"Our ‘first dance’  was magical"
Hi Brian What a fabulous wedding night we had on 2 September  thanks to your wonderful band.  The music was just what we wanted for our wedding and the mix of songs certainly encouraged guests of all ages to get onto dance floor.  My elderly uncle was struggling with a stick on arrival at the wedding but by 9:00pm he was dancing like never before.  Thanks so much to all the band - totally lovely guys. Thanks especially to you Brian for all your efforts and time put in to make sure we had the songs we wanted.   Our ‘first dance’  was magical and something that we will never forget.  You are an exceptionally talented group and we hope to see more of you all at the local gigsTo anyone planning a wedding, party or event  - do not hesitate to book the band and quickly!

"we definitely made the right choice."
 Felicity Wiseman                          September 4th Brian........Many thanks for the excellent performance from yourself and your band at our wedding in the All Saints Rooms on 4th September. All our guests said what a fantastic time they had and how brilliant they thought the band were.We picked you from previous personal recommendations without having heard you play and we definitely made the right choice. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others. Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the band. Many thanks Jon and Sarah

" band was fantastic"
Brian, Thank you very much for playing at our wedding, the band was fantastic and everyone really enjoyed themselves. You helped to create such a wonderful atmosphere and you got everyone up dancing. All our guests said how great the music was and I have passed your details onto some friends who are getting married next year. Thanks again. All the best Andy and Becky.

Swingthing are AWESOME.
Hi Brian, we're back from our honeymoon and just wanted to give you a some feedback from our wedding evening. Swingthing are AWESOME. They were the ultimate crowd-pleaser at our wedding, everyone was up and dancing within minutes. Each member of the band is fantastic- we are musicians ourselves and apt to be critical but we could find no fault with any of them. They played a brilliant range of music from swing and jazz to Beatles and Take That covers. Excellent vocals and they showed their experience by making the evening's entertainment go without a hitch. If ever we get married again - they'll be there! Needless to say when talking about the wedding with guests all they say is 'what a fantastic band.' Just to say a huge thanks again, you were truly brilliant.

"Brian is a true professional musician."
Brian is a true professional musician. Although I have only had the pleasure to perform with him a small number of times I still had the opportunity to see a great musician play. I have seen him play at a number of weddings with his band and they have always made the event perfect for the happy couple and their guests
