 “Sarah and I would like to thank you for playing at our wedding. You were all an absolute pleasure to deal with and were so professional.  You put on an absolutely wonderful evening (once my wife allowed you centre stage after her speech) and all our friends and family thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we have been showered with many positive comments.  Even villagers who weren’t at the event but could hear the performance have commented how much they enjoyed the entertainment.  We will definitely recommend you to our friends and colleagues and hopefully it won’t be too long before we can find another excuse to call upon your services.”

27 May 11 - "I wanted to say a big thank you for..."read more here

HARD TO HANDLE BAND recently performed at the wedding reception of Amy and David at Wharton Park golf and country club, Worcestershire. We provided a superb live band, complementary DJ-style music and a professional sound and lighting system.

Amy and Davids' wedding wasn't a huge a affair - approximately 100 guests - and they chose HARD TO HANDLE BAND because we are able to perform at smaller functions where a large band isn't appropriate.

What did Amy think of us? She very kindly emailed us to say:

"I wanted to say a big thank you for performing at our wedding! It was brilliant! As you hopefully noticed, you couldn’t get us off the dance floor! We enjoyed all the songs, especially our first dance - you really made it your own it, was better than the original! All our guests enjoyed themselves and were saying what a great band you are! We wish we could do it all over again – thankyou!”

HARD TO HANDLE BAND recently performed at the civil partnership ceremony of Tom and Duncan. Tom very kindly wrote to tell us:
