5 stars - The Sidekicks are Highly Recommended
booked The Sidekicks for their event at The Tithe Barn in Hampshire

“Despite having some major issues with the band originally selected, Graham was very thorough in resolving the issue and incredibly helpful. We had a few complications with the payment method when the band arrived at the wedding, which would have been helpful to resolve earlier, but the band were fantastic and our guests loved them! They were also very flexible in learning our requested song, which they performed fantastically. Thanks v much.”
