Testimonials

Dear Stirling

From our end, we can just say a huge thank you on behalf of all of our guests and the team for New Years Eve.
You were not just exceptionally good entertainers, fitting perfectly and timelessly in our otherwise quite strikingly contemporary environment, but incredibly understanding of the special circumstances surrounding an event on the night and more than willing to make sure all obstacles were overcome without any disruption to guests.

A great success of the evening has a lot to thank you for and we are looking forward to the next opportunity to have you perform at Park Plaza County Hall again!

Dear Stirling & Band,

James and I would like to say thanks you for your amazing performance at our Wedding in December. The best Swing Band ever! You were so helpful with the organisation and delivered to such a high standard, much more than we could have imagined.

Second to our vows of course, you were what we were looking forward to most, and we made sure we enjoyed as much as possible by dancing for most of the night! Our first dance was the cherry on the cake, thank you for learning that especially for us.

You will be recommended to many!

With Love

Debbie & James Winstanley
 

“I commissioned you to entertain the mess on 9 May 09. I have been in the mess now for over 23 years and have effectively hired many bands in my role as President of the Entertainments Committee (PEC) to perform at all manner of occasions and your band is amongst the most professional, polished, well presented and entertaining that I have experienced.

I honestly do hope to get you back to Upavon next year for one of the major functions.

Hi Stirling,
 
Just a quick note to say how very grateful I am for the wonderful performance you guys gave on our wedding day!
 
Now that the dust has settled on the last week and a bit, I have had a chance to speak to people and look at all the photos: everybody said how much they enjoyed the band and what a nice change it was from the usual disco!
 
Personally, I would like to put on record (Clare at Alive Network please take note!) that you were all highly professional, turned up on time, were flexible in the repertoire, well behaved etc etc (sounding like a school report now!). Also our request for first dance "Fly me to the moon" as a waltz was excellent. Couldn't have asked for more.
 
I will make sure that anyone looking for a Big Band is directed your way in future and maybe one day i'll get to hear you again. Thanks also for your words of encouragement - let's hope that the six year gap during which my own Big Band "hasn't had a gig" will be broken before the decade is out!
 
Best regards
 
Dave
 

Dear Stirling,

I just wanted to say a big thank you on behalf of us all for your wonderful performance on Saturday.  We had so many lovely comments about the music and it was great to see people on the dance floor.  You make a great MC.  

Shirley and Malcolm had a day to remember and commented on your professionalism and your charm.

Please thank the other members of the band and rest assured that I will be recommending you to everyone I know.

Best wishes,

Karen Loader, 50th Wedding anniversary, London, November 2010
