"Absolutely FANTASTIC - they were GREAT!.

They were very professional - emailed regularly regarding contract, cost,deposit,schedule, song preferences - every little detail.

They arrived on time were very efficient at setting up and accommodating our request to surprise the Birthday girl on her arrival etc.

They got people up dancing and were generous to little toddlers who were joining in and even played a little longer.

Would definitely book them again

Thanks

Jackie"
