Testimonials

Just a quick note of thanks for an excellent performance on Saturday night - I've had the best feedback ever for a band appearing at the RS Hall and we would love you to appear again in the future; The general consensus was that you were the most 'danceable act we have had. So many bands are "heads down -playing for themselves" - no funk(baby).
Nick Brown - Tadcaster

Please pass on my thanks to Pete and the band.
