We would both like to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding on August 7th 2011 at Charlton House, Somerset. You were all very friendly, patient when the timings over ran and you are all very talented musicians indeed! We have received many positive comments from our guests saying how amazing the vocals were and it was obvious from the amount of people dancing the whole night that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thank you so much, we will definitely recommend you to others!

-Jenna and Tristan Finn

Hi Jamie

I hope you are well
I received your details from Cadbury House as I attended a Christmas
function there last year and thought you guys were amazing.
I personally work for Marriott Hotels and knew that your sound and vibe
were in a laegue of their own - you don't often get to hear bands such
as yours that manage to integrate their audience so much!

'' Dear Jamie

I wanted to drop you a line to ask you to pass on my very big thanks to
the band. They were brilliant, and many people commented on how good
they were. And it was great to see so many people on the dance floor!
I really hope that everything worked out with the parking and the meals
with the College and that everything was in order with the cheque.

Thank you so much again!

Best regards

Susannah '' July 2010

Rador seemed to enjoy themselves too. Please pass on our thanks to

"We had RADAR playing at our wedding last Saturday (15th May 2010) and we just wanted to thank you for your help in arranging it. We had some initial problems getting a band booked if you recall but things definately worked out for the best as they were brilliant. Their set list was great, they were friendly, enthusiastic and everyone we have spoken to since has told us they thought they were great. It really made the evening and I would have no hesitation in recomending them to anyone else thinking of hiring a band."
Many thanks
