Testimonials
I hope you can pass on my thanks to The Files for their performance at our wedding on March 10th. Many of our guests remarked on how fantastic they were and my husband and I wholeheartedly agree. They were professional, friendly and also very tolerant of at least 1 drunken friend attempting to steal the mike (our apologies about that!).
Jenny Gillies, Bride, March 2007
The evening was fantastic, if a bit ad hoc, as the flood barriers went up cutting off footpath access unless you climbed over them!
Alyson Burnett, private party, January 2007
Cheers guys for a fantastic set of songs - we have received no end of compliments from our reception guests. You managed to keep young and old dancing all night and have become a truly memorable part of our big day. All the best for 2007.
