Hoedown Band
"We hired the Hoedown Band for our Xmas party and they were fantastic. They were very professional, neatly presented and they sounded great on the night. We were a small crowd but their lead singer [caller] Dawn was very interactive and educational with her dance moves. The band knew their instruments and songs very well and I would certainly recommend them."
The 40 Thieves
"Thanks for your set at our local community festival over the weekend. It was very well received and it was lovely to see lots of people singing along to all the classics you played. Hopefully you'll be available for us to have on the bill again next year."
GIMME GIMME the ultimate tribute to ABBA

Wired
"Guys,
Can I just say what a fantastic night it was on Saturday.
You made it even better. The music you chose to play was brilliant and everyone that I have spoke to since commented on how good you were.
Once again from Kev, Rob and myself a massive thank-you"
Relative Cool
"We thought Relative Cool were absolutely brilliant when they played at our wedding. The vocalist was fabulous! The 3 sets filled the whole evening and definitely had everyone up dancing. I also really appreciated little things like the singer chatting with one of the kids while they had a break between sets. They were thoroughly professional throughout. We spoke to Tom before the evening and he was always really responsive with messages. We would definitely recommend them and thank you very much for making it a great evening!"
Phil Richards Music
"Phil played at our wedding 2 days ago at Lincoln Castle. His standard of performance was really excellent, fantastic singer. Phil took the time to learn our first dance song too and played it perfectly. Since it was a such hot day Phil also improvised and moved his kit around so as to play outside for a time (it was getting very warm in our TeePees) which gave a really chilled out and relaxed feel to the day, playing with the beautiful backdrop of Lincoln Castle with guests sitting on hay bails and dancing was special too. A 10/10 service for sure (I think my cousin even tried to book him for their wedding next year too such was his level of performance and friendly persona). Thanks for being part of our special day Phil, we really appreciate it. Samantha & Michael."
