Booked for Birthday party

Thank you for making my grandads birthday party so special! You are all fantastic musicians, and having you perform for us really was the cherry on the top of a perfect celebration. We were at another family gathering today with quite a few of the same people from yesterday, and literally everyone commented on what a fantastic party it was, and how amazing you guys were :) I'm so pleased we went for the 5 piece band in the end, it was definitely worth it, and the addition of the saxophonist really completed the sound we were going for. Your have such a wonderful voice, and sounded even better live! My grandad is very fussy about who he likes and you received very high praise from him! Thank you for all the little extra touches - playing certain pieces of my grandads favourite music, singing happy birthday and taking the time to have a chat with my grandad in between sets! I'm so glad I found you. The whole booking process through Poptops was straight forward, and although I wasn't the most organised of customers, your patience and correspondence to my requests and messages made everything super easy. We are already looking for an excuse to have a party to get you back. Once again thank you so so much!

Jess and the band were fantastic. The music was exactly what we were looking for and really made the party. Lots of great feedback from all our guests. Jess was also very responsive and flexible in designing the right tone and set lists to match what we were looking for. I'd recommend highly.
