"Eccentric Pony were absolutely awesome at our wedding! They kept the dancefloor on fire all night and judged the crowd really well whilst also taking into account our preferences that we'd discussed before the day. To be honest the videos don't do them justice! Jimmy's communication was brilliant from our first enquiry to the night itself. We had loads of comments from our guests about how great they were-can't recommend them enough, thanks guys! Bids and Joy x"

We hope to be able to work with you again at future events."

"We loved having you all. You were so fantastic and professional. It certainly made all the difference having you there later. I knew timings would be difficult we could have danced all night. Lots of lovely letters and compliments about the band."

"We wanted to say a big thank you for your beautiful music at our wedding on Friday. We had so many comments about how lovely it was – and even Jason (groom) said Hoppipolla brought him to tears! Thanks again for making our day so special."

"Loved them! They played at Matt and Ellie’s wedding party at Lake Henry (Instagram: @alexanderweddingsandevents) and expertly ‘read’ the dance floor playing a fabulous range of songs that had the dance floor buzzing all night long. The band interacted with their audience and looked as if they were having as much fun as we were dancing to the great tunes. South West Band are definitely a 5 STAR band."

"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!!!"

"Whilst searching for a 1920s style band for a 30th birthday party we came across Trip for Biscuits. WOW, just WOW!! As soon as I watched the videos and listened to the tracks online I knew we had to book them. Laura's voice is outstanding and the musicianship is second to none! So glad we found you guys. Highly recommend, you and your guests will not be disappointed!"

"Here is a belated thank you for your awesome performance at our wedding on the 27th of July at Orchardleigh. You really capped off a magnificent day off for us; you really had the whole room rocking from start to finish, which was just what we wanted. We had so many comments on how good you guys were on the night and have had many chats with various guests since the wedding recollecting on how excellent the band was. We are so glad we chose you to play at the wedding and should we have any other friends with weddings/functions we won’t hesitate in recommending you. Thank you once again you were truly marvelous."
