Booked for Wedding

We booked RFC to play two sets at our wedding reception - they were fantastic from start to finish. Ben was great at answering all of our queries prior to booking and after, and their performance on the day was brilliant, everyone loved it! Great guys and very professional. I would definitely recommend, and would have the band play at future events of ours! Thank you!

Booked for Birthday party

Hell Yeh we’re absolutely fantastic and gave my brother a special birthday to remember. Their playlist was awesome , they interacted brilliantly with us all and brought great energy to their performance. They’re even put their own spin on a few songs. Honestly they are absolutely class! They’re a great bunch of lads too and we are 100% going to book them again.

Booked for Birthday party

Wonderful band PTNA - absolutely made our night!!! They read the crowd they knew when to step it up or pull it back. An incredible night with the most talented musicians. Jake was absolutely fantastic with all the admin and catering to our needs, song choices, timings it was all a brilliant experience. I can not recommend enough!!!! Thank you xx

Booked for Celebration

We would highly recommend this act. We booked them for a 'get together' the night before our wedding. There were about 90 of us in a pretty compromised venue, but Hannah and Charlie were very flexible and gauged the crowd well and were more than happy play requests. We personally thought that they were much better than in real life than their videos and were brilliant value for money. You will not be disappointed if you book them.

Booked for Birthday party

Me and my daughter and all of my 110 guests had a fantastic evening with a great band and genuine, calm, approachable and respectful group. The music is perfect as expected for the nature of my occasion. Highly recommended to the Lakes District for Kendal Music Festival, Kendal Calling Festival and in the lakeside. Over all it was a great success of my 60th birthday. Villamie
