"The X-Rays provided an outstanding performance and a repertoire that struck a chord with every age group there...not easy!
Not only did they do excellent 'covers' of some cracking tunes, they made the songs their own and are all exceptional musicians.

"Hi Gemma,
Just arrived back, first day at work!
The X-Rays were amazing, we received great feedback from our guests, I didn't leave the dance floor all night and even Simon the Groom (with two left feet) did a good bit of dancing.
The X-Rays were professional, polite and really fun! Thanks for helping to make our day perfect.

"Dear James (and the X-Rays),
We are still on a massive high from our wedding yesterday and it's in large part due to your incredible performance. You wouldn't believe how many people came up to us, deliriously excited about hearing their favourite tracks covered so so so well, with such energy, talent and character.
Everyone had a blast and we really appreciate you carrying on the second set (the crowd wouldn't take no for an answer!) and helping us work out iPod timings. Believe me when I say that, if we ever need a band in the future, we won't settle for anyone other than The X-Rays.
Hope you got yourselves and the gear back all right and we wish you every success. We're off on honeymoon tomorrow, but do drop us a line if there's anything you need.
All the best and thanks again,
Kate and Faisul

"The X-Rays were talented musicians and engaging performers - our guests really loved them, as did we! They responded really well to our prior requests for songs, and also 'read' the event perfectly and played the right sorts of tracks to keep everyone dancing from beginning to end! Thank you very much for a great show!"

"The X-Rays were very professional, everyone who we have spoken to since the night said they really enjoyed the band and thought the music was excellent, we left the choice of music to them (which was a good decision). They certainly helped the night run smoothly and I would definitely use them again."
