Slumberjacks
"The band members, very respectful and responsible, arrived on time and were very professional at all times.
But honestly, we felt very disappointed that when contacting this band, we were specific about confirming if they played certain songs, certain artists, including rock and roll songs, which was the main concept of the party including decoration, etc. A party obviously centered on the birthday person for their 80th birthday, and the band played a selection of music that wasn’t what we requested. So, sorry for the honesty, but in that sense, we were very very disappointed. The idea was to hear the birthday person’s favorite songs, and that didn’t happen. That was the main reason we decided to invest in a band instead of going to a nightclub to listen to random music."

"Thank you all so much for the excellent entertainment you gave us at the Christmas function. I wasn't sure what to expect but you all knew the great songs to play and please everyone that was there. I especially loved the jazzed up versions of the Christmas songs! Thank you again and we hope to have you back."

"Thanks so much for being part of making [POWER UP] so stunning.
I meant what I said about your amazing show – it deserves to have a subsequent life and be seen by more people.
It was clever, thoughtful, of great artistic merit and performed with skill, enthusiasm and heart.
Can’t ask for more than that!"
