Jennifer C booked The Long Lost Cousins for their event in West Yorkshire
“The Long Lost Cousins were fantastic and the feed back from my guests has been all positive not one negative. My partner thought they were the best and said that they played all his kind of music. Well that was my plan anyway, he said he had the best night ever. I would not hesitate in recommending the band to anyone. They turned up on time were very professional, polite and smartly dressed. As for any improvement I don`t think you can improve on the band as they are just so very good, my partner and I said we would pay to go and listen to them as would some of our friends. I found your agency and The Long Lost Cousins by searching the net for a band that played their kind of music. Looking and finding what I wanted was easy. I went over budget for the band that I wanted and it paid off and as for ratings, I would give 10 out of 10. I would definitely use your agency again the service you provide was really good. So thank you for providing a great service. Kind regard...”

Debbie booked The Long Lost Cousins for their Wedding in West Yorkshire
“Thanks Clare Yes, the day went well and the band were fine. They were good for a wedding as there is always such a mix of ages and they played a lot of 60s and rock and roll which was good for everyone to dance to. They also learnt 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds'(bride's name was Lucy!) which was good of them. All in all a good experience booking with you. Would certainly come back to you again if the need arises and recommend you! Best wishes, Debbie”

Matthew booked The Long Lost Cousins for their event in West Yorkshire
“James, We just wanted to say that we thought the Long Lost Cousins were excellent and really surpassed our expectations. They played the songs that we wanted and the vocal harmonies and overall tightness of the group were spot on. A number of our guests who are musicians also commented on how good the band were and hopefully we will hear them again in the future. Matthew & Shelley.”

JOHN booked The Long Lost Cousins for their event
“Thank you so much for a wonderful evening’s entertainment on Saturday. We had heard good things about you beforehand so we had high expectations for the band. But you actually surpassed them easily. It was a great selection of songs that you played, ideal for the mixed bag of ages that we had there. I doubt there are many bands out there that would even attempt a Roy Orbison ballad but your singer pulled that off brilliantly. Loved all the Elvis & Buddy Holly stuff too. We also very much appreciate that you had done your research and played “All or Nothing.” We have to confess that neither of us had any idea that it had been number 1 on our wedding day, probably too many other things going on at the time! All the same, it was a lovely thought and one that we will not forget. There’s a definite booking for you in 2016 for our 50th.”
