The Eccentrics is awesome we had great time. Both Archie and Trick are very talented. Great music.. Great vibe!
The Eccentrics were absolutely fantastic - so nice to have something a bit different too. Thanks for a great night!
We booked DJ Sax for our wedding and they were absolutely brilliant! Apart from sax & flute they also had some drums (which the kids took to immediately!) And it got lots of our guests involved ! They are super friendly, reliable, on time and just fabulous - they played requests that were a bit "out of the box" for a wedding which was awesome and got everybody dancing , we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for being part of our big day and giving us and our guests an incredible evening! Janka & Rob
So glad we booked The Eccentrics for our wedding. Everyone had a great time and loved them. Great mix of music and they took requests, even learning one of the songs they were not familiar with. Would highly recommend them and will use them again in future!
Thanks Archie. It was a strange 60th birthday for my Mum during lockdown with friends and family joining via zoom but your performance was fantastic. Really great. Cheers!!
Great entertainment, worked the crowd well, perfect choice for NYE party.
We booked The Eccentrics for a dinner and entertainment evening held in the village of Bray Berkshire. We decided to have The Eccentrics as the headlining act - a great decision as the act really lived up to top-billing. Unexpected, amusing and completely different, I would be very happy to give a full recommendation for them for whatever event you are planning. Turned up on time, reliable, flexible and easy to work with. On top of that, Archie is a lovely bloke.
Archie and his saxophonist where amazing, they brought style and class to my 50th birthday they read the audience well, with when they played and what they played, I left the playlist to them with little instruction... 100% would recommend Archie he was fantastic and can’t thank him enough..
The Eccentrics were great, they bought something a little different to our wedding. We went for the DJ and Sax option however they also played the flute to some songs which the guests loved. Would highly recommend. Also they were very easy to communicate with, answering all the questions I had prior to our wedding. Thank You!!
Fantastic set. The flute beat boxing pulled me in from way over the other side of the camp site. Couldn't quite believe it was live until close up. Greg Pattilo eat your heart out! Made my day, thanks for coming!
