We went to a wedding fayre in Swansea, and We were waking around and then all of a sudden we could hear some music (thinking it was a cd or radio or something), as we got nearer, we could see this band playing, they were absoloutely amazing! The way they were dressed, the amp, the sound and style of music was just out of this world. They kept in regular contact before the wedding, turned up in plenty of time, they were extremely professional. They set up the equipment and everyone was just waiting in anticipation, then, as expected they just started playing some fantastic 'classics' that everyone knew and loved, even my grandparents were dancing! Everyone has commented since saying they were the best band they'd ever seen live. I am a massive fan of Bruce Springsteen, and for me to watch another band and be impressed, then that says it all! If your debating hiring this band for your wedding, just do it! Not to mention they done the dj in between live sets included in the price!
Thank you guys for your contribution on our big day! You defnietly made it what it was!

If I could give more stars I would! Fantastic band and fantastic service. Did our wedding April last year and people are still talking about them. Can't thank you guys enough for the entertainment you gave to our guests. Dance floor was full all night with some family members busting moves I never knew they had! Fancy a second round on our anniversary?! xxx
