They are worth every penny, they were professional, polite and very courteous. Richard took away all the stress and just sorted everything out and then emailed the confirmation etc. Lots of our guests commented on how great the band were and how much they enjoyed the music at our reception. What a talented bunch of musicians this band are, they created a fantastic atmosphere and got everyone up dancing (including my father in law who has never ever at any family function ventured onto the dance floor).
