HARD TO HANDLE band receive many kind comments from satisfied clients – via email, phone, and sometimes via letter. Here are a few recent examples:
“Both myself and Liz just wanted to send you a quick email before we jet off on our honeymoon.
I have to say I can’t stress how brilliant the guys were at our wedding at the Pines Hotel, Chorley.
The dance floor was busy all night, and everyone who attended the wedding was very complimentary…in fact at the end of the night there was a queue for business cards by our guests. They made it very personal and very special and they were a perfect part of a day we will never forget.
The acoustics and vocals during the actual ceremony and the wedding breakfast was second to none, everything they did was exactly how we imagined, The hotel duty manager was also impressed and said they were a fabulous band.
So let me thank you once again for your absolute professionalism and a very accomplished band. And I will certainly be recommending you in the future.
Send our best regards to the guys!”
Greg and Liz Cronshaw

3 August 09 - Getting married overseas?
A growing number of couple are deciding to tie the knot overseas. The relaxed pace of life, beautiful surroundings and of course better weather are all part of the attraction of getting saying "I do" in foreign climes.
But surely the chances of finding a UK wedding band who will travel to your chosen location are slim? There's the distance, the transportation of equipment to consider; not forgetting the cost...
Having recently returned from performing at wedding receptions in France and Germany, HARD TO HANDLE band are more than happy to hear from you!
