“The band were brilliant - very lively with a strong lead singer, good repertoire and brilliant, lively manner. They got everyone dancing almost immediately and several people got up to sing with them - which was great fun. The band were also very professional and accommodating. They were able to deal with some of the quirks of our venue and communicated regularly and effectively with us to choose songs and confirm the plan for the day. The band adjusted their schedule on the day to avoid interrupting our speeches and everything required so little effort from us that the day was very simple.”
