“Dealing with The Band was an absolute pleasure – at every stage.  They responded to any query quickly and efficiently (which certainly set them apart from other bands we investigated).  They kept in contact all the way through from booking to the event.  Their website demonstrates how seriously Chris and the others take their business.  On the night they arrived, set up with no fuss, put on an amazing performance, played the music we wanted to hear in between their sets and made our ‘wedding do’ the ‘party’ we had wished for.  Thanks to all of you”

Carly and Wayne, Martock

“Our 1st dance with you guys!! We cannot thank you guys enough for how amazing you were! Everyone has been asking where we found you and I’ve heard nothing but compliments! You are truly fantastic!! Thank you Matthew for putting me in touch with them!! Having you guys as the duo while we were eating was perfect too! I’m your new number 1 fan!!”

Jo Dalby, Haselbury Mill

“We chose the band having seen them play at our friend’s wedding. They are a fantastic band and play a wide variety of music which is ideal for weddings and ensured the dance floor was heaving all night! They even accommodated our first dance song for us despite the short notice (sorry!) – and nailed it! In short; a perfect band! 

Joanna & Rob, Oldwalls Gower  

“Alex and I would just like to thank you for playing at our wedding!  We absolutely loved it and many of our guests commented on how good you all were too!  Oscar was particularly impressed!!  We just want to do it all again now!” 

Alex & Amy, Ilfracombe, Devon

“THANK YOU for adding to a wonderful night on Saturday 23rd April. Great music. Lots of feedback from guests saying you made the evening!” 

Martin Lenthall

 This band do the biz! They know what an audience wants and deliver it with style and energy. A fully professional and slick outfit, they can play just about any style with authority and panache. We all loved them at Exeter RWC2015 Fanzone and I would certainly book them again for any event that calls for a top-class band.”

Laura Wright, Rugby World Cup Fanzone organiser, Exeter City Council

“We had The Band at our kitesurfing armada festival this year. It was a fantastic gig, the crowd loved it, and they created exactly the right atmosphere for the festival. Everyone was singing along with their hands in the air, a brilliant night.” 

Dan Charish – Virgin Kitesurfing Armada, Hayling island
