Dear all involved with the Loose Cannons Band ...

WOW!! Thank you so much for such an amazing end to a fantastic day. I have never heard so much praise for a band as I have for you ... our first song was incredible and sang perfectly. You were all amazing and we will definitely be spreading the word!

Mr and Mrs Mel and Tom Burden (02 July 2010)

Brilliant performance by a brilliant band!! The band got everyone up singing and dancing, and we had so much positive feedback from our guests!! This is the second time we have booked the band for our bi-annual ball, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys to anyone!! A favorite with many young farmers!!

Thanks for an awesome night, looking forward to seeing you all again soon!!!

Becky Grist - Cheriton & Tedburn YFC (Grand Ball) (30 June 2010)

Amazing performance from a very professional group. Everyone had a great night singing and dancing along, it was a great end to our day. Thank you!

Personally we would like to thank you and the band for all the hard work you put in behind the scenes so that everyone can have a great time.

Nick and Claire Porter (28 May 2010)

You guys were fantastic, completed our day and would do anything to have it back again, every guest commented on your performance and I think the numbers on the dance floor (and chairs) confirmed everyone's enjoyment.

All the very best thanks a million and cant wait to see you again really soon.

Nikki and Rich (18 May 2010)

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the wonderful performance by The Loose Cannons!

You were all brilliant and we had so many comments from our guests about how fantastic you were. It was really was the icing on the cake at the end of a perfect day!

Charlotte Bardell (29 April 2010)

I thought I would wait a day or two before emailing you as I wanted to get some feedback from the members who danced the night away!

Simply, the Band was excellent in all respects and the evening was great fun! So thank you all of you very much indeed.

Monique Bertoni (03 March 2010)

Can you pass on my thanks to all the band members for your great entertainment at the dinner last Friday.

It was a real pleasure to hear you all and to enjoy music played so enthusiastically with great aplomb.

James Cross, President - Devon and Somerset Law Society (02 March 2010)

The band was AMAZING! So many people have said to us that they are the best band that they have ever heard at a wedding, and the proof is in how much everyone danced - they loved it, as did Dan and I (once we'd got our first dance over with!).

The girls vs boys dance off was a huge hit, as was the grand finale of the band coming into the crowd, no one had seen anything like it before and they thought it was great fun.

I can't wait to have another reason to hire the Loose Cannons again - we will be coming to one of your gigs in 2010!!

Alice Burrage (21 January 2010)

Thank you once again on behalf of Event Exeter for providing fantastic performances which all of our customers enjoyed!

They were particular impressed when the band came off the stage and danced around them!

Alison Blackler, Event Exeter (14 January 2010)

I was at the Great Hall on Friday and was very impressed! Your singers are really good, how do you find these people? All three should be working professionally.

And you got the sound right, much better than Seth Lakeman on Monday.

The band is bloody good!!

Peter Stephens (15 December 2009)

Brilliant band!

Great play list and truly infectious enjoyment spills from the stage.

The Loose Cannons Band are a must to get everyone up and dancing. Our friends are still asking about them and where they can see them playing next!

Liz Drummond (08 December 2009)

What a fantastic band.... we booked them as soon as we set the date of our wedding and would have moved the date if they weren't free! Don't have a disco have the Loose Cannons they will have everyone on the dance floor and are the nicest bunch out there.

Look forward to seeing them again soon....take care guys.

Emma & David Richardson (19 October 2009)

We had a wonderful wedding day and thought the band were brilliant!! All of our friends and family had a great time and really enjoyed the bands performance.

Thank you once again.

James and Helen (26 September 2009)

We had a great time... so many comments from guests who just loved it all. Thank you so much for your great band - we will certainly be after you again should we do another party/wedding.

Please thank all the members - you made the whole evening fantastic. Just wish it could have gone on longer - but all good things have to come to an end!!!

Deborah Chave (08 September 2009)

I wanted to say a huge thank you to yourself and the rest of the band for your professionalism, flexibility and above all your amazing performance.

Abi and I have been inundated with praise for you guys and we are so glad you were able to part of our big day.

I hope you all enjoyed it also with the forward rolls, break dancing and audience participation - it was quite an event all round!

