Booked for Birthday party

Really great experience with Two Left Feet. They were super helpful in advance in planning and the performance was brilliant. The caller really involved and helped the whol crowd, that was a range of kids and adults, and all the guests left smiling having had a brilliant time. The band helped create a brilliant memory for my wife's 40th birthday party. Thank you so much, from Dave and Ffion in Stockport.

Booked for Celebration

What can I say? Phil and his band were absolutely superb would be an understatement. Our wedding party was enhanced beyond measure by their professionalism and talent. As a caller Phil is witty, persuasive and a consumate entertainer going above and beyond to deliver fun and enjoyment. From the moment they started till the moment they finished they had us all dancing our socks off, in one case quite literally. Going above and beyond our caller even made up the numbers for our last dance. I would have no hesitation in booking Phil for future family events.

Booked for Birthday party

We had a joint 50th & 80th birthday party. Black Velvet were fantastic. Great musicians and made the Barn dance run smoothly. We had ages from 5 to 80 and they tailored everything perfectly. Made it a birthday to remember
