What people say

• The Forty Fives have now played our annual Charity Ball for two consecutive years. On both occasions we have had a wide age group attending the Ball and the band have not failed to get everyone onto the dance floor. They were friendly, arrived promptly and were set up well in advance of the event starting. We really couldn’t ask or anything else and would defiantly look to book them again.

• I would be very grateful if you could add a tribute for The Forty-Fives who played our evening reception last weekend. Without exception, everybody loved them, even their sound check! They were extremely professional, entertaining and talented, a real credit to themselves. Once again, many thanks.

• Hi Mike, we had The Forty-Fives for our Summer Ball. Just to say that they hit exactly the right note and made it a great party. Would definitely book them again.

  Capt Ormiston, Royal Anglian Summer Ball, East Anglia, July 2008

• I would just like to say how brilliant The Forty-Fives were at our Summer Ball – June 2008. Four very talented musicians that were able to get our party underway. Everybody enjoyed – would certainly recommend – well done!

  Rebecca, Summer Company Ball, West Midlands, June 2008

• Wayne, just wanted to say thank you once again for your fantastic set last Friday. It really did make the evening special and I’m so glad I changed my mind about having a live band. Jean (our Long Service Award winner) was overwhelmed when you played ‘All The Time In The World’, especially when she found out you’d learned it just for her! Tom, our store manager, has also asked that I pass on his gratitude and I look forward to the possibility of working with you again on future events.

  Alison Pole, Corporate event (Tesco Ltd), East Midlands, June 2008

• Thanks so much for your performance. I cannot tell you the amount of brilliant feedback I’ve had from staff and managers alike. I also wanted to thank you and the rest of the band for your help both before and during the event. Your choice of songs was excellent and I was amazed by the amount of people you managed to get dancing! Once again, thanks for a great night and I would have no hesitation in booking you guys again or recommending you to my friends.

• I hired 'The Forty-Fives' for my wedding last August - I have to say it was a difficult choice to make as my husband-to-be was a musician! They were brilliant - they got everyone, young and old up and dancing, and everyone loved it. They've got a really good selection of songs - and they even learnt one especially for the night so that made it really special. I'd definitely book them again - I've recommended them to quite a few people - they were great!
