Arthur Finch31 Mar 2023
Below The Border are a fabulously talented band who played at our wedding anniversary party. Our guests were not exactly spring chickens but absolutely everyone was dancing to their favourite songs from the 70s until midnight. Friends kept asking us, “Who are they and where did you find them?” Some of the lads had record contracts back in the day and that was apparent as soon as they struck up. Brilliant guitarists and singers. Lovely harmony vocals from Gail. Everything sounded exactly like the original records. And they were such nice polite people. They arrived bang on time, set up their equipment unobtrusively and played two sets of wonderful music. No fuss. Not a single ego in sight. Real Pro’s. Highly recommended! Thanks so much boys. You made our party such a fantastic success and we’ve had so many messages from our friends telling us how much they enjoyed the music and how good you were. “Gobsmacked by your band” was one and loads saying “Fab band!” Photos to follow

Since the initial booking Jess was very responsive in answering all our questions and creating a special jazz version of our first dance for our wedding. The band were on time and very courteous especially seeing we were 30 mins overrunning on the speeches. We would not hesitate to recommend Jess and her band to anyone else for any occasion.

We were very happy with the ease of communication with Jonny and his willingness to change the day and time to suit our changing needs. He was prompt, respectful and played a good set that entertained old (80) and young (10) alike. He made a special occasion out of difficult restricted pandemic circumstances. Five stars.

The band came to play for my dad's 70th birthday. Really friendly guys, who played all the classics, and even welcomed my dad up to play the drums. Everyone had a fab night and would definitely book them again. Thank you Below The Border

Doc Emmett Brown (Wes Finch) played 2 x awesome sets at our Picnic In The Park event - excellent musician, with a fantastic voice. I cannot recommend him highly enough - made a lot of fans here I can tell you!!

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
