Hi Mike, Just a short email to say how much we enjoyed having The Get Downs at our party on Saturday. You were absolutely fantastic. Very nice people, very smartly dressed, very well organised and flexible, and you even learnt a song that we requested! We were so happy with the band and would thoroughly recommend you to anyone. You were absolutely great. Thanks very much.

Hi Mike, I just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you and your band members for the excellent music we received for my special birthday celebration dinner on 7th November at the Carriage House Restaurant. Without exception, all my guests were impressed with the quality and professionalism of your band. I have received lots of compliments - all of which you certainly deserve. The evening went without a hitch and we could have all danced on for hours and hours!! My thanks again for helping to make the musical entertainment part of a memorable evening. I will certainly recommend you to anyone who is looking for high quality music for a special event.

Hi Mike Thank you for Saturday, Kate and Michael said when they returned from church it was just idyllic to hear you playing.

Thank you so much to you both for making it a truly special party on Saturday. Stuart and I really appreciated how hard you both worked to produce such a relaxing and perfectly pitched atmosphere.

Hi Mike, After our wedding last week we wanted to write to thank you and the band for your fantastic performance. We both had a brilliant day, as did our guests, and The Get Downs were a vital part of it, creating the perfect atmosphere. All three of the sets were spot on and really kept the night buzzing right through to the end of the party. So many people have commented on how much they loved both the music and the dancing and it will certainly live long in our memories. Thanks also for letting us plug in our laptop, use your mics and for being so accommodating and flexible with our timings for the evening which went a bit off schedule. Thanks again for helping to make our wedding party so special.

Well, what a fabulous evening!! Thank you so much for making the party so enjoyable. All of our friends had a great time and several said "it was the best party ever"! They especially liked the music and were impressed by your repertoire and talent. We loved the jazz sets and I am sure you all noticed how many people were dancing to the soul set. Please pass on our thanks to the band and especially to you for your hard work and energy - you should get some follow on gigs from the rave comments I heard.

Dear Mike, Sarah and Jami are, of course, on honeymoon. However I couldn't wait until they return to send our own thank-you for your fantastic music at our daughter's wedding last Saturday. You were absolutely perfect and really hit the spot getting all ages on the floor - from age four to ninety! We will highly recommend you.

Hi Mike, I thought I would email you to thank you for your brilliant performance at our wedding. We both thought you were fantastic and really helped finish the day off with some outrageous dancing! Thank you as well for being so flexible and accommodating with your equipment so that we could play as well, it made everything much easier!! When we were planning the wedding, my father didn't think that we needed a band and wanted to have a disco set up but I am so pleased that I persevered. He is now eating his words and is glad that I persevered too! Well, If I ever need a band booked in the future of if anyone needs a band recommended, I will definitely come back to you.

To Mike and all the guys in The Get Downs, Well, we're back from our honeymoon now; and we'd both like to really thank all of you for helping to make our wedding such a fantastic day. The music was perfect from the first dance to the last - even if our dancing didn't quite do it justice! Everyone had so many great things to say about you, and were unanimous in your praise. The only downside was that it had to end!

I have absolutely no qualms in recommending The Get Downs to anyone wishing to have a fantastic band for their wedding/event. Mike was fantastic, helping us pick out our songs and arranging the schedule for the day. Every guest congratulated us on the wonderful performance. To all members of the band, you were brilliant!

I can honestly say that having the band play at our event was the highlight of our evening. From the moment we contacted them about a quote to the end of the evening they were always happy to work around our needs which took the pain out of the organising! Their flexibility, professional attitude but above all, their fantastic performance was exactly what we were looking for. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any event where you want to provide that 'something special' for your guests.

The Get Downs played at one of my oldest friend's weddings last week - the best wedding I've ever been to, and the band played a huge part in that! We all rushed to the dancefloor and didn't leave. The music pleased all age groups, which is just what you want on these occasions, and the band looked like they really enjoyed being there too. I've stored them in the memory bank to recommend to others - talented, professional, slick, fun!

Thanks for providing the music on Sunday - we found it very enjoyable. Please pass my best wishes to other members of the band and good luck in the future!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for your assistance with the client conference on the 29 November 2006. We have received highly positive feedback from both our client and her senior managers for this event. Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the band. We look forward to working with you in the future. The band were great - our clients loved them!

A trio of piano, bass and saxophone from The Jazz Essentials played at my 60th birthday party in July this year and they were excellent entertainment. The quality of the playing and the choice of music was top class. Many people at the party commented on how much they enjoyed the music. I would certainly recommend this band for any function - they were great!