Paul & Abi Bates (13 August 2009)

Everyone had a fantastic evening the band was absolutely superb, people were saying how much they enjoyed it. I think you had everyone dancing by the middle of your second song!

Thank you very much for making every ones evening and giving both Alex and Becky the perfect end to a perfect day.

Walter Longden (18 July 2009)

I would like to say a a huge thank you to yourself and the rest of the band for last night. The music was fantastic and everybody really enjoyed it. We look forward to working with you again soon!

Alison Blackler, Event Exeter (17 June 2009)

I just want to thank you and all the Loose Cannons Band for playing so magnificently at my recent birthday party in April.

Everybody loved your music and I've had loads of letters saying how much people enjoyed it all. You are now famous in Malaysia and Thailand as well!!

I have passed your name on to lots of friends who were there that night, and are interested in having you to play at their functions in the future.

Good luck to you all, you really MADE my party.

Hilary Wright (12 June 2009)

Thank's to you and all the band for another great night from the Loose Cannons. It all went perfect it was a great night for the club the best ever end of season Dinner and dance!

Mark Underhill (07 June 2009)

Thanks to all the guys in The Loose Cannons. Superb evening entertainment for our wedding, couldn't have asked for anything more.

After trawling through Devon and Somerset for a band it was great to finally find The Loose Cannons, just what we wanted for the evening of our wedding. As soon as we met everyone we knew that it was the right decision. A really friendly bunch that enjoy what they do and are really good at it too.

Ian has been fantastic throughout the planning of our wedding and a special thanks to everyone for letting my Dad rehearse with you and sing the first song and even more thanks for taking the time to learn it for us, it really made our night.

All round fun bunch of people who know how to entertain, I just wish I had more time to dance!

All our guests commented on what a good evening was had and that the music from the band was top notch and I think the girls caused a stir with some of our male guests.

100% recommend Loose Cannons to anyone... wedding, anniversary, work do... so adaptable they'll fit in anywhere.

Thanks to you all.

Emma Hewlett (04 June 2009)

The loose cannons were excellent. They really helped to round off what was a superb evening all round.

Stephen Whyte, University Of Exeter (14 April 2009)

Can you please pass on my thanks and those of the entire guest list at the event on Tuesday night to you and the band members for providing us with outstanding entertainment on 31 March at our Gala Dinner.
 
There were literally dozens of comments and queries about the band - where you were based, what you charged, if you travelled. We put a leaflet in all the delegate bags until we ran out, so I very much hope that you get some contacts and gigs as a result.
 
Thank you again for all that you did and best wishes to the band members - the new line up is a real winner - you were worth every penny!

Annie Broadbent, Conference Co-ordinator, SWiP Conference 2009 (02 April 2009)

What can I say, The Loose Cannons playing in TK Maxx who would have thought it!! I would like to say thank you Loose Cannons for generously giving up your time and so willingly supporting us, to raise heaps of money for Comic Relief.

The sales of Official Comic Relief Stella McCartney t-shirts (as modelled by the three sexy singers) went through the roof while the band were playing and we smashed our daily charity sales record!! The monies raised for the day came to total over £1700, a fantastic achievement!

Anyone wanting top quality entertainment for a memorable event, book this band now as you will not be disappointed!!

Carl Knight, Manager, TK Maxx (11 March 2009)

Hey Guys ...

You played for us at the Pavilion on valentines night and I just want to say you were absolutely amazing. Made the night so much more enjoyable. Your singers are absolutely amazing and the musicians just topped it all off. Thank you and I hope to see you again next year!!

Jordan Trick (19 February 2009)

A huge thanks John and all the guys and girls in the band for a fantastic thrash on Saturday 1st November. We've had fantastic feedback from everyone who was there.

Mustang Sally will be etched on my memory for ever!

A huge thanks to all of you. We'll be spreading the word about the Loose Cannons... book them now!

Philip Arthur (04 November 2008)

Thank you so much to all of the Loose Cannons for being such a huge part in making our big day extra-special.

Your rendition of 'All That You Are' was better than the original and we really appreciate all the hard work put into learning it for us.

