"The Hot Shots really were one of the best Bands we’ve ever seen at Cripps Barn. As a wedding barn averaging over 130 weddings a year, we do as you can imagine, see quite a lot of bands. They have a very high level of skill, both vocally and instrumentally and this was clearly made apparent with the captivation of the guests during their set. They did a great range of covers and really got the crowd dancing. They were very professional, friendly and flexible which are all very important attributes when dealing with the logistics of a wedding. Top quality performance all round!" - Charlie Bull - Cripps Barn

"The Hot Shots were absolutely amazing!! They completely made our wedding. The guys were relaxed, fun and hugely entertaining, I cannot express how fantastic they were, from getting up at some ridiculous time in the morning to drive all the way to Devon in time to sound check before guests arrived, to playing way beyond the time we had planned for. Just fantastic. Thank you to Rob and the guys for making our wedding the most memorable and fantastic day ever."
