Last night’s event for the first Mining Indaba After Hours cocktail party was a great success. The client was really happy with the choice of band. The music you played was so perfect for the style of the event.

I would like to say thank you for the excellent service and music you guys delivered on our wedding day. We regrettably could not listen to a large part of the set as we were up and about to take photos, but the part I could listen to (and dance to) and the feedback I got was amazing! It was unfortunately a bit cold during the set, but the music really lifted the party. Many thanks again. You created an amazing and memorable experience to ourselves and our guests.

Dan!!! You guys were INCREDIBLE!!! No one will stop raving to us about you 🙂 You made a special day so much more special and we’ll be forever grateful. The band was great, the sound was great, the whole vibe was just amazing. Did you guys manage to squeeze in a bit of a game drive before you left? We saw Romy off at the airstrip and then got a text of a photo from my best man with Ndumiso at the airport! Photographers said it might be up to 12 weeks to get all the pics back but once we have them we will send your way 🙂