Everyone has commented on how brilliant you all were - from teenagers to grannies the dancefloor was packed all night - and we're so pleased you had as much fun as we did!

Clare Bayliss (15 October 2008)

Just want to say a huge Thank you for friday night! Everyone had a fab time and are gob smacked how great you guys were. You appealed to everyone which in our company is highly commendable! Brilliant!

Thank you again and no doubt we will be using again in the future!

Rebecca Macey, Landmark Information Group (22 September 2008)

I just wanted to thank you all for an absolutely fantastic evening at the firm's 20th anniversary celebration. Everybody has made a point of saying how amazing the band was. As we had people there from 18 to 70, all of whom were on the dance floor at some point during the evening, that's a brilliant achievement. We would not hesitate to book you again.

Jonathan Langdon (01 August 2008)

We just wanted to drop you a line to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! We couldn't have wished for more at our wedding reception. Great performance with energy, fun and style. Awesome musicians and singers!!

So many of our guests have said how much they enjoyed getting out on the dance floor during your sets. You made us feel very special on the night. Thanks for doing our song - brilliant! Hope you enjoyed playing it too.

We will recommend you to anyone needing live music as I am sure will all of our guests! Thanks again.

Bruce & Joanne Harnett (28 July 2008)

The feedback is 'wow', 'great band', 'they really enjoyed themselves', 'good choice of music', 'how do I get to go out with any one of the singers' and similar eulogies.

We hope you will be available for our next do.

Value for money - very good.

Tim Baker (17 July 2008)

Thank you for a fantastic performance at our 25th Wedding anniversary.

I have lost count of the number of people who said how much they enjoyed your music. They were still talking about you days later.

David Bone (01 July 2008)

We (The Loose Cannons Band) would like to take this opportunity to thank the guests at the Young Farmers Summer Ball [20th June 2008].

The generator supplying power to the whole event failed 20+ times during the evening, mainly in our sets.

You guys support - singing, cheering, clapping, and good nature kept us going strong all night, especially in the quiet bits!

What a fantastic crowd you were!! We had so much fab feedback from the night - we are chuffed!!

Thank you soooo much!!

The Loose Cannons Band xx (22 June 2008)

We had an SPSA meeting last night and all the feedback was 'great' 'great' 'great'!! ... especially the 2nd set!

Everyone really enjoyed themselves [7th June 2008] and thought that when the guys came down onto the dance floor for the last song, was a really nice touch!

It was also commented that it was a good mix of music – older (as in our era!) classic, dancy stuff with some newer ones.

You may have also noticed that our 'theme' tunes went down rather well as well - very much appreciated, thank you!

Thank you all for a really great evening. We will keep you posted on our future events, we are sure to book you again!

Trudie Burne, on behalf of the SPSA and all the guests at BBB 08 (10 June 2008)

A great night [15 March 2008], with great music, that saw even the most unlikely people dancing like your dad!

Also, a big thank you to the band for being so accommodating when we were setting up to use the stage around them.

Ann Cousins, Events and Communications Placement Officer, EAUC (18 April 2008)

A fantastic night [9th February 2008], great music, the dance floor was packed with every generation - just like the band!

Over £1500 raised A BIG thank you

Matt Rappel, event organiser (12 February 2008)

Sorry I've been so slow in getting back to you and telling what a BLOODY FABULOUS NIGHT [2nd February 2008] YOU ALL MADE IT FOR EVERYONE ... INCREDIBLE!!!!

Rob Mcowan, Exe Sailing Club (08 February 2008)

Just a quick note to thank you very much for playing at the Chudleigh Late Night Shopping event in December.

You were absolutely fantastic and certainly made the event something very special!

Thanks again.

Julie Bannister and all the members of Chudleigh Business Guild (04 January 2008)

... The food was good, the band even better and fantastic to see the young people of SYC having such a good time alongside the old farts. It was great ...

What a brilliant night- can we have the same band next year? They must have been very good because even Jon danced!!

Starcross Yacht Club (07 December 2007)

Just to say a huge thank you to you all for your fantastic performance at my 40th on Saturday [27 October 2007], you were all very professional from the setting up crew to the members of the band, and what a great singer your vocalist is, everybody at the party was very impressed with your performances and we hope you enjoyed the evening too.

