"Chris & Andy helped us out at short notice when an act cancelled on us due to Covid. We also had a poor night weather wise for the event , but it was reasonably well attended & all that did attend enjoyed themselves . Chris & Andy played a range of music that suited r the ages of the people that came & all who did come were impressed by the quality of music Chris & Andy played . We will be looking to book Chris & Andy again without doubt ."
The Skankings
"Fantastic. 👌
Great tunes, played by truly great musicians who really enjoy what they’re doing.
Got everybody dancing and kept them on the dance floor. Played a mixture of ska and reggae as requested, and they didn’t disappoint. They really made it a memorable night. Truly professional, they weren’t long setting up and they didn’t miss a beat. Would definitely hire them again and will wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody who wants their night to run smoothly and be one for everyone to remember.
Thank you all so much. You made my night, and everyone else’s !
Much appreciated. ❤️"
