Thanks Daisy. It was a really nice gig to play, largely because you and the rest of the staff were so helpful and welcoming to us, as well as your customers. No wonder Morston Hall has such a peerless reputation. It's great to have your feedback and know that we did a good job!

Fantastic experience with Kit and the band. Extremely professional from initial contact to set up before and a pleasure to deal with. They made my Mum’s 80th Birthday celebrations and they had everyone up dancing! Amazing band!
