Great energy, extremely polite, and experts in their field at doing what they do. They even stepped in to perform a special song at our ceremony learning the lyrics and putting their own special spin on it! Couldn't be happier with our choice of a roaming band.Thanks guys! Skal!

Verified booking on FixTheMusic"WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW! Guaranteed the first thing that anyone says to us when chatting about our wedding day is… “how good were your band?” We booked The Mad Socks for our wedding and they were unbelievable, the dance floor was full the entire night and the music was perfect for what the guests wanted. They arrived well in time, had everything set up without anyone noticing and took our evening party to the next level! They even learnt a new song for us that we love, thank you! We also had the DJ set with saxophone which went down an absolute treat!! We would say, if you’re undecided whether to book, definitely do it, it’s the one decision we are so glad we made. Thank you, Gemma and Hayley xx"
