Testimonials

Dear Mike and Alistair, many thanks for booking Pete and the guys for us last Thursday evening for our company christmas party at Cafe Royal. They played up a storm and had everyone burning up the dancefloor, even inspiring some japanese crazylegs to appear. They certainly played the set to suit the audience age and cultural range and we couldn't have asked for better ;o)
Toni Hutton, Treasury Operations Manager, Itochu Europe Plc., November 2007

Fingermouse played at our wedding on 13th September and were absolutely fantastic. Their selection of songs and brilliant execution got everyone up on the dancefloor all night! Many of the guests have since raved about them so we're hoping to see them again at a future event!
Mark Williams, Wedding, September 2007

Fantastic band made the night what it was! Enjoyed by everyone - parents and teenagers. Thanks for all your energy and also your patience before the performance. Hope to have an excuse to use you again soon!!'
Joy Birkett, 18th Birthday Party, September 2007

Fingermouse were very polite and professional to deal with in the planning and on the night which made our lives a lot easier when we had so much to organize. Everybody at our wedding really enjoyed Fingermouse’s performance, especially us. A lot of our guests commented on how great they were; many noted that the lead singer sounded like the original in every cover they did. We had a full dance floor all night, the atmosphere they created was fantastic and for that we cannot thank them enough. We can certainly recommend them to anybody looking for a band, with their varied playlist we could not have wished for anyone better!

"Fantastic! We were impressed when they played at the Ministry of Sound for our Summer Charity Ball but when we got them back for the Christmas Ball at the Hammersmith Palais we were blown away. Excellent musicianship and a first class performance ".

‘We had these guys playing at the St. Andrews’ freshers week and had so many requests to get them back that we booked them as the main supporting act for Goldie Lookin’ Chain at our May Ball.”
