“Hi Nick,
 
We would just like to say Thank you so much to The Magic Tones for the amazing music you played at our wedding on 10th November at Rhinefield House Hotel. It was just perfect!
The first dance was played and sung so beautifully and exceeded all of our expectations. Everyone got up and danced and were entertained throughout the whole evening, You certainly could not keep me off the dance floor, I absolutely loved it. 
So many people have said to us how brilliant you were and where did we find you! You are all very, very talented musician’s with such a wide repertoire to cater for all tastes. 
We cannot thank you enough, it was a truly magical evening. 
 
Please pass on our thanks to the whole band”

“Hi Nick,
Just a quick note to say a big THANK YOU for the band on Saturday, they were fantastic and exceeded all expectations…. far better than video clips on your website even!! Leanne’s voice was phenominal and everyone commented on how amazing and tight the band were and made complete an amazing weekend for us.
Hopefully you will get some work out of it as well as there were both people getting married in the future and people who have to organise gigs- wouldn’t be surprised if you get a call from The Pyramids in Portsmouth!!
If you ever gets public gigs please add to any mailing lists you may have…
Thanks again”

Everyone commented on how great they were. Great mix of songs. They really were fantastic, worth every penny, we loved it! We’d recommend them to anyone.”

I just wanted to say a big thanks to you and the band for playing on our big day on Saturday. It was such a pleasure dealing with you guys from start to finish.
The band themselves were amazing, excellent musicians and it was a really great selection of songs. They kept the dancefloor packed all night long (even my grandmother was dancing!)
Thanks again to the guys for letting other musicians use their equipment to play a song and that solo in Sweet Child of Mine was sick!

All the best to you and the guys!”

Just a little note to say a big thank you for such a great performance at our wedding reception! The band were fantastic and we were so pleased with how it all went.

Thanks again for everything, it was perfect”

For myself and Marcia, the performance was an absolute blast and was the best we could have hoped for – the choice of vocals, for the songs we had chosen, was brilliant and it was all over too quickly.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you again for yesterday – such a huge success!  Your band are awesome, and everyone truly enjoyed the opportunity to front them.  I was very pleased at how many of the guests participated, it was the perfect entertainment for our college garden party.  I am especially grateful that we could use your PA for the whole event – made the organisation much easier.  

It was a pleasure dealing with you and your band, and hopefully see you at another event soon (our porters were very impressed and will be getting in touch for their party!)

Cheers,

Anthony and the Caius MCR Committee”

“The news is all good! We’ve had nothing but fantastic comments from our guests, and the compliments are still coming in ‘where did you get them from – they were fantastic’ etc. Everyone I spoke to thought they played to the highest calibre, huge repertoire and the whole evening absolutely brilliant!

I found Nick to be extremely professional and pleasant – and certainly very flexible to our needs. He was able to deal with some last minute changes very efficiently.

It’s so important to get the music right at an event like this, and in choose Alive we certainly did – I’d have no problem recommending them to others.”

Chris and Emma Marston - Wedding (Cover Cats - Band), Shaw Hill Golf & Country Club, Lancashire

“Dear Nick,

Both myself and Emma wanted to thank Cover Cats for the fantastic performance at our wedding reception on the 14th May at Shaw Hill, Chorley. The band were fantastic and topped off an amazing day for us both. So many of our guests have told us how much they loved the band, and that they were by far the best wedding band that they had seen perform. The fact that the dancefloor was packed all through the sets was testiment to how much everyone loved the performance, and we would not hesitate to recommend the band or hire them again for any future events that we may be having. We hope the band enjoyed playing at our wedding as much as we enjoyed their performance (even though we did make them play two encores!), and would like to pass on our deep gratitude to the them all for helping to make our wedding day as fantastic as it was.”

Darren and Yanna Waters - Wedding (The Magic Tones - Band), De Vere New Place, Southampton

“We just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping make our wedding day special. Everyone commented on how good you were. You played our first dance note perfect and from that moment everyone was up on the dance floor until you finished. The last 20 minutes of your set went down a storm as you built up to the finale. The day went so quick and there is a lot to take in but you guys stood out as an exceptional feature of an all round superb day. We hope to be able to use you again in the future and will certainly recommend you to anyone who did not go to the wedding.”

