Hi there,
Just wanted to say a big big big thank you for playing at our wedding on 26th June at Guyzance Hall - the music was amazing and everyone commented on how great you all were.
Loads of people asked where we'd found you and had said that you were the best live band they had heard.
So big thank you again for making it a night to remember!
Hopefully see you at a party or one of our friends weddings in the future.

We would both like to say a big thank you to the band who played at our wedding on the 14th August 2010 at Newcastle Racecourse.
Everyone commented on how professional you all were and a fantastic range of song to suit all. You really did make the evening reception one to remember!
We would recommend you to anyone reading the guest book comments.
Thanks once again to you all. You were truly AWESOME!

Dear Dave,
I just want to tell anyone who is thinking of booking your band for their function not to even consider any alternative. My Son booked you for his wedding last Saturday August 14th at the Racecourse. You made a special day for him and his wife into a fantastic one ,long to be remembered by everyone present. you were quite simply FANTASTIC. The most professional live band I have heard at any private function, everyone is still talking about your performance, and personally it is the most I have danced in one night for years. Many many thanks for a memory which will live with me forever. You finished the entire event perfectly..

Hi Dave
Thank you so much for providing us with such excellent entertainment on Saturday! Everyone absolutely loved it! I really wanted a full dance floor and you managed to keep it full throughout so thank you so much, you were absolutely perfect for the kind of party we wanted it to be. We'd certainly recommend you to anyone, and if we ever have the need for a band again I know who we'd come to!
Thanks again,
Amy

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.

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

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

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.

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.
