Testimonials

I would like to thank you for supplying us with a first class act for my daughter's wedding reception on Saturday 26th September 2009. Itchy & Scratchy were brilliant.

When my daughter booked them, at first I was a little dubious because there were only two of them and I wondered what they would sound like in a marquee. I needn't have worried, because we loved them. Our guests were on their feet dancing right from the start. The sound was rich and powerful and they were very professional. They had great personalities and were thoroughly nice guys. The feed back from our guests was all positive and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Regards

Gillian Goodchild-Dyer


The band (Itchy & Scratchy) were great yesterday... great music and gave the event a great party atmosphere. Can we have the band at future events?

Dear Aaron

Just wanted to send a note to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding on 15th September.
You and James did a magnificent job and so many people were asking how we found you and were telling us how fantastic you were.
You kept my netball team happy with the songs that you played and they are pretty fussy!!! It was a wonderful day and evening.
Please pass on our thanks to James and we will come and seeyou again in the Walkabout for definite!

Good luck for the future and best wishes.
