The Talent Testimonials

Please can you pass this onto each of the band members who performed at my sister Ruth's wedding last night (Sat 10th Dec 2011)

It was a truly beautiful day and everything just 'worked'. The band was exceptional on all counts, in their friendliness, their conduct (the owners of the house wanted to pass on their thanks too as they were so polite in the background area when getting dressed etc).

I've been to a 'lot' of weddings, over 50 in the past 6 years. This band is right up there, if not topping the lot from sheer entertainment and getting everyone (inc the oldies) onto the dance floor.

How my 5 year old nephew lasted until 11.30pm dancing I will never know!

Many thanks again for giving Ruth and Dave such a good start to their married life.

Baggy, I just wanted to say how AMAZING yesterday was. Thank you so so much for everything. It really was the best day of my life and the music totally made it. So many people said how great you were, and this morning I've recommended you to a friend (Sarah Hunt) who is getting married next summer!

Apologies for completely ruining your last song - a friend suggested I chip in on stage and I'm afraid I didn't think it through until I was up there. Very generous of you to humour me...

Thanks again and happy christmas!

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the amazing performance the band put on at our wedding on 21st May! We had so many comments about how fantastic they were and the dance floor was full all night! I didn't have a chance to speak to them myself unfortunately but I would like them to know that everyone had a brilliant night!

Dear Baggy, we had a really great night....the kids have been raving about it for the last 2 days...best party of the season...apparently. The Band were brilliant, so much fun and even allowed Chris to play a Jimmy Hendrix with them. What a great night. Rich and I will definitely do it again...not sure when although Chris has 'booked' the band for his 18th!! (Dec 2012). The barn was also fantastic, great acoustics, another pleasant surprise.

You were also a pleasure to deal with, even David Noble said how much he had enjoyed working alongside you. We will be back. Thanks again.

The Talent are a smashing bunch of guys and their performance was stunning. They are such a talented group of musicians, the lead singer has a superb voice and they were first class performers. They had so many people up on the dancefloor right from the off all the way to the very end. They performed new and old equally well, and their Queen tracks in particular were just off the clock brilliant! We like Rock music and if The Talent put on a concert please let us know - we'd happily buy tickets and take all our mates along!

Dear Barrie,

Sofia and I are now back from or honeymoon, so I'd like to take this opportunity to say a big ""thank you"" to The Talent for their performance at our wedding on 15th May.
The performance was very good, and the band were very accommodating to requests, etc. Everyone really enjoyed their music, and the fact that they covered a few genres gave ""something for everyone"". Equally impressive was the fact that they were unassuming and seemed a good bunch of lads. They also allowed me to fulfil a life-long dream of singing ""Don't Look Back in Anger"" with a band, which was amazing for me (although not sure I made the grade!), and that is a memory that will live long with us.

Again, thanks very much for helping us enjoy our day so much, and best of luck to you and the band for the future.

Kind regards
Jon and Sofia - Saturday 15th May 2010”

Hi Barry

Sorry for very late e-mail but just want to say how fantastic the Talent were at are wedding at Langly castle on the 6th of march. They were way past are expectations, they were bloody brilliant. All the songs they played were spot on I loved the two greenday numbers and Walk 500 miles by the Proclamers was fantastic when every one was up dancing at the end. So if you could pass this on to the lads and say thanks from us and a big thank you to you for sorting every thing.

cheers mate

Dear Baggy,

We would like to thank The Talent for playing at our wedding at Smeetham Hall Barn on the 2nd April, you completed our perfect to day. The dance floor was full all night and that is exactly what we wanted, however I never expected to be dancing to Nirvana in my wedding dress, but it worked! From the moment we saw you play in a pub in Ipswich we instantly knew that we wanted you to play at our wedding and we were not disappointed.

Thank you so much again.

