Just a quick note to let you know quite how good this band are. They made the evening. Seriously.

We had 150 people from all over Britain (and a few other places too) descend on a little valley in Wales for our wedding on September 13th. It was a wonderful day and that was before the evening's entertainment started. Then it just got better.

The Kids were quite amazing. Every cover that they did sounded EXACTLY like the real version; the Killers, the Strokes, etc and they turned our dancefloor into a scene from a festival. Everyone who was there commented that they were extra special and can't believe that they are a wedding band available to hire. Watch this space, because they won't be for long.

To top it off, their administration was also perfect. The way Nick got in contact with us to decide songs, let us know they were on their way, make sure that they had adequate electrical support, and all the other bits that are necessary to make the night great was spot on. A very well managed bunch of guys. Nick is a great person who we look forward to supporting in the future at their gigs in london, etc.

"The Kids: 5/5

It's hard to describe just how brilliant The Kids were for our wedding.

I'll start by saying that they were friendly, professional and very helpful in the lead up to our wedding. The band were willing to travel all the way to Cornwall, do 4 sets, including 2 acoustic, instead of 2 (total nearly 4 hours playing), and went into the studio to learn over 30 new songs for our big day. That is dedication.

The music on the day was brilliant beyond all expectations. I was pleasantly surprised to see that The Kids are all proper musicians, and had sheet music to read from rather than just learning the chords. The result was pitch perfect music, and versions of songs that were in many cases better than the originals!

Music was crucial to my wife and I for our big day, and the set The Kids performed was so amazing that its one of our overriding memories. It had everyone singing, everyone crying to the slow songs, everyone dancing to floor fillers. In many ways it has become the soundtrack for our lives. I will finish by saying that nearly every card we received afterwards said that 'that was the best wedding we have ever been to, and that was by far the best band'. We are so very grateful for The Kids helping make our wedding such a special day."
