"Hired these guys for my dad's party, they were absolutely brilliant and really created a great atmosphere on the night. They were a dream to deal with in the run up to the event, I would definitely recommend them!"
"A great band with a professional attitude! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!"
"Hey Kev, Chris and Tim, we just want to say a massive thank you for playing our wedding on 31st July at The Old Vicarage. For anyone thinking of booking these guys, do it!! They are punctual and professional, they sound phenomenal, the recordings online don't really do them justice (and they are great too!). They were super accommodating with our vision of how the evening should run. We had a vintage feel to our country house wedding and their look complemented this perfectly. It was wonderful to have our first dance with a real band instead of a DJ. It made it feel very romantic for us. All of our guests loved having them, they had everyone up dancing, and their versions of the songs they play are sublime. We particularly loved their treatment of some Bob Marley classics that had everyone singing the lyrics back to them. They really do create the perfect party atmosphere. Highly recommended! Shaz & Jut."
"The Talismen played at my wife's birthday party - They were fabulous - Indeed so much so that we told the DJ to go and The Talismen stayed on all night!!!"
"The Talismen played at our wedding and we were absolutely blown away. They were super friendly and professional from the first chat right through to the end. They went above and beyond to help us in every way they could and even chose our first dance song! The music was incredible and we 100% recommend this band. They are unbelievably talented and the dance floor was packed. Thank you so much for helping to make our day so perfect."
"We had The Talismen for our wedding & they were fantastic & I know all of our guests loved them! They really topped off the day in amazing fashion. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks again chaps! Nick & Jude Franklin."
