Just wanted to say how pleased we were with Page28 at our wedding last weekend. They created a lovely atmosphere for the day. It was unfortunately cold so we didn’t quite get the dancing and party going as we would have hoped. So many people commented on how good they were and I think you will probably get a couple more bookings for them as a result.
Just want to thank you for arranging another fantastic band for our Christmas function on Saturday night. Everyone thought they were great and they managed to get everyone up dancing. All had a really good time.
