DAVID AND TRISH McGEE - 10th April 2008

Hi Charlotte,

We would just like to say a huge thank you to you and the rest of the band for the excellent performance you all gave at our evening wedding reception at Beamish Hall on Saturday 22nd March 2008. We were hugely impressed not only with the performance of the band but how professional and efficient you were, which enabled us to enjoy the evening without any worries. Many of our guests have commented how much they enjoyed the atmosphere the band generated during the reception and we were particularly pleased with the variety of music you played and the way you involved and encouraged our guests to dance and even join you on stage singing!!

We will have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend you to freinds and family and if we ever require a band in the future we know where to come!!

We look forward to seeing you again at a local venue and would like to wish the band all the very best for the future.

Thanks again,

David and Trish McGee

GAYNOR BAKER - 18th May 2008

Dear Grooveline,

I am writing to thank you for your performance at our charity ball in aid of Macmillan and The Bubble Foundation at the Stadium of Light, and the contribution you made to make this year’s event a success. We felt the variety of music you played was perfect for the event; the performances were really special and the lead singer’s stamina unbelievable.

The music got everyone up dancing and without your performance I don’t think the event would have had anywhere near the atmosphere it did have.

I have already passed on your details to a couple planning their wedding later in the year and would recommend Grooveline to anyone holding a similar event without reservation, as you exceeded our expectations.

Yours sincerely,

Gaynor Baker

Just back from my honeymoon and writing thank you letters – one of which will be winging it’s way to you. But just wanted to write a quick email to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You and your team were brilliant. And lovely.

I had such a happy day and you guys really were part of it.

Anyway will drop a proper line but just wanted to say thanks and hello!

"We were delighted with the Grooveline on the 5th - they went down really well with our guests and I think that we could have all danced to them all night. Thank you so much for all your help in booking them for us."

CHRIS SLATER - 20th August 2008

Hi Grooveline,

Just like to say a massive thank you for the superb performance at the Pulman Volkswagen Summer Party 2008. A thoroughly professional function band, we couldn't have asked for more.

We were delighted with the band, and having booked for a second time we would love to have you back for our Christmas Party!

KATE WHITE - 20th August 2008

Firstly we would like to say a big thank you for such a great performance, you were absolutely fantastic!!! You played exactly the right sort of music that got everyone on the dance floor and even put up with the drunken guests (and groom) steeling the mic from time to time (Sorry about that!!!) Also, thank you so much for getting the wireless mic for the lead singer and yourself Charlotte to play amongst the crowd – we thought it was great (Hope you did too!) We have had so many comments from friends and relatives saying what a great job you did……..I’ve also passed your CD onto a few of my friends who are getting married soon so I’m sure they’ll be in touch. Finally, not only were you great on the night but you were also perfect in the run up to the wedding. As you know yourselves, your wedding day is very special and you just want everything to go perfectly – you made the booking, organizing timings, song requests etc a very stress free, smooth and professional process so thank you very much!!

We’d like to wish you all the very best.

Best wishes

Mr & Mrs White x

ABIGAIL AND PAUL BORROWDALE - 1st September 2008

What a fantastic band, everyone kept saying in the run up to the wedding, take stock and look around you…. every time I did the dance floor was packed! So many of our guests have commented on the band even the people with two left feet were breaking up the dance floor. Extremely professional- looked sounded and completely were the part.

LOUISE AND DAVID WILLIAMS - 3rd September 2008

Hi Kevin and Charlotte!

Firstly, I just wanted to say a huge massive 'THANK YOU' from myself and Dave. You were absolutely fantastic. Choosing a band is such a difficult task but I am so so happy that we chose yourselves to play at our wedding. From the very beginning, you were nothing but helpful. It was so nice to know that, having planned your own wedding, you had the answers to all my questions and were happy to chat. It makes such a difference, some bands are pushy and overpriced but you were just fantastic from the start. No pressure at all and so friendly. I had people coming up to me all night and loads of people have said since how brilliant they thought you were. The dance floor was filled all night and the set list was excellent. Extra special moments were when the saxophonist and singer joining us on the dance floor, (all the guests commented), the two song encore you did when everyone begged you to carry on and learning our first dance for us. That just made it even more special for us. I'm really glad you accepted our offer to join us for a drink afterwards, I'm just sorry I didn't get to talk to you more. I think a good testimony to how good you are is the fact that my Dad was on the dance floor for a large portion of the night and I have never seen him dance before!! We're having a party back home this weekend and he said what a shame it was that we hadn't booked you for that, which is praise indeed! Everyone that was there asked about you with future parties in mind so I really hope you get a few more gigs for our friends and family as we would love to go to more events that you're playing at!

To sum up, I am over the moon that we decided you were the band for us, and if anyone's wavering and unsure of a band to go for, for any event, I would wholeheartedly recommend yourselves. Absolutely brilliant night, fantastic set and I only wish I could go back and do it all again!! Hope people don't think I've paid you but I feel you deserve every word of praise.

Huge huge thanks for making our wedding extra fabulous,

(Reference to performance 10.8.08, wedding @ Nunsmere Hall, Cheshire)

MIKE AND LIZ McGURK - 10th September 2008

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for providing the entertainment at our wedding on 26th July 2008 at Gisborough Hall. You were fantastic! The dance floor was packed all night by both the young and old and a good time was had by all. We have lost count of the number of people commenting on how great you were and have passed your details on to a few friends. We wouldn't hesitate to book you again. Thank you!
