The Krakens
"From start to finish we have nothing but praise for The Krakens. Chris was quick to respond to my enquiry looking for a band to play at a 30th birthday party and kept in touch from then on. We were sent a varied list of songs to choose from; a mix of rock/pop both modern and classic. Once the booking was confirmed they asked us if there was anything we wanted added to the list and they would learn them for the evening! On the night the band turned up on time, and set up (and packed up) without any bother. Their performance was totally satisfactory, two excellent one-hour sets which included our requested numbers. Everyone agreed that The Krakens were a friendly, “tight” band that performed with confidence and professionalism which made our night that bit special. Would definitely recommend them!"
George Zebra
"Great experience. The band were perfect for the audience. They arrived early to set up and started on time. Three great sets and interacted really well and joined in the fun. Massive thank you for creating a great night!"
Ginny Solo Female Vocalist
"WOW - we had SO MANY guests come up to us during and after the party, to compliment the wonderful Ginny. She was an absolute dream and took on all of our sound, lighting, set list requirements on the night. Providing a PA system for our speech, Ginny was extremely accommodating throughout - she was amazing.
The only negative, was that we were too busy to actually sit down and appreciate all Ginny's hardwork.
We can thoroughly recommend her, a very professional and courteous addition to any event. We will be requiring her services again, should the need arise, without a doubt."
Red Hot Chili Peppers Experience
"These guys really do sound and look like the real thing, not to be missed."
Rock The Night
"Amazing performers , the videos don't do them any justice. We hired the Dawnbreakers for a joint birthday party and they provided the best entertainment. Everyone raved about the band , would highly recommend!"