Tim Muncaster - Wedding (The Magic Tones - Band), Rhinefield House, New Forest

“Having played in bands myself at hundreds of Wedding Receptions, I wanted something a bit special for my daughter’s big day. I found it in The Magic Tones! These guys were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They set up discretely and, when the time came, launched into non-stop music that had the floor full all night. The sound and volume were perfect and the standard of musicianship excellent. What’s more, they were great value for money! I would thoroughly recommend this band to anybody who wants a professional show for their special occasion.”

Ian and Ann Hoolahan - Wedding (Jazz Morley - Solo Pianist/Singer), Marwell Hotel

“Please can you pass on our thanks to Jazz for helping us have a fantastic evening, the music was exactly what we were after – even to finding some of the music we had suggested, that was not well known, and played in the interval. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jazz to anyone for their reception, not only was her music/talent first class, but she was a lovely person and a pleasure to meet.”

Dan and Helen – Wedding (The Magic Tones - Band), Cardiff

“Thanks (The Magic Tones) for being so brilliant at our wedding! We loved every minute of it, and you did a great job on the first dance! Everyone had such a good time, which I’m sure you could tell from the packed dance floor! The mix CD you put on at the end was great…”

Julia Hughes - Private Party (The Playlist - Band), Emsworth

“I booked The Playlist for a 50th Birthday Party with a range of guests of all ages. The music and the lead singer were absolutely excellent and got everyone on the dance floor for the entire evening. It made such a difference having a live band rather than just a disco and all our guests were very complimentary. Plus they are very professional and nice to deal with and without reservation I would recommend them”

Liz was a real winner on the night, she took hold of our guys by the scruff of the neck (almost literally ) and really got the crowd motivated!! Never before have I seen our dance floor so busy with people genuinely drawn into the music and the show that you guys put on. I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for something different to bring to an event.”

Sarah and Darren - Wedding Reception (The Magic Tones - Band), Wickham

Thank you so much for being so brilliant at the wedding bash. Loads of people commented on how good you sounded. You may also have noticed that the bride thought you were good too – only leaving the dance floor for a drink or the loo! Hope you have a good year in 2010.

Best Wishes”

Claire Guise - Wedding Reception (The Magic Tones - Band), Surrey

“Dear Nick, I just wanted to get in touch with you to say a big thank you to you and the rest of the band for providing such fantastic music for our wedding day on 3rd July at The Barn at Bury Court. You have been a real pleasure to deal with throughout and we thought you were fantastic – our guests really enjoyed your music too. I had loads of fun dancing for hours in spite of it being such a hot evening! We really couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. I hope you don’t mind that I have passed your details on to the venue owner, as they appreciate recommendations for future couples. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone else looking for a party/wedding band.”

Even just sorting out the night you were really helpful and very understanding, a pleasure to deal with!

I would recommend you to all my friends! In fact anyone who asked!

Thank you again,

Ewan”

Debbi Marco – Wedding (Live Karaoke Band), Essex

“I just wanted to say the band were great. They set up really quickly and were really senstive to everyone’s requests and needs. They were great professionally and also coped with the various levels of drunk people around them!

They made the night really fun and people haven’t stopped raving about it.

Thanks,

Debbi”

Heidi and Ian Pollington – Private Party (School Disco Band), Surrey

“Hi Nick

We should be thanking you… you were all brilliant!

I hope you had a good time. We certainly did! Lots of people commented on how good you were and how much you joined in the school disco theme, especially with the uniform.

The karaoke was great, loved the fact that there weren’t ridiculous amounts to choose from which takes all night to get people to decide and you were brilliant at pointing out where the hell we were in the words and encouraging by singing yourselves, but holding back when the person was on a roll!

We loved the sets you did, the last one really did finish on a high with Don’t Stop Me Now… was very emotional actually for a lot of people… start of the next era in our lives, nothing will stop us from trying to get the best out of life, etc. And we loved the arms swaying Hey Jude as an encore.

You were chilled, nothing seemed to phase you, and a lot of the men fancied your lead girl!

What more could a band provide?

Best wishes

Heidi and Ian”
