Bellows, Scratchitt & Pluckitt
"Bellows, Scratchitt & Pluckitt came and played for our wedding reception in October and did an absolutely fantastic job. They read the room extremely well, making sure that the dances were appropriate to the ability of the group, and did their best to include everyone from 3 year olds to 83 year olds. We had so much fun and would highly recommend them!"
