Ferrero UK, "Our Best Band Ever!"

I know I said it on the night but you are all truly amazing, reliably delivering the best night of the year - our best band ever. Everyone loved you!

A. Rolph, In a word - Awesome!

In a word - Awesome! If you are looking for a hugely talented, highly professional, accommodating and reliable bunch of musicians then look no further - Playback are the guys for you; without a shadow of a doubt! We have booked them for 3 corporate events over the past few years and have never been disappointed. The feedback received each time from both staff and clients has been nothing other than 100% positive! The only negative............................ they eventually have to go home!

Jenny Hemsley, Absolutely Phenomenal!

Please pass on a massive thank you to James and the band for Saturday night. They were absolutely phenomenal - although you know that already!!! I had an absolute blast and my friends have all been raving about the band - they definitely made the night more than a little bit special. I've told James to keep the last weekend of April 2025 free for my 50th.
