Why people love FixTheMusic
The Old School 90s Band were simply brilliant...
The Old School 90s Band were simply brilliant. They recently played at our wedding and were the best band a couple could ask for. From the moment they were booked, Thom was pleasant, courteous and above all fun. On the day they set up quickly and seamlessly with no fuss at all. Then the set, it was incredible. The dance floor was full throughout and everybody complimented that this was the best band they’d heard at a wedding. Thank you so much to Thom, Alice, Nana, Connor, Kaveh and Dan...you were amazing. Love, Max & Lulu.
You were all amazing, please pass this on to each member of the band
Hi Mark, just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at both of our events. You were all amazing, please pass this on to each member of the band who played too. Everyone we have spoken to, have all said how professional and great the band were! Thank you for doing the additional final song, that really put the cherry on top of the cake for us! Both singers were absolutely fantastic too. We would definitely consider for the future and would recommend to anyone. Thank you again, Jacob, Sue and Max.
