Here are some comments recently received from our clients:

"Hi Peter - I Just wanted to let you know how much all of my friends enjoyed ‘The Strand’ at my birthday party. Everyone has said what a brilliant mix of music and how much they enjoyed dancing to it. Even people who do not usually dance were up on the dancefloor; strutting their stuff! It has also been commented that although it was suitably loud it did not stop them from talking and chatting.
All the best to you and the band" - Shirley Jaques

"Just to say thank a massive thank you for playing at the R&M Christmas Party at the Bournemouth Marriott on Saturday! Everyone loved the music you played (which is amazing considering the wide age range we had at the event!) and commented on how good you were - the dance floor was packed all night !.
We will definitely be booking you again next year. Thank you again for making our night the great sucess it was!" Rachal Wilson, Commercial Manager

"I've booked this band for several large corporate dinners at the Hampshire Rose Bowl and they were sensational ...they just get everyone dancing! They play a terrific cross section of music and are so talented. Professional, reliable and willing to meet the needs of the customer you can be assured they won't let you down. What more can you ask for.... I'll book them time and time again". Helen Ward (Hampshire Constabulary).

"Dear all, just a short note to express my personal thanks to you all for the fantastic performance you gave at our annual charity dinner in November. Unsurprisingly we've had unanimously positive feedback from our guests who, as you know, packed the dance floor from your first number to your last - and were begging you not to stop! We'll certainly have no hesitation in booking The Strand again for next year." Neil Westbrook
Appeals Co-ordinator - The Wessex Neurological Centre Trust.

Birthday Party: "Thanks to The Strand for providing great music at our Birthday Celebration. Both the young and the older ones really enjoyed it, as I'm sure was evident by all the dancing. You seem to have a wide repertoire which appeals to all age groups, and you worked hard to make our evening such a success". Roger and Anita.

Wedding (Balmer Lawn Hotel): "Thank you for making our day so special.......everyone was saying how great the band was, we won't hesitate to recommend you.... you kept the dancefloor packed and your version of Darkness was awesome..... Jenny & Dave Harper.

Public booking at The Lord Nelson, Hythe: "We saw you last weekend and we reckon you're the best band we've seen in any pub. We're full-time musicians ourselves and we've seen just about everything,
Great night !" - Audience feedback.

Private 21st Birthday party: "Just a quick note to say thanks very much for the other night, you all went down really well! Lots of my mates want to come to gigs you do at pub's now, I reckon we could start quite a following up! Thanks again, See you all again soon". Nick Harris.


25th Wedding Anniversary Party, Officer's Mess, Worthy Down: "What can I say about our party except that the group was awesome - thank you so much for everything and please pass on our heartfelt thanks to the other members and thank them for making it so memorable.

Wedding (Beaulieu Hotel): "Thankyou
for making our day. Our families and friends enjoyed it so much and we have had lots of requests for your details since that night. The song for our first dance that you learnt and played for us was brilliant, we are so grateful. Your bands' performance topped off our day perfectly, and I know everyone (including me!) had a fantastic time dancing the night away. I would definitely recommend you to anyone, and my relatives in Lincolnshire wanted to know your details for the future. " Helen and David Smith

Wedding (Lainstone House Hotel): We'd like to say thank you to all the guys in the Strand for their fantastic performance at our wedding on July 2nd 2011. We've had so many of our guests comment how great you were, you kept everyone dancing all evening and, of course, Fi was absolutely made up that you learnt Bon Jovi's "Living on a prayer" for her as a surprise! Thanks so much for such a great performance, John and Fiona Newton

Wedding (Mortimer Arms, Romsey): My husband and I wanted to say a huge 'THANK YOU' for playing at our wedding in July. You gave such a fantastic performance; all our guests commented on how professional you were and some friends didn't leave the dance floor all night! Helen & Alan

Thank you also for learning a new song for our first dance. It meant the world to us. The band performed with such gusto and we have some lovely photos of little Eve singing into the lead singer's microphone! We've passed on your details to a number of guests who've asked for your web address. Fiona &

Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable. ps Please pass on my apologies/thanks to your drummer...?! We have some great pics of the bridesmaids' "alternative Strand Band"! - Helen and Alan Fitzjohn
