"If you are thinking of booking this band then just DO IT!!! We had the most fantastic time and they entertained our 170 classic car club members until they literally could not dance anymore. The song choice was brilliant and the dance floor was completely packed. My memory of everyone singing 'Hey Jude' and holding hands at the end will stay with me for a long time. Totally awesome band!!!!!"
