What people say

• Kato played at our wedding in July this year and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them highly. I originally booked the guys after hearing some of their stuff online and reading reviews about how easy they were to deal with, these reviews were absolutely true. We made various unusual requests all of which were accommodated enthusiastically by the band including allowing our drunken guests to have a go at ‘bandeoke’ (which sounded dreadful until Paul helped out with the singing) but was great fun. They learned to play our first dance as well as another song which we both love, and they nailed both of them. If you want a really nice group of guys, who enjoy what they do, are easy going and super nice to you and the venue staff at your event then you could not do better than booking this band. Thanks guys, you really were the icing on the cake of our fantastic wedding.

• Very professional in their communication and presentation and able to accommodate our needs with a versatile set list. The band are charming as well as excellent musicians. A great night was had by all, we would definitely recommend them as would many of the guests that attended our wedding party. A band can make or break a party and Kato made the evening one of the best nights we've ever had. Our guests are still talking about the band and asking "where did you find them?"

• Kato played at my husband’s 50th birthday party recently, and I can honestly say I have never seen such a packed dance floor from beginning to end! The band seemed to know intuitively what would work for a party with ages ranging from 11 to 82! They are all fabulous musicians who make a really authentic sound, bringing many old favourites fully to life.
  
  They clearly enjoy what they do, and have a good rapport with each other. The lads were also great company off stage, and had a very professional approach to their work throughout, giving us the reassurance we needed to know that our party was safe in their hands.
  
  Our guests were hugely impressed by the musical entertainment, and many asked for the band’s contact details. We would definitely recommend them to others, and will certainly hire them again at our next big occasion!

  Kathryn, Private party, Sussex, July 2010

• Kato played at our wedding on 5 June 2009. They were truly excellent and managed to please an array of guests that ranged from 7 to 82 - all of whom took to the dance floor!
  
  The guys offered advice about set lists, and then shaped their numbers to include all the songs that we had requested. They also learnt special numbers that had not been requested previously, and this was a real bonus as it made the music even more personal.
  
  The band let us use their PA and wireless microphones for the speeches, and even provided the best man with a projector for his speech. They also arranged the musical interludes between their performances and ran the disco late in to the night. All of this made the day so much easier and more cost effective than having to use separate performers.
  
  The guys in the band looked the part, sounded excellent, and were true gentlemen before, during and after the wedding.
  
  We considered the music to be one of the most important parts of our day and thanks to the band it was a true highlight. I would thoroughly recommend using them and am sure that they will continue to do a fantastic job in the future.
