Down for the Count performed at our wedding in 2019, and they were incredible. From our enquiry to the night itself, communication was clear and friendly. The band were so fantastic, and played a brilliant selection of songs which we were able to choose some of specifically. We got so many positive comments about them from our guests. I would thoroughly recommend them!

Thank you very much to you both for doing such a great job last night. It was lovely to have you playing for our guests again and you are getting lots of rave reviews.
Sorry I didn’t get a chance to say good night but hope to see you again soon.
Thanks you all so much for providing such amazing music and entertainment on our wedding day. It was always an essential that Down for the Count were part of our day (the date was even picked after making sure you guys were available!), because we both love you and we wanted to share your awesomeness with our guests. The dancefloor was never empty - showing how right we were - and everyone had the best time. Thank you so much!
Thank you also for allowing me to sing with you - it was a definite highlight of my day and surprised a lot of people.
Dear Mike,
Thank you so much for performing at our wedding. It was such a special and memorable part of our day. Hannah has the most amazing voice!
You were all superb and everyone said how brilliant it was to have such a high quality band with so much talent.
Very best wishes
Down For The Count were the perfect swing band for our wedding celebration. They added a Solid as a Rock to their repertoire for the night for our first dance, and Mike called a great Snowball to get everyone on the floor. We switched up the second set to Soul and Motown to get everyone on the floor, which was very well received.
Mike was super professional organising everything, replying to any questions incredibly quickly and making sure it was a stress free experience. We'd certainly recommend Down To The Count for anyone seeking the full vintage experience.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the band for Saturday night at Salcey.
We had the happiest day and the party in the evening was terrific helped by your gang and wonderful singer who got everybody on the dance floor.
I will definitely recommend you to any friend who may be looking for a swing band.
Please pass on my thanks to the band for Sunday's performance. It was exactly the right tone for brunch and the guests really enjoyed having some music as they ate. Thanks again for being so flexible with the date change.
Thank you SO MUCH for playing for us on Saturday. Everyone absolutely loved it and kept commenting on what a fab band you are. We are so grateful - it really made our day!
I’m sorry I didn’t really get a chance to chat to you much or the band members on Saturday, but please extend my thank you and tell them they’re awesome!

The Get Downs were amazing! They have a wide musical repertoire and so can tailor it to your taste and also on the night to people's mood. They arrived and set up punctually and with no fuss whatsoever. They were hugely energetic and fun. I was so happy with them!
"We cannot recommend Down for the Count enough - they set the tone for a fantastically fun wedding party and got all of our guests up and dancing for the whole night. They are brilliant at blending high energy party starters with more mellow jazz for a cocktail reception.
The whole team were simply a joy to work with from start to finish and made all of the organisation and logistics so simple and easy. We are really grateful to Down for the Count for their creativity, professionalism, flexibility, and hard work.
Thank you for making our wedding party one to remember!"

Hi Mike,
Rob and I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the band for the music at our wedding! They were phenomenal and super talented, and everyone loved them. It was amazing to see everyone on the dance floor at the end of the night! We also loved the vintage covers - thank you for suggesting that.
We loved working with you and found the whole experience from booking the band to the wedding day really professional. You were so helpful and responsive - thank you so much!
We are going to see Down for the Count at Ronnie Scott’s and will definitely keep following you guys! With all best wishes.