Kindest regards,

Erika and Daniel Hudson - Saturday 2nd April 2011”

Hey guys - I just wanted to say a BIG Thank You for playing at our wedding on Monday night at Gaynes Park - the whole set was fantastic and we will highly recommend you and use you again. All our friends and family thought you were fantastic!!! Emma and Andy ”

Wow you guys rocked on Saturday 4th July @ Private Function! Had so many people coming up to us through the night saying how great you were!

Thank you for your hard work! Kevin Lewis ”

Hi Barrie - just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thanks to The Talent for the fantastic live music at our wedding. They were excellent and really made the evening. I guess it's always a bit touch and go when you book a band that you haven't seen play live before, but honestly, we thought they were excellent and we had nothing at all to worry about. We would definitely recommend them for any functions or events.

The song they learned for us was excellent and much better than we had thought it would be, they did it complete justice and was all we could have wanted - we loved it and thought that The Talent was the best wedding band we have ever seen.

”They were great. Thanks again Janis and Mark

Hi we would like to say a BIG thank you to 'The Talent' who played at our wedding evening celebrations on Friday 5th March at Layer Marney Tower. They were excellent and a great end to an already perfect day. The Talent are without a doubt the band to choose for a wedding or party and we will have no hesitation in recommending them to all of our friends and family.

Thanks again Sally-Ann & Chris, ”

Hi Baggy

Just a quick message to thank you and the guys for a fantastic evenings entertainment for mine and Sarah's wedding at Parklands. You really created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the evening and kept everybody up and dancing right to the very end. I reckon you could have played 'Sex on Fire' 20 times and still people wouldn't have minded!!

And it was great that you got to play with Will Martin for a few songs. Neither Sarah or I had a clue what my brother had planned, but I understand that between yourselves, my brother Glenn and James at Parklands, you hadit sorted. It really was quality!

Thanks again guys, and should we ever need entertainment again or feel the need to recommend anyone to friends and family, then we would have no hesitation in naming you guys top of out list.

Thanks again, and all the best for the future.

Kind regards,

Paul and Sarah Wallis - Saturday 25th July 2009 ”

Hi Barrie Happy New Year.

I just wanted to thank you and more importantly The Talent for playing at our wedding on 5th December. The guys were great, our guests raved about how good they were and they even kept the fireworks a secret! Seriously, it made all the difference (so much better than a cheesy disco). We were absolutely thrilled. I've been to many weddings for my friends over the years and I'm proud to say that The Talent have set a very very high standard.

Thanks to everyone and for all your help with the logistics. Kind regards Claire, Maldon, Essex ”

Hi Barrie,

We have now just returned from our honeymoon in Vegas and thought we'd send you a little momento from our wedding day.

Both myself & Gemma would like to personally thank you and the band for your performance at our wedding reception. All the guests, family and staff commented on how good you all were. The Talent are an amazing live band with everything and more.
Hope you enjoyed the hog roast, sweet shop (lol) and drinks and we hope to get along to seeing you at one of your next gigs.

All the best to you all and I will be forwarding your number and website to all who attended as they all wish to see you again so a very high recommendation from us.

Cheers Buddy Mike & Gem (Mr & Mrs Bourne) ”

Hi Barrie.

I just wanted to pass on our heartfelt thanks to the Talent for their performance at our wedding on Monday 26th October. The band were AMAZING. Everyone commented afterwards on how professional and entertaining they were. Our day was perfect in every way, there was NOTHING we would have changed – so please do pass on our thanks and let me know if you would like me to write a review for you guys.

We went to see bands from all over the place in the hope of finding the perfect live entertainment for our wedding day and The Talent were more than we could of hoped for.

Best wishes, Simon and Emily. ”

Hello Barrie,
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing at our wedding (02.09.10). You rocked. Everyone has complimented you and several asked for your bands details. The Talent really made the evening reception. I hope you got enough to eat/drink too. I've just about got over the slow dance to robbie williams (haha) but there are some amazing photos from that particular part. My youngest cousin, who is now your biggest fan, definitely had a good time, I hope he hasn't been stalking you or anything wierd like that ... but he will at the very least never forget our wedding. Anther memorable part that was ultimately your responsibilty was the brides father swinging his jacket off to sex on fire! Classic!

