Reviews
Leading Edge Communications (Dec 2010)
"John, I would just like to thank you for playing at the Leading Edge Communications Christmas function on Saturday night. The feedback from our team on your band has been all good! You guys were brilliant!! I must say, out of the 800 photos taken that night, most were of people having a ball on the dance floor."
Wedding (March 2011)
"Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special! You're both so talented! The music played at our wedding was exactly as we requested and our Isle song was amazing. Our guests all enjoyed the fantastic music in the nice setting in Cornwall park. It was also great to work with John as he was a pleasure to deal with in organising our wedding day. Once again thanks so much for a great day!"

Adecco Personnel Limited (Dec 2010)
"We had Bring in the Band play at our Christmas function in December 2010. There were approximately 60 people in the group of varying ages and roles. John and the band played a selection of music through out the night that not only suited the mood but met the expectations of the group. They were very professional in their approach to the evening and we would not hesitate in using them again or recommending them. They have a fantastic selection of music to draw from and can read the crowd well as moderate the music to suit."
