We had these boys playing at out wedding evening reception earlier This month.. ( 6/8/17)
There is only one word - FANTASTIC !!!
They had me and our guests on the dance floor from the minute they started to play to the last sound of their instrument!
Their songs choices are fantastic, Matt's voice is incredible - if you want the real entertainment at your wedding, don't look no further.
Wedding band worth every penny!
Thank you so much Matt for making our wedding reception the one to remember xx
