"We just wanted to say what a fabulous job The League of Gentlemen did last Saturday night. It pressed all the right buttons, everybody was up dancing all night (apologies for the standard of our singing!). The band really knows how to rock (and roll when required). We have received nothing but compliments from everyone who was there, with the best comment being “the perfect wedding band”. You made the evening go with a bang, so many thanks to you all. "

"I just wanted to say many thanks for the Usual Suspects playing at our party on Saturday evening! They were brilliant, sounded great, looked fab and extremely helpful! Thank you for our first (unintended) first dance! "

"I was first introduced to Angelika via a colleague, during the creation of, ‘Inspirations From My Imagination’, which was my final university project and my first commercial release. I did not know it at the time, but Angelika would become one of my most important collaborators during the project, who I have referred to as ‘The Unsung Star’ of the EP. Not only did she perform on 3 of the 4 tracks (all of which were in very different genres) but she put together the other string players who formed the string quartet that performed on one of the tracks, something she did entirely of her own accord and for which I still remain very grateful. Despite all my stresses with the project, I loved working with Angelika. She has been exceptionally helpful in making corrections and improvements to the violin parts which I have sent to her, for the EP, as there can be issues that make the original score unplayable in parts, which is a common problem when writing music electronically. She continues to do this with my more recent compositions. Angelika is a very talented and knowledgeable violinist who is kind, helpful and professional, as well as being incredibly patient. She can perform in various genres of music with equal measures of brilliance. It was an absolute honour for me to collaborate with her on this EP and I look forward to the next major collaboration with her. "

"Hired for my 50th birthday, they were on time, very polite, on point with the acoustics and made the evening a pleasure to listen to. I’d deffo recommend them. Thanks again to Dunes!! So many compliments from friends and family and a great memory to keep. Would recommend them without thinking about it!! "

"Paper Boats were incredibly professional in the way they conducted themselves, forthcoming with suggesting best possible set lists to got people involved on the dance floor from their extensive repertoire. They were happy including our “must-have” songs and sure enough there wasn’t a moment when the dance floor was empty. They were on time, very quick to set up after our prolonged speeches and it was a really great finishing touch to have the bride, groom and brother of the bride up on the stage all singing the closing song with the band. "

James White – Wedding, Surrey

"Playback were undoubtedly one of the highlights of the whole weekend. We had a much larger crowd than usual in the afternoon so you won a lot of people over whilst you were playing! Your song choices were absolutely spot on, great harmonies too. I also want to add what a very friendly, professional approach the band has. Highly recommended so hire the band now! "

Sam Bayly – Wedding, Suffolk

"Really impressed and very pleased with Paper boats. They were very friendly and professional. This took a huge amount of pressure off me and made the evening and dance flow very well. They were very organised prior to the wedding and easy going. They played so well we would definitely recommend! "

Amanda Gomez – Wedding, Brighton

"Talking with Fireworks were amazing at our wedding. They were so easy to work with and nothing was too much trouble. They helped with playlist ideas and we couldn’t have been happier dancing the night away celebrating our wedding and creating great memories with friends & family. "

Michelle Denton – Wedding, Louth

"Have seen Goodfellas Before and knew they were going to perform. Wasn’t disappointed – amazing performance and showmanship – people were talking about them for weeks! They also managed the whole music programme playing pre recorded wedding music between sets and taking the time to make sure that everyone’s favourites were on the playlist – even if they had to learn the songs! A total package you wont regret booking. "

Susan Merryfield- Wedding, Poole

"I was going to drop you an email to say a HUGE thank you to the band! They were awesome and so understanding with timings and having to wait etc etc! I could have danced all night!!! They are so polite and just top people – if I have another party I’ll definitely book them again!! They are also, more importantly, an AWESOME band!! "

Helen Townrow – Wedding, London

"This is an album that puts the band on the map as one of the leading Americana acts. "

"Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Plastic Riot for the awesome gig at our wedding on Saturday. The dancefloor was full all night and our guests had nothing but praise for the band. We’ll definitely be recommending them to our friends and family for future events. "
