it was probably time to check in with her leading up to the wedding, she’d beat us to it, again, giving us one less thing to remember to do. Honestly, we can’t thank you enough for being so on top of everything and giving us no doubts that we could rely on you ♥ Our only regret is that we didn’t book Kirsty for her acoustic set during the day as she has an incredible voice we wish we’d gotten to hear more of! Thank you so much for all of your help throughout the process, for putting up with our requests and concerns and for making the evening of our wedding an absolutely cracking party!! We’ll be back in touch for our next event!!!"

"On behalf of myself and the bride and groom, I wanted to thank the band for providing such fantastic music during the dinner service and for being so flexible with timings. The whole band were a pleasure to work with, extremely polite, helpful and not to mention very talented! It was wonderful to see people up and dancing before the dinner started and the style of music was completely in keeping with the Wedding theme. It would be a pleasure to work with you again."

"Nick and the boys of The Leathernecks were so good, so so good! We cannot recommend them highly enough, they made our wedding reception! The DJ mentioned how good they were and every guest we have spoken to has said the band were amazing. So thank you for helping us celebrate our special day. Dan & Steph"
