About / Biography

Please read our genuine reviews and see our crowd shot pictures from previous performances. We put our heart and souls into every performance and guarantee you will not be disappointed.

"The videos of these guys really don't do them justice. If we could capture the magic and memories they created on our wedding day for all to see they would be booked everyday for the next ten years. We booked them for our wedding breakfast and evening entertainment and could not have asked for a better band. Absolutely perfect. If you are looking for entertainment that will keep your guests talking then don't hesitate to book these guys. They go out of their way for even the strangest requests and get everyone involved in such a fun and relaxing way. I never thought I'd see my Great Grandma rocking a cow bell. Don't look around for a better band because you won't find one, we are just looking for another excuse to book a party so we can have them back" (Mr & Mrs Murphy)
