Testimonials
"Hi Koser, Thank you so much for the fantastic perfomance and for getting everyone up dancing - there were a lot of people with aching legs the next day - in fact is was the most exercise that some of them have done in a long time! I will definitely recommend you to friends and colleagues. Please pass on our thanks to the whole band! Best wishes, Becky"
Rebecca Stoddart, 25th Anniversary Conference, National Health Education Group, Derby - MAR 2010
"Hi Koser, Thanks so much for Saturday. We were absolutely thrilled with the band and our guests had a ball! We were looking at the photos from the evening and guests of all ages got up and danced, and danced all night! The songs you played were great and resulted in a (slightly drunken) dance-off between Andy's university friends and my Uncle winning an impromptu air guitar competition (I didn't know he had it in him!).Everyone said how great the music was and the chants of 'more, more, more' at the end of the set pretty much summed that up! Andy and I agree that booking the band was one of the best decisions we made about the day...It really was a great way to round things off...we will be recommending you the next time anyone is planning a big party :-) Many thanks once again and warmest regards!"
Andy & Melanie Fraser, Wedding Reception, Moxhull Hall, Sutton - FEB 2010
‘’The Stunt Doubles have become the ‘resident band’ for our annual UK conference, appearing in Scotland to the South coast. They are guaranteed to pack the dance floor from the first number to their encore, and they are such great people to work with.’’
Janet (UK pharmaceuticals PLC), Hilton Metropole, Birmingham - DEC 2009
Hi, Amy and I have just returned from our honeymoon. Thank you so much for the music during the wedding. Everyone had a fantastic time and we've had many comments about how much everyone enjoyed the band. I hear that you had a few people up singing, which I would have liked to see! Take care and thanks again for being so good!
Mark & Amy, Wedding Reception, Bucks - Nov 2009
Koser, Thank you! It was brilliant to have you play at the party... You are all so talented... wish I could sing and play like that. I said on the night (sorry was a bit tipsy!) how many comments I had from the guests on how good you guys were. You were brilliant with the guests and creating an atmosphere, and I cannot overstate how I have never seen my uncle get up and dance in all my 31 years, everyone remarked on the same thing the next day! Please pass on my thanks to the lads too. If I ever get married, I'll hope to see you again! Take care of yourselves!
Lisa, Dads 50th Birthday Party, Stafford - OCT 2009
Katy and I would just like to say a HUGE thank you for playing at our wedding. The band went down a storm and everyone has commented on how good you were. We had such a great day which was made even better by having a full dance floor all evening.I must say an extra thank you for adlibing the first dance after I messed up the CD recording of it. It was very impressive and I would have been in real trouble with Katy if you hadnt picked it up! Hope to see you perform again soon. Please let us knw if you do any public gigs and we'll be sure to come along and see you. Thanks again for putting in such an amazing performance. Besh wishes!
Ed & Katy, Wedding, Conwy - AUG 2009
Thank you so much for last night, it was a huge success. It was nice to finally meet you after all the emails! You and the band were absolutely fantastic and you really did add the finishing touch to what was a truly amazing day. You actually managed to sound even better live than you did on your MP3's and everyone has said you made the evening do really come alive. Sorry about uncle Paul but the impromptu open mic session did help. You have our eternal gratitude and I'll be recommending you to everyone I know. Thanks again and best wishes
Ben & Amy Robinson, Wedding, Halifax, July 2009.
Hi, thank you so much for playing at our wedding and for helping to make our day so special. The band were truly AMAZING! Everyone thought you were all brilliant and you certainly got the party started. It was fantastic to see everyone up dancing, enjoying themselves. Many of the guests were (and still are) asking for your details, so you may have a few requests to play at future events!! I'd definitely recommend the band - you are true professionals, we could have danced to you all night!! Thank you once again.
Sara & Andy, Wedding, Warwickshire, July 2009..
Thank you so much to you and all the other member of the band for making our wedding reception so much fun. From the moment the first dance was over, the dance floor was constantly packed. We thought you were brilliant, as did all of our guests and it was very good of you to cater to popular demand by accommodating so many requests, allowing the best men to join you on stage for a rendition of Mustang Sally and playing so many encores at the end - our guests just couldn't get enough of you! We will definitely recommend you to anyone we know planning a wedding or a party.Send our best to the rest of the band and hopefully see you again sometime in the future!
Jane and Nick, Wedding, Worcestershire, June 2009.
We're back from honeymoon now and are going through the photos and reliving the day, great fun. Just to say we thought you did a fantastic job for us, you have a great sound, really got everyone going and made it all go fantastically smoothly. We wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending you and will look to do exactly that whenever we can. All the best
Jonathan & Hilary, Wedding, Solihull, June 2009.
Hi, we really hope you enjoyed your Edinburgh experience as much as we did. You were all brilliant! You didn't know it but among our guests were the Arts Editor for the Herald newspaper and a nephew who manages musicians for productions at the National Theatre in London and they along with everybody else raved about the band"s skills. Everyone wanted to know where we had found you and I think you probably realised from their reluctance to let you go home just how much you all were appreciated. You and the band added that something special we were both hoping for and made it a fantastic party that no one will forget. Thank you so much!
