A massive thank you for the amazing performance on our wedding day! You lived up to our expectations in every way – superb musicians and fantastic performers. Our guests thought you were absolutely awesome and the full dance floor (all night!) was a reflection of this. Special thanks for going the extra mile and doing our first dance song...it was beautiful.

What an amazing night! You were fantastic on our wedding night at Hall Garth, Darlington, 21.8.09. The dance floor was packed all night and loads of people commented on how good you were. My sister really appreciated the opportunity to sing with you too. Also thanks to your drummer for saving the day with our first dance song!

Hi,
 
Just wanted to thank you and the band for a great performance at our wedding at Matfen Hall last weekend. We've had loads of people coming up to us and saying how great you were - and I believe at least one of our guests is interested in booking you for her wedding! We had a great time - and are grateful for your contribution towards making the whole day fantastic.
 
Good luck for the future!
 
Regards,
 
Mickey & Kelly Jachuck

Dave,

How remiss of me, not to say rude, in not writing to you regarding Joannes Wedding. Still, better late than never.

We had a fantastic day, one which will never be forgotten by all who attended. You and your band played no small role in that. You were absolutely superb and really contributed to a fabulous evening.

I want to especially thank you for allowing Claire to sing with the band. She has been having singing lessons for some time, but I was not sure how good she was, however she sang 'From this moment on' in church during the wedding ceremony, and I was in a bucket!!. For you to allow her to sing with the guys really made her day. I thought she did really well, but I am her Dad!!

Thanks again for a fantastic evening, everyone said how much they had enjoyed the bands performance. I would not hesitate to book you again or recommend you to others. I don't think you can beat 'live' music.

Kind regards

Ian

Hi Guys,
just been on your website, read your info and listened to your demos and I am very impressed with your sound. I'll do my best to keep this message brief because you know the reputation us women have for pratling on and I am no exception. Briefly I am a now a semi-pro vocalist searching for a talented group like yourselves. I worked professionally for several years in various band set-ups within the uk and abroad. I live in Richmond, North Yorkshire and wondered if you would possibly consider auditioning me. I don't currently have an up to date demo but hey isn't live best, but I can send you some photos if you are interested. I am a 5ft, 7 stone petite lady with loads of energy who loves performing. I would really appreciate it if you would consider what I've said. I very much look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Alison

Hi guys! I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to you for your amazing performance at our Prom last night. Everyone said how incredible you were! The dance floor was already packed, but when you played 'I Predict A Riot', I thought we were going to have to move tables to make more room! I will definitely be recommending you to the next year's prom committee Thank you so much.

We just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Dave and the band members for their outstanding performance. Loads of our guests told us how fab you were and the fact that I (The bride) didn't leave the dance floor all night reflects how fantastic you were. Sweet Child O' Mine was a big hit and Mr and Mrs Jones was sung brilliantly and got a big cheer from the crowd. You certainly put the cherry on the cake to a fab day.

Thank you and we wish you every success for the future. Don't loose the personal touch.
love Saj & Chris

A big thanks to the whole band for a fantastic performance at our wedding last weekend. Many people commented on how much they enjoyed the live music, you were just what we'd hoped for. Can't believe the most popular tune of the night was Living on a Prayer but there we go!
Thanks again, Milly and Terry

Martyn  Bullard 03 Jan 07 12:10:08

Jane  Brown 22 Dec 06 11:31:30
A huge thank you to you and the rest of the band for your performance last night at the Aquila Way Ball. You were fantastic!! Everyone we've spoken to has at some point mentioned how
good the live music was, and to get that many people up and dancing from the start was just amazing!
Thank you for helping to make the night so memorable!!

ronnie  lambert 13 Dec 06 18:46:41

Hope you forgave my sorry inebriated display at the Fox, I was well into a breakdown and didn't know it, but I'm better now. Best wishes 'dude'.Ron

Louise  Blight 15 Oct 06 10:06:38

Chris  Telfer 10 Mar 06 11:39:00
Hi fellas, just wondering when we can catch a freebe at the Magie Bank this year. After you entertained everyone at our wedding last June we are now ready for our next fix. Didn't realise this facility was available on the website or we would have left a message earlier - If you're looking for a LIVE band, you've just found them. These boys know how to entertain and everyone at the wedding had a fantastic night!!!

Can't wait to catch you again soon. Chris and Diane.

Danielle  Milgate 09 Jan 06 22:31:26

Leanne  Taws 20 Sep 05 17:04:08
I think the piano player is really sexy!!!!!!!

Uwe  Michael 02 Aug 05 22:56:17
In your band there is one of the best trombone player I ever heard. He is playing now better as he played some years ago in Germany. And this is not my opinion after some beers, I have known him a long time when he was a trombone player in the british Army in Germany. I wish him and his band all the best and a lot of work.

Red  T 22 Jun 05 12:36:22
Can't believe messages appear on the web site so quickly, and without censorship. That is just ######### amazing

Red  T 22 Jun 05 12:33:45
Just been browsing the site, I'm well impressed by the feedback you get these days.
Like to say thanks to those who come down to the Magnesia Bank to see the band and put their comments forward. Of course we have to thank all of the band for their continued support for the venue and look forward to your return in July.

Delight Full  Decor 12 Jun 05 17:15:33
