We wanted a band that had a great play list, had phenomenal voices and could keep everyone dancing all night! We got this and more!!! We all had the most amazing time and EVERYONE was on the dancefloor! The feedback from all our friends and family is a true testimony to how fantastic they are! We are literally thrilled that we booked them and can’t recommend them highly enough. Love Laura and Ged x”
