Nichola Lambert16 Sep 2024

Major Major you were absolutely brilliant at our party. We received so much positive feedback from our guests. You were a complete hit! Great communication from Ian from the start. Ian sent me the bands repertoire and we chose the songs we wanted them to play, which was most of them 😁. Lots of floor fillers. Of course everyone when crazy when Mr Brightside was played! The band members were very professional and are really nice guys. Highly recommend.

What can I say, they were beyond fantastic, not one person cottoned on. I was the only one that new, when they started singing, faces were a picture. Absolutely everyone got up and danced round. All I can say is thank you so very very much, worth every single penny. Made a very happy day even happier.

Wasn't sure what to expect as everything sorted during lockdown but all went brilliantly good communication and what a fantastic band which made my 60th party go down really well and I would highly recommend them for any party and played songs we liked and new what the audience wanted 😀

All the staff at GO were delighted with the performance, and thoroughly enjoyed the sessions -the band and their music were brilliant - AMAZING experience! We can't wait to invite them back in the near future :)

Miro Ivanov2 Jul 2021

Great experience! It was my wife’s mum 50th Birthday Party. Everyone enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone that wants that extra bit to their party, even if they are not Elvis fans.

Chad Cookney22 Aug 2019

We were fortunate to book The Groovy Cats for our Summer Corporate Event. From start to finish ultimate professionals and really nice people. The event was a great success to which the great music, sense of humour from the band members all contributed. Would recommend and book again - wait...we have booked again for our Christmas Event - Well done guys - a real pleasure - Chad

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.
