They were totally brilliant! It was a truly great day, and was finished off in real style with Hipster who were complete professionals and seemed like really nice guys as well! As we'd arranged before hand with them, they accommodated the relatively restricted space requirements of the venue with no problems at all. They took us running over an hour late completely in their stride, and set up with minimum fuss and hassle. We were sorry we ran late with dinner as it meant we had to leave just before the very end of their set, and we didn't want to miss any of it! It went too fast! But the rest of our friends and family apparently begged Hispter to play an encore (which they did!). They played a really great selection of songs, all performed superbly - everyone was up and dancing from the first song onwards, and it made for a really great and lively party! I hoped I'd end my wedding night hot and sweaty with my clothes hanging off, and it was the band that started the process (dancing related!)! Cheers lads! My concerns about booking them on the strength of the demo tracks were all completely mis-placed as they were even better live. Lots of people have commented on how good they were, and I'd definitely recommend them, especially to people who want to remember their party as being one of the best they've ever been to - which we will! Thanks again for your help, and to the band - would be more than happy for you to put some of this on the website if it helps! Cheers, Steve Harley.” Read more

We all thought you were absolutely fantastic and I haven't enjoyed myself so much in years. You made the evening go with a wonderful swing and it ended with a delightful flourish. We are most genuinely grateful. Perhaps Alive network can use this in promoting Reels On Wheels in the future. Yours Sincerely John and Vicky Winchester 22nd March 2003" TO ALIVE NETWORK: Dear Lucy, Everything went like a dream and I haven't enjoyed myself so much for years. Reels On Wheels were excellent and Mick Bailey was absolutely reliable. It was important and reassuring from my point of view to have the earlier contact with Mick and to establish some sort of rapport.... Thank you very much for arranging it all for us. We are extremely grateful. Kind regards Victoria Winchester” Read more

They got everyone dancing immediately and sounded terrific. They were professional and friendly and made our evening reception everything we hoped it would be. They are a great band and their CD does not do them justice! The whole experience was first rate. So thank you again for providing us with such a great band. We would not hesitate to recommend them in the future. ” Read more
