“Thanks for your excellent set on Saturday. Really great. We could not have asked for a better band. Everyone was dancing and really enjoying the music. The band were really great to deal with from initial contact to on the night. They were flexible in their timings as we ran a little late and always on the ball when it came to keeping the evening rocking! Thanks again, I thoroughly recommend this band!”

“We booked The Summertime Blues to perform at our wedding on the 8th September in Bristol, and we had no regrets! Their manager and drummer, was extremely helpful and easy to work with. We discussed a set list that suited the type of wedding evening we wanted, and everything was planned to perfection. The band arrived on time and performed an incredible set list which had everybody dancing and singing all night!”

“I can only give 10/10 across the board. Dealing with Function Central has been so easy and the band were amazing. It was so nice to have so many guests come to me to tell me how brilliant they were. They really got our celebrations off with a bang. The music spanned so many generations, young and old alike were dancing together. I am sure I will be seeing them again in the future and I know several guests asked for their details. A huge thank you!”

“The Summertime Blues were an absolute pleasure to work with. As the bride, they were wonderful, polite, friendly and stopped to have a chat with me during their break and dinner. Their music was unbelievable, so much fun and energy was put into their performance and it reflected in the energy level of the party. They saved my evening reception from being a complete and utter disaster. The venue’s DJ was completely horrendous and I’ve never seen a dance floor empty so quickly, but as soon as TSTB'S came back, it was completely full and lively again. They were brilliant, I would have them again at any other event I was having, and I would highly recommend them to anyone!”

“I wanted to let you know how fantastic I thought The Summer Time Blues were when they played at our Wedding. We really enjoyed the sets as they had such fantastic energy and had the whole wedding up on their feet. Musically they were spot on and were everything we wanted out of a rock and roll band. Also considering how much there is to organise for a wedding we also appreciated their professionalism before and during the night. It gave us one less thing to worry about! All in all a massive success! We would highly recommend them.”

“The Summertime Blues were fantastic! Everyone said so, both Matt and I were really impressed - my only regret is that at 6 months pregnant I couldn't dance for longer! Please pass on my thanks - Ive recommended them to all my budding friends : )”

“Just a short note to say thank you to the band for playing for our AGM dinner last week. I have to say that I had my doubts about having a band – we haven’t had a band for the evening before and I wasn’t convinced that people would get up and dance, but how wrong could I be! We had a fantastic evening, with everyone up on the dance floor till they turned the power off! I have had so many people telling me what a great night it was – and all thrilled by the music. So, a really fine evening, a room full of very happy people and a night to remember. Thanks – and hope we get to use you again.”
