Red Hot Poker Band Testimonials

Our wedding day will go down in history as we had the most amazing day.  All my guests raved about the band and many asked after them with intentions to hire them in the future.  I have no complaints with the service of Hireaband nor the professionalism of the band.  Full marks from us and I will definitely be recommending you to all my friends and family.  Julie Kelly, Wedding, Gailes Hotel, May 2008.

WOW!  The band were amazing, they completely blew us away.  All of our guests commented on them, the dance floor was packed all evening.  Thank you so much for learning our "first dance" song and adding to the memory of our wonderful day.  A huge thank you to The Red Hot Poker Band.  Julie & Andrew Collard, Wedding, Blairquhan Castle, February 2008.

The Red Hot Poker Band were excellent and didn't just meet our expectations but surpassed them.  Not only are they excellent musicians, they are also lovely people who made every effort to ensure everyone enjoyed themselves.  All the guests commented on how good they were.  Please pass on our sincerest thanks to the band.  Diane & Scott Ellis, Wedding, The Hub, February 2008.

I would like to thank the agency and The Red Hot Poker Band for making Ross & Sandra's wedding such a success.  The band were very professional and looked great.  Their choice of music, the musicians and singers were all brilliant.  Ross & Sandra requested a song outwith the setlist and the band agreed to learn it just for them.  I have had so many compliments about the band and enquiries on how to contact them, I am sure more bookings will follow.  I would recommend the Red Hot Poker Band to anyone planning a wedding or event.  Margaret Cairns (Wedding of Ross & Sandra), Roxburgh Hotel, February 2008.

The band were spectacular, two and a half weeks on and people are still commenting on how good they were; truly remarkable.  Without such professionalism and true talent, our event would not have been the same.  Shelley & Simon Arnold, Wedding, Dumbuck House Hotel, 15 September 2007.

The range of music was excellent and the vocals/instruments were all perfect.  The band were friendly and congratulated us on arrival.  I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.  Wedding, Marine Hotel, 9 June 2007.

Guests and venue staff all commented on how the band were and how they got everyone going!  Great performance that added to a special occasion.  Wedding, Kilconquhar, 12 May 2007.

The quality and repertoire of music was outsatnding.  We couldn't get our guests off the dance floor!  There were even calls for an encore at the end of the night.  We have no hesitation in recommending Red Hot Poker Band to anyone.  Wedding, Crutherland House Hotel, 7 April 2007.

We hadn't heard the band live as we had booked them on somebody else's recommendation so it was sort of a surprise for us too.  Amongst all the planning that goes in to a wedding, we were in no way dissappointed and would like to thank them for an excellent evening.  Wendy & Alistair Buckingham, Wedding, Cartland Bridge Hotel, 24 March 2007.

Just wanted to let you know that the Red Hot Poker Band where absolutely brilliant.  Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the night and had nothing but praise for the band.  Fiona Park, Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering Limited, 23 February 2007.

To Gordon and everyone else in the band.  Just a quick note to say a huge THANK YOU for the entertainment you provided at our wedding on the 18th November 2006 at Cally Palace, Gatehouse of Fleet.  It was amazing, everyone commented on how fab you all were and were so sorry when the set came to an end!  The cover you did of "Protection" by Massive Attack (for our song) was truly brilliant.  Steve and I were amazed!  Also, "Sweet Caroline" which was a really nice touch at the end went down really well with everyone.  I don't remember the dancefloor being empty all night - even some of our older guests had a good boogy, you really captured the audience.  Thanks again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you should you ever need a reference.  Steve & Caroline, Wedding, Cally Palace, 18 November 2006.

We want to thank you very much for making our wedding reception go like clockwork.  You were very prompt, smart and very professional.  We appreciated the way you kept the music flowing throughout the evening and as impressed that the decibal limiter caused you no problems.  The hotel also commented on your good work and we will recommend you to future couples.  Again many thanks and good luck with your future gigs.  Wedding, Shieldhill Castle, October 2006.

Having just returned from our Honeymoon, we both felt that we had to thank and congratulate the Red Hot Pokers for an absolutely brilliant night at our Wedding in the Hub, Edinburgh.  From the first dance until the last, they kept the party going and kept the dancefloor full.  Our main requirement for our wedding was to create a great party atmosphere.  The band met this requirement and more!  They played a great array of songs with great passion.  Their enthusiasm was very infectious and was passed on to the whole party who danced until they dropped.  They could not have been better and helped to make a perfect day very exceptional indeed!  Everybody at the party has since commented on how great the band was and we would have no difficulty in recommending them for any other function.  Thanks again.  Brian and Felicity Diamond - Wedding 26 November 2005.

Dear Red Hot Poker Band, everyone so enjoyed your musical and vocal entertainment at the wedding on Saturday 17th September in Rhu.

We didn't hear Red Hot Poker live before the wedding so we were a bit nervous - we needn't have been.

Thanks. Wedding, Popinjay Hotel, March 2006

Red Hot Poker Band were just fabulous and really made our reception go like a dream. One particularly special thing was how they learned a new song to them which was for our first dance.
