Photo of Jay and the Demics Jay and the Demics "The band were amazing. The front man was, (wow) so thank you for a great night of entertainment" Based in Taunton, England Julie Toland - Private party Photo of we're broke up we're broke up "We were delighted with the 19Sixties at our joint 70th birthday party at the Bishops Palace in Wells last Saturday. We are renowned for our parties so you had a tough act to follow but you created a great atmosphere and everyone thought the music was fantastic. It was especially good for me as you kindly allowed me to run through a couple of songs in advance of the party so I could re-live my youth as an aged rocker. This made it special for me and I’d like to thank you, Garf and Wayne for accommodating me in such a welcoming fashion. Well done and I have no hesitation in recommending you for similar events.
