"Thank you for making our wedding day so special! The music was brilliant and I am so grateful that The Archers theme and 500 Miles were worked into the set. Two days later, my legs still ache from dancing. "

"I just wanted to take a moment and send you a note of thanks for the performance thatJock Rock turned in on July 1st at our daughter's wedding. We have all seen bands that simply mail it in and go through their sets as if they justwant it to be over with. The energy and enthusiasm that the band generated at our reception was simply infectious and you ignited the entire crowd into a wonderful frenzy. The Scots, Brits, Irish, Americans and others in our audience had the best time ever and couldn't tell us enough how much they loved your performance. But in addition to showing us that you are world-class entertainers, I was also very touched by your humanity. We are an extremely close family so in all candour it is sometimes difficult for me to have my daughter live across the pond where I don't get to visit with her as often as I can with her two sisters who live in the States. Her favourite song is Somewhere Over the Rainbow because it speaks to her in a very real way. We were disappointed when we learned that the band did not have that song on your playlist because we thought that it would make the Father/Daughter dance is so incredibly meaningful. One of the greatest surprises of the night was when we realized that you had taken the time to learn the song and played it for us for our dance. You took the time and effort to emotionally connect with the bride and her father on her special day and we can't thank you enough for that. "

"Jukebox James recently sang at our wedding. From time of booking, JJ was extremely helpful & accommodating regarding timings, choice of set list & learning two songs for us. His setup worked perfectly in a smaller venue and the backing tracks gave us the full band experience. On the day, Jim was very friendly & played & sang brilliantly. We really glad we booked Jukebox James & would highly recommend him."

"Lucy performed everything from our ceremony music to the evening and it was absolutely incredible and loved by all! Any request was never too much to do and her personal music we loved! Everyone at the wedding said we nailed our music choice! If I could do it all again, Lucy and her band would be booked again and again.."

"My residents loved these guys so much. Music was great, singing absolutely fantastic. Really played to the crowd and got them singing along. So friendly afterwards too, having a chat with the residents. I've received so much great feedback about them. Can't wait to get them back again! "

"Black Velvet Band provided a five piece ceilidh band and caller for the finale of the Hawkins’ team building event. We thought the room would be too big – but we were wrong! The band brought an absolute gem of a caller, who read the crowd perfectly and the dance floor was full throughout the evening. We could have done with a larger space! The band was superb and the event was enjoyed by all concerned. I thoroughly recommend the band."

"Black Velvet Band helped make the Souldern Village Ceilidh a great success. Ours was a Village event with all ages and the Band got all ages dancing. They played superbly and brought a caller with a good sense of fun. They provided music to dance to, music to listen to and an entertainment show all in one! On a practical level they were professionally early arriving, leaving the event organiser relaxed and free to have a drink! Greatly appreciated in all regards. Ian Grey"

"We had Kodiak Avenue perform at our wedding garden party and it was absolutely perfect, Jayne's voice is beautiful and the guests were buzzing with all the Shania Twain songs which went down a huge hit. They were both polite and professional and I would certainly recommend booking them in a heart beat, thank you so much, we had a fantastic afternoon!"

"Stumbled across them at a private party and genuinely couldn't move from the spot for the whole set. Brilliant singing, incredible harmonies. My new favourite band — and I don't say that lightly. Sarah. M Farnborough"

"We booked the 106 Miles to Chicago duo plus DJ act for my husband’s 50th birthday party 17th November 2018. We were totally delighted with everything from start to finish. Communication throughout the booking process was great – emails were responded to really quickly and everything was set out clearly. They responded quickly to any questions we had. On the day the guys arrived in plenty of time to set up and were really friendly and professional. They got the party started quickly and were so energetic throughout the evening – we had so many comments from guests about how great the entertainment was. It really made the evening for us. We can’t recommend 106 Miles to Chicago enough – a real crowd pleaser! Thanks for all your efforts on Saturday night! Best wishes Miranda and Stephen "
