I just wanted you to pass on the message to Daddy Longlegs that they got absolutely rave reviews from all my guests last Saturday. Someone rang me up who had been walking down the street, and wanted to know who they are so they could book them! Every single person I have talked to said that they really made the party, and were so good both instrumentally and vocally. And looked the part! Please give them my thanks – I didn’t really get to speak to them on the night, being far too busy having a ball and dancing the night away!
Hi David, can you thank the guys for me, they were brill and good fun and we enjoyed every minute! Many thanks and kind regards.
Tony and I would like to thank ‘Daddy Longlegs’ & Co who played at our Golden Wedding celebrations at Kettering Park Hotel. All of our guests and ourselves had a very HAPPY evening and all thought that the music was great. This will be a talking point for a long time to come. Thank you so much.
They were outstanding…… no, amazing infact. We have all been talking about how good they were when we got back to work this morning. I will certainly reccommend your services to friends/family/hotel guests etc… Thank you once again!
Just to let you know that Daddy Longlegs did a fantastic job on Sunday. They were very professional and managed to draw a good crowd. We thought the dancer, thrown in free, was brilliant. I was in the Street Art section of the event for some of the time they were on and some of the kids were singing along, which showed they have a wide appeal. Tell them thank you again and well done. Thank you to you too!
Thanks for everything on Saturday. As before, all was well thought out and there were no hitches. Daddy Longlegs lived up to expectations, providing the bride with her ‘Mustang Sally’ slot, and the DJ kept the dancers busy up to the last minute.