Thanks again and we hope to make a venue down there so we hope Duvale Barn will see the Loose Cannons in action again!!!

Mark Underhill (30 October 2007)

Wow, you guys were fantastic!!! I can't tell you how many people were singing your praises after the day [13th October 2007].

Hope you guys enjoyed yourselves and thanks so much. I'll be recommending you to everyone!!

Thanks again,

Bryony and Simon x (22 October 2007)

Gang,

MASSIVE thanks for the wedding gig at Buckland House [22nd September 2007]. All of our guests have commented on how great the band were. We'd like to add to that, you were brilliant.

Please please make sure everyone that was there gets thanked.

Awesome.

Will & Sam (17 October 2007)

Just wanted to say a big big thank you to you and the band for Saturday night [29th September 2007]. You guys were amazing!! We all had a fab night and everyone commented on how brill you guys were. You made our wedding celebrations the best we could have ever imagined.

- You guys rocked!

Rachel & Russell White (01 October 2007)

On behalf of Debbie & Andy Twemlow and all the guests at their wedding reception, my wife Jayne and I would like to whole heartedly thank you for an absolutely fantastic evening of live entertainment. The whole presence of your band, the vocalists and players, both sets and your interaction with the audience was brilliant.

We can recommend The Loose Cannons as excellent entertainment value. May you have many, many more gigs.

Gavin & Jayne Newell (17 September 2007)

Myself and Zoë would just like to express our thanks to you all for playing at our wedding and providing a fantastic evenings entertainment to what was a perfect day. We all thought that your performance was second to none and did a great job of managing to coax everyone onto the dance floor and provide such a wide range of music which kept everyone happy and was really the icing on the cake for us.

We have had numerous positive remarks regarding the band. A number of seasoned musicians who were undertaking a 'critical analysis' (probably too much to drink) of you also echoed similar remarks. One of our favourite parts was in 'Walking on Sunshine' when the brass section detached themselves from the band and undertook a reconnaissance mission of the surrounding areas and ensuring those at the bar in the attached room could hear what they were missing!

The whole band had a excellent sound, obviously being mixed very professionally by the sound engineer. The brass section was outstanding and so were the two girl's voices, which added so much to the overall sound. A big thank you also to the chaps who kindly set up early in the afternoon and witnessed the Leaning Tower of Cake fall over! and to the rest of the band in the evening for being flexible with the timings.

We would definitely recommend you to any of our friends for functions in the future so hope to see you again sometime.

Andy and Zoë Burns (20 August 2007)

WOW - Just wanted to thank you and the rest of the band for last night [27th July]. It was absolutely superb and really made the whole day go with a bang. We were amazed with just how good everything was from the lighting, sound and of course the terrific music. We have had so many people comment on you and I think that you could tell by the packed dance floor that you went down a storm. Please feel free to quote me on the website and give my contact details to any prospective clients.

On another note thank you for superb communication throughout and your continued patience as I flustered along.

Thank you once again

Mr and Mrs Mussett (28 July 2007)

Just a little email to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding [30th June], Pete and I had a fabulous time and we thought you sounded amazing! A lot of people have written and told us how good they thought you were and my parents were just so pleased - they do love a brass section in bands!

Despite the rain we had a fabulous day and I hope that having to be pulled out of the mud didn't dampen your spirits at all. I would definitely recommend you to anyone that asks!!

Helen Broom (10 July 2007)

Just to say thank you again for Saturday [16th June] - it was such a lovely evening and everyone was saying how fantastic the band were. You all really made the night so thank you, thank you!

Please pass that message onto all the band, they were brilliant!

Juliet Stubbington (18 June 2007)

What a great night you gave us, thank you. Everyone had a wonderful time and thought you were all fantastic.

We haven't finished counting, but think we have raised over £850 for Hospiscare.

Thank you so much for your bands generosity, donating the £100 and bringing along so many friends to buy tickets.

Thanks to you all.

P.S. quote for your website!!

Where did you find the band, they're the next 'Joey the Lips'!

