booked Accordionist Cailin for their Wedding at Carlton Mitre Hotel in Surrey

“The band were fantastic! Pete was really easy to deal with and laid back about any requests we had. They turned up on time, were professional and performed a brilliant couple of sets.

“Since Saturday we have not stopped hearing about you. Every one of our guests were amazed by the band, even the older family member my nan in particular didn’t really know what was going on but loved it. I think it is safe to say that you guys rocked on the night and were just as good as we hoped. Please let us know where we can come and see you again.”
