Based in Stratford-upon-Avon, England (32 miles from Gloucester) Pauline - Birmingham Retirement Home Photo of Drifftwood Drifftwood "Great band had the place rocking will book again." Based in Bristol, England (32 miles from Gloucester) Chris - Old crown pup 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. Best wishes Peter Rowntree" Based in Bristol, England (32 miles from Gloucester) Peter Rowntree - Birthday Party Photo of Shadow Sax Shadow Sax "5 out of 5 Absolutely Amazing **** Thomas played for my Dads 70th Birthday Garden Gathering on Sunday he was absolutely brilliant we had so many compliments from our guests he was professional & so helpful from start to finish he has an awesome playlist and had even learned a few extra of my Dads favourite songs I had requested beforehand can’t wait to organise another event will definitely be booking him again !!!