Philippa Greenslade (13 May 2007)

Outstanding night. Two new singers added to the mix has only improved the Loose Cannons.

We had them for the Uni's "Spring Social" and it was a superb evening - a few brave dancers got up from the word go - soon enough and sure enough the whole place was bopping. 2nd set (perhaps something to do with beer having loosened people's limbs) was especially good.

Really good variety of music.

Highly recommended for top notch entertainment.

Patrick Kennedy, University Of Exeter (26 April 2007)

Wow! What a night, absolutely fantastic, words cannot do them justice you have to be there to listen and to feel their music. The Loose Cannons really excelled themselves and brought the party alive, and Debbie the singer, what a voice, interacted with the audience all night. Their selection of songs got everyone up dancing; in fact, I could have danced all night. The friends, I've seen since who attended, have all remarked how brilliant the band and Debbie were, very professional, fun, exciting, just FAB. Thank you for such a wonderful birthday party.

Patrice Godfrey (24 April 2007)

Thank you from the RNLI

'Play that funky music'. You certainly did. What a night we all had. It was Trafalgar Day, and what could be more appropriate than to dedicate the evening to the RNLI. The people of Chudleigh, some young and some not so young, came out in droves to show their support. The band was The Loose Cannons Band and Chudleigh Town Hall was full to capacity to hear them. The people danced and sang and cheered to the bands large and varied repertoire of fantastic music and songs. It was a brilliant night, the music was great, everybody had a marvellous time and their generosity was tremendous.

The Teignmouth RNLI would like to thank you all. You raised the sum of £461 to help us to continue to save lives at sea.

Thank you

Roger Hawkins, volunteer Publicity Officer, Teignmouth & District RNLI Lifeboat Guild. (21 October 2006)

A great BIG thank you to the band for making our wedding reception Brilliant! We had the most amazing day & what a way to finish it off!

It has also been great to hear that the guests enjoyed the night as much as us!

Thankyou also for performing the two songs we asked for so well; 'Better together' was perfect! And what a song to finish with 'Everybody' got everybody up dancing!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You were fab.

Gemma & Rob xx (12 August 2006)

The 'Loose Cannons' played for our 40th birthday party in July and we are still living on our memories of this superb event. We had 120 friends coming to Devon from all over the country, some of whom we hadn't seen for years, so the music HAD to be good. Actually, it was ABSOLUTELY TOP!! I don't think there was a single person who didn't get up and boogie, and during the second set it was difficult to find space on the floor. We are still getting people contacting us to say how impressed they were with the band and how did we manage to find such a great one?

The icing on the cake had to be 'Everybody Needs Somebody' from the Blues Brothers, at the end. It was impossible to sit down by this stage.

The band were also really professional in their approach, from the set-up and sound manager, to the top-class musicianship.

Thanks SO MUCH guys. To any prospective clients: Grab this band NOW before they get too famous (and busy!) to do your gig. Top quality, top people, top tunes.

Sharon Lord (28 July 2006)

THANK YOU AND EXCELLENT!!!

Sums it up really. The Loose Cannons performed at our graduation ball. Despite the large range of people there, from all walks of life I think everybody got up to dance at least once (take it from me, that's one hell of an achievement!!)

The Loose Cannons are an excellent band, who provide a good and varied range of songs to dance to and sing your lungs out to.

Not only are they absolutely fantastic singers and players, their communication and organisational skills are spot on, which made organising the night a lot easier for me.

I really recommend these guys to any of you, for any occasion where you want a good old knees up.

Thank you to the Loose Cannons from me and the rest of my year for a fantastic night.

Anna Cranshaw, Student Union, University of Plymouth, Millbrook House. (04 June 2006)

I write in my capacity as the promoter of 'Villages in action' events in Chudleigh, of which I have quite a few years experience.

I'd like to recommend 'Loose Cannons' to you as a band who can lift your spirits, make you feel good, make you want to dance to them, sing to them (well, with them!). They have a varied repertoire of well known songs which they perform with gusto and talent. I personally have spent a great evening in their musical company, and would be happy for others to have that opportunity.

Lynnette Evans (28 March 2006)
