The band played at our party last night and they were stunning. Great people, very well organised. Would recommend them to anyone, who wants a band that can get everyone up on the floor. Brilliant sound, great musicians. Would book them again tomorrow.

Thanks for the congratulations, the wedding was an amazing day and the band were excellent - everybody had sore feet after dancing so much! Thanks for making the whole process of booking a band hassle-free and if you get chance, pass on our thanks to Mooncat for a great nights entertainment.

The British Transplant Games Gala Dinner at the Bath Pavilion was excellent. Mooncat provided fantastic music and the dance floor was always full of athletes having fun. They were concerned to ensure that our event was a success and it was. In fact, it was the voted the best ever and Mooncat were brilliant.
Jean Howard-Jones, August 2006

Mooncat were MAGNIFICANT!!!! It was an absolutely perfect evening, and in mine and Jonathan's opinion, it was the band that made the wedding! (Apart from the actual ceremony obviously)! Their music was great, appropriate and much enjoyed by all the guests. Thanks very much, and if I get round to sending a card I will - is there an address I can send it to?
Katie Lynch, September 2006

We very much enjoyed the band, who got a lot of people on the dancefloor, especially for the second half of the set! If possible it would be good to email them or write directly to them, as we were very impressed with them, and they certainly seemed to enjoy when I spoke to them after.
David,August 2005

We had an amazing day and so many comments from the wedding party about how great Mooncat were!! Everyone was dancing by the end of the night, we had run over with the speeches but the band were flexible on time.. The content was brilliant and the singing fantastic. Please pass our thanks on to them.
