Jack Brown23 Jan 2022

Booked for Wedding

Fantastic band. All our guests loved them and their music. Very charismatic and friendly. Great choice for a wedding band, they had everyone up and dancing. They arrived early and set up easily, very nice guys and easy to chat to. Played our choice of a first dance song which they played very well. We will be watching out for them playing elsewhere and we would highly recommend them to anyone wanting some great live music.