Mike and Mark, Civil Partnership, Edinburgh, June 2009.
I'm delighted to write a testimonial for the band. From the word go they were very professional. They were eager to please ensuring everything would be exactly as we wanted. We had a clearly agreed contract stating when they would arrive, set-up and play etc. On the day everything went smoothly, and they rocked! Clearly each individual member is a talented musician in their own right, and together they are a tight outfit. They played to the crowd and lots of encores. We had a perfect night, and our friends and family danced and loved it. Thank you very much!
Dr Toby Pearn and Dr Louise Pearn, Wedding, Shropshire, May 2009.
We are back from our honeymoon. Had such a wonderful day. Thank you, to you and band for playing so brilliantly, you were fantastic. Everyone loved you! Thank you the first dance went great, I think a shock to us both. I may well be back in touch soon on other gigs as I organise events at BBC WW. Thank you once again
Emily & Andy, Wedding, Derbyshire, May 2009.
Many thanks for playing for us, we all thought you were great! We had a fantastic day on Sunday, can't believe it went so quickly, but you and the band helped make it really special for Jayne and myself. Thanks once again,
Rob & Jayne Lewis, Wedding, Shewsbury May 09.
Thank you, for a wonderful evenings entertainment. Their were so many comments about how good you were throughout the night and the next day. Thank you again for helping add to the lasting memories of the day, and I am sure that we will see you perform some were else soon. All the best for the future.
Ed and Amy, Wedding, Southwell, Nottingham, May 09
Sorry I didn’t have chance to speak to you before I left it was all a bit chaotic!!! You and the band were fantastic, everyone has commented and everyone was dancing! Thank you very much we would definitely recommend you! Take care and thank you all again.
Kate and John Schofield, Wedding, Keele University, May 09.
We had an amazing day, all the time and effort we put in to arranging it was certainly worth it! Which definitely includes choosing your good selves as our band. Everybody we have spoken to since said you were amazing and the fact that I left the dancefloor at one stage (not for long) to have a chat with some of my guests and found hardly anyone sat at a table as they were all up and dancing says it all really. Thanks very much to all of you for making our wedding as perfect as we could have hoped for. By all means use my words as a testimonial, we would be very happy to endorse you guys. Will make sure any friends who are planning to get hitched in the near future have your email address too. Hopefully see you again sometime in the future
Neil & Leanne (Robinson!), Wedding, Worcester, March 09.
The night was a great success, and the band were great! The set list was ideal, and the way you played the first few tracks in almost a jazz style was superb! The dance floor was basically full for virtually the whole time you were on, so that speaks volumes. Thanks for staying on a while later too, I had a taxi booked already, but would have loved to have stayed if I had known it would go on. You were all very professional and the sound was very tight. We have had superb feedback, some people who attend lots of this type of event in the corporate world were very impressed. We will obviously recommend you to others and think of using you for future events, although most of our event are on a smaller scale. Once again, thanks for a great night.
Greg, Friends Of Hanbury School, Charity Ball, Bromsgrove, March 09.
Hi guys! What a great sound you gave us on Saturday (28th February) and everyone enjoyed the band. Liz and I would like to thank you for helping to make our Wedding day so special. The Band just added that extra special touch to the evening which everyone enjoyed. You were definately our right choice.....and we were impressed that you managed to keep people on the dance floor all night. If we have a function again where we need live sound (not a re-wedding!!) we are sure we will choose you again.
Many thanks to all the band, Ian & Liz Robinson (Wedding, Hoole Hall, Chester) February 09
Hi,just wanted to send a note to say thank you so much to the band for the excellent set on the 20th December at our wedding party. It was exactly what I wanted and lots of the guests have commented on how great you all were. We really enjoyed it and everyone is saying what a great party it was. I hope you and the band had a great Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.
Kind regards, Kelly & Tom Weber, (Wedding Reception, Thame) December 08
"What a Party" We recently got married and had one hell of a reception party in the evening at Lanes Barn in south Oxfordshire. Following a great day the celebrations continued into the evening with all our family and friends, 120 plus arriving to the party with a fabulous band playing there stuff all night. "The Stunt Doubles" What a brilliant band, they were so tight, great musicians and top vocals playing a great selection of hits, rock & roll, soul, jazz, a fantastic time had by all. Everyone up on the floor bopping to the late hours, Quite frankly we could not have picked a better band, even after 2 weeks the gang are still going on about the great music the band were playing at our celebration gig. There's just nothing like great live music and "The Stunt Doubles" is the band for any party. To all the guy's in the band, thanks so much for making our night such a brilliant event. (we will have to do it again sometime).
John & Anne King, (Wedding Reception, Oxon) October 08
I just wanted to thank the whole band for such a fantastic performance on Sunday. I have been complimented on the evening but it was you guys that helped make it what it was. I look forward to seeing you again in the future.
