Testimonials


 
We're just back from our honeymoon and I wanted to say a big thank you to the band for such an amazing performance!...Your performance was perfect, I couldn't have imagined anything better, you were extremely professional and the music and singing was incredible - a beautiful entertainment group that completed a perfect evening!
Groom, Marlow-on-Thames wedding, 2010
 
Down for the Count gave a great performance at the RAF Christmas Party. The arrangements for the band all went very smoothly, and the show on the night was first rate - the band even agreed to perform an additional set at short notice. They were virtually held hostage by the crowd until the end of their third encore! I’d have absolutely no hesitation in booking them again.
RAF Christmas party, 2010
 
Just a short email to say how much we enjoyed having Down for the Count at our party on Saturday. You were absolutely fantastic. Very nice people, very smartly dressed, very well organised and flexible, and you even learnt a song that we requested! We were so happy with the band and would thoroughly recommend you to anyone. You were absolutely great.
21st birthday party, Cheltenham, 2010
 
Thank you so much for making the party so enjoyable. All of our friends had a great time and several said "it was the best party ever"! They especially liked the music and were impressed by your repertoire and talent. We loved the jazz sets and I am sure you all noticed how many people were dancing to the soul set.
Anniversary party, Buckinghamshire, 2008