We cannot thank you enough for such a great set! One resounding statement from the night was how the drummer was singing and drumming and both so well at once. Perhaps you should be called the multi-Talent-ed.

Anyway Sinead and I are so so grateful for your contribution to our day. Nice one. Lewis and Sinead Carey ”

Dear All at Monitor Music,

Thank you very much for the excellent band you provided on our wedding day. The Talent were such nice guys and the music played was perfect. This helped end a wonderful day and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to friends and colleagues in the future.
We searched all over Essex, Suffolk & Hertfordshire for the perfect wedding band and The Talent was exactly what we needed. i cannot thank you enough.
Once again, thank you
Best Wishes Simon and Candace Boulton ”

Dear Barrie,
We just wanted to sat thank you so much for the fantastic performance of The Talent at our wedding on 3rd September in Essex

Everyone has been saying how fantastic they were, I just thought you would be really pleased with the feedback.

It was an amazing day and the music made it perfect!! The dancefloor was never empty. I fell over on it quite a bit............i think that was my mean friends making me drink tequila....oh dear!!
Apologies to the band for my drunkeness!!

Thanks so much again, Georgie and Phil Broom ”

Hi The Talent, I would just like to say a big thank you for your help and to the band as they were amazing. I have been asked for their name and details from several friends and family so I hope you get more business.

Also I would like to say thanks to the harpist who was delightful and truly fantastic. Everyone turned up on time, was in great spirits, and totally enjoyed the day. All of our friends (even the ones who hired other wedding bands) said that The Talent was the best choice that they have ever made and they were the best wedding entertainment they had seen.
Many thanks Phil White

P.S. If you ever need a good reference we will always be happy to give you one, along with the band and harpist. ”

Hi Guys, Now we are back home and back to reality I wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you so much for providing an amazing evening of music at our wedding.
Matt was happily indulged with the Muse track and I would like to thank you for your patience when it came to me throwing the boquet, all 3 times! I drank a little more than I intended, as I'm sure you realised as I introduced myself to you when unpacking your van, but this didn't stop me having an amazing night, helped hugely by The Talent.
Your band topped our wedding off perfectly and we could not of asked for better wedding entertainment - just a brilliant live band. It was great to see everyone enjoying themselves on the dance floor and letting go of any inhibitions they had. We had many comments from friends and family about what a great band The Talent are and would like to pass on their thanks too.
The support you provided in responding to my many questions along the way was also greatly appreciated as it helped take away planning stress. Thanks so much for helping make our day enjoyable and special. Hanna and Matt Taylor ”

Dear Barrie,
Apologies it's taken so long to drop you a note, but my husband and I would just like to say a massive thank you to The Talent and for making our Big Day so magical. We had an amazing time, and you all did a fantastic job of getting the crowd going on the dance floor later on in the evening. I simply adored your choice of last song (Hey Jude). It's one of my favourite tunes of all time - I was delighted that you played it and it was a great send off to a fantastic nite.

We looked high & low for great live music and entertainment for our wedding and The Talent were the solution. They quite simply rocked and made our wedding day very very special. Please pass our thanks onto all the band members and wishing you all the very best for the future.

Kind regards, Andrea & Phil James 8th August 2009 ”

Hi Barrie, We would just like to say a huge THANK YOU to you all for a fantastic evenings live music, far better than any disco!!! Just what we asked for, Fun & funky with no Abba. The Talent were superb, we had a great night and our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves commenting on how good the band were. Lots of dancing from young and old, some we were not too sure if they should have but at least they enjoyed themselves. Thank you also for accompanying us for our first dance, we loved every minute of it even though we forgot the moves :o) We would recommend The Talent to anyone. The Manager of the Hotel was impressed with the guys and has requested that we forward on details of website & email to him should they have need of or to recommend a live band.

We wish you every success for the future.
Regards
Robert & Racheal Harbord ”
