Booked for Birthday party

What an amazing night! The band were terrific and played all the tunes we requested. The 100 plus audience loved every minute and we had so many compliments about the quality of the music and the atmosphere they generated. They were also extremely friendly, even giving me a birthday card. Would highly recommend! Jim Smith

Booked for Wedding

Tom was fantastic in every way. Great at communicating before our wedding and then on the night he and Issac were brilliant. On time, super friendly, great at interacting with our friends and family and the songs they chose were perfect. They read the crowd perfectly and we had so many compliments for having chosen them. Thanks so much guys, you made our day x

Booked for Birthday party

Jess and the band were amazing, the perfect group for my party. They played two sets of vintage classics which fit the 40s theme perfectly. My children and I loved dancing to their sets and the older guests had just a much fun listening while sitting down.

Booked for Corporate Function

"""We decided to have Josie entertain our guests with her fiddle for our annual Burns Night celebration. Her attention to detail was impressive regarding the music selection, timings of the performance and interaction with our speaker, and despite the venue's restrictions, Josie played a brilliant set of Scottish folk music. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and would indeed employ her again for another event if required."

Booked for Christmas party

I contacted the Groovy Cats as we were interested in the band performing at our work's Christmas party. Once we were put in contact with the band, they were very responsive and more than willing to help with the 100's of questions I kept throwing in their direction. Although I did not attend the party, The Groovy Cats got numerous mentions and an outstanding amount of praise. We sent out an internal survey to get some feedback on the event and the music/band appeared countless times with many comments requesting The Groovy Cats for our next party. You really delivered beyond our expectations and I cannot thank you enough. Antonia

Booked for Birthday party

This band are brilliant for a laid back but sophisticated event. I had a private party for landmark birthday in a beautiful hotel, and as a trio, they really added to the ambience for the evening. They played wonderfully and everyone loved their renditions of pop and more traditional swing/jazz songs in a gypsy jazz style. They were friendly, well dressed, communicative, punctual and did a great job. I would be glad to hire them again.

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.
