""Joel & Ben provided the entertainment at my 50th birthday party, which was a black tie event in a boutique hotel. The boys arrived early, were well prepared and were setup in no time.
As well as being talented & skilled musicians, they read the crowd well and were truly fantastic. Both on the night and in the days following, everyone was raving about Joel & Ben. I unreservedly recommend them"" - Richard"
