Testimonials

"I wanted to thank the band from the bottom of my heart for performing the most brilliant set on our wedding day on the 22nd December. The comments that we received afterwards from guests were that the band was exceptional, and I would totally agree! The energy and effort that went into the performance (and the travel time getting there) meant so much to me and my husband. We have already recommended the band to a few friends of ours, and happy to keep promoting them, as they were so brilliant! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" - Jessie and Sam

"Simon and me would like to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding! You were amazing and we've had so many people say, 'wow the band were incredible'!! You really made the evening and created such a fun and lively atmosphere that got everyone (even the usual non-dancers) dancing!!! We seriously can't thank you enough. Thank you again" - Grace and Simon

"I have to say that was the best evening I could imagine. It was my daughters wedding and Goosebumps were totally amazing. Professional, slick, attentive and magnificent! They carried the whole evening with aplomb! They listened to what my daughter and son in law requested and delivered it with panache. Can't recommend them enough xxxx" - Sharon Jackson

"Just wanted to send you a HUGE thank you for playing at our wedding last Saturday. You truly were superb! All our guests commented on just how brilliant you are and asked for your details - which I passed on. You really made our first dance special too.

"Hi Mark & Ben and the rest of the Goosebumps. Our apologies for the delay in writing this. We want to extend are sincerest thanks to you for playing at our wedding party last Saturday. You were absolutely great and many, many of our guests commented on just how good you were - including a number from Abbey Road Studios who have heard quite a few bands in their day. There were also a number of people who had heard you before not just from Faversham but also those Lindy-Hoppers who said you've played at some of their events as well. They were all happy to see you again and impressed that we got you to play at our wedding party. James Clark, of Carlton House Terrace also commented that you were one of the easiest bands he has ever worked with and he was very impressed by your professionalism. The word has spread around and I hope that it results in new gigs for you. So thanks once again, you were instrumental (!) in making our party the success it was and we hope to hear you again at some other venue - perhaps Faversham. Yours sincerely" - Wayne and Bridget

"Just a quick note (in a more sober state!) to say many thanks to you and the rest of the band for creating such a great atmosphere at the party last night.

Hope to see you down at Pizza Express in Maidstone sometime soon. Thanks again and all the best." - Paul, GVE Commercial Solutions

"Apologies for taking so long to get in touch but Ed and I wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for playing at our wedding on 25th July. You guys went down an absolute storm! People couldn't believe we'd just found you on Google and the fact everyone kept asking if you were coming back after the second set says everything!! Once again, thank you so much for making it such a fun and memorable evening. We will be sure to get in touch if we decide to throw a party for whatever reason again!" - Hannah and Ed

"I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the fantastic job your band did in entertaining the guests at our recent Gala Dinner. Goosebumps performed with such spirit and energy and your music is both infectious and uplifting. As such, thank you for your contribution in making the event such a success. We have received extremely positive feedback from all those in attendance and we hope that the evening will provide a real boost to the recognition of this charity's important work. We raised over £10,000 on the night- money that will directly help us to achieve our mission of negating the effects of landmines worldwide. On behalf of the Find A Better Way Board Of Trustees, I wish you well in your future endeavours and I hope I have the pleasure of watching your band perform again in the future. Yours sincerely" - Sir Bobby Charlton CBE, Legendary Footballer, Founder & Trustee of Find a Better Way Charity

With best wishes," - Alison Senior Partner The St. James's Place Partnership

"All of our guests commented on the band and you were really the highlight of our party ("The band was really special" was the comment from everybody the day after). Even the people who did not come on the dance floor, enjoyed the music tremendously. So a big thank you for what you did." - Caroline and Judy

"Totally awesome band - got everyone going and really made the night. We were extremely satisfied with Goosebumps; elated to be precise. They arrived promptly and set up quietly without disturbing our wedding breakfast. We had a short gap before the evening reception which is when they sound checked, and even that sounded good. After playing our first dance through the PA as it was a slightly unusual choice (Together You & I - Dolly Parton), we requested that the first song they play was "Rock around the Clock" as Emma and her dad used to dance to it when she was a child. They were the first on the dance floor and then everyone joined in. It was a great start to the evening and really got everyone rocking. The band knew exactly where to pitch the sets to keep the atmosphere going, and we have had no end of comments about how fantastic the band were. They added some funk tracks in to the last set, which kept the party going right till the end. We just bought their CDs too and currently listening to them whilst going through the wedding pics!" - Emma and Marek

"Goosebumps were an absolutely amazing swing band playing in my lounge at my 50th Birthday party. All my friends and family have commented on how terrific they were - the skilled musicianship and Mark's powerful fantastic vocals and their fun loving cheeky personality. They adapted songs for me, allowed my friend to sing a couple of numbers with them and enabled my son to perform a surprise saxophone solo with them which had me in tears as I was so proud! To summarise, I would say Goosebumps will make a success of any party/event and will definitely get the party going! I would highly recommend them." - Geetha and John

"You guys were great!! Thank you so much x" - Kelly Brook TV Presenter, actress and model

We have and will continue to thoroughly recommend you and will come and see you in concert soon. Many thanks and Blessings," - Ollie and Becky

"Just a quick (belated) note to thank you and the rest of the band for performing at our wedding in June. We had an absolutely fantastic time and heard nothing but praise for you from the rest of the guests. A couple of them have since been asking for your details, so hopefully you should get some repeat business out of it all. Thanks again, it really made our night." - Sophie and Doug

"Just a quick message to say thank you so much for a fantastic evening on Saturday. You guys were brilliant, the music was spot on and everyone has commented on how great you were. We will definitely be recommending you to others in the future!" - Naomi and Oscar

"I’ve just got back from honeymoon and wanted to send you and the band a quick email to say a big THANK YOU for playing at our wedding on 14th June. You guys were amazing and everyone had a brilliant time dancing about. I was also loving the drum solo from my brother in law with you all – he mentioned you came and spoke to him after. Thanks again and hope you guys had as much fun as we did." - Kelly and Chad

"Just wanted to say, came to The Pheasantry on 23rd February, what a fantastic evening. Your music and sheer energy blew us away AMAZING!! Bought the cd and have signed up to your newsletter so I know where to find you for more. Fantastic....Thank you." - Mary

"Just wanted to say a big thank you for Saturday night at Charlton Park.

You were brilliant! Regards," - Debbie Thomas

"Thank you so much for the amazing performance that you put on at our wedding. The evening was truly brilliant! The music and the energy that you put into getting the party started was fantastic. We have received so many wonderful comments about you but most importantly Paul and I loved every minute of dancing to your music! I would thoroughly recommend Goosebumps as a band at the evening wedding receptions of family and friends. At every stage of the planning and prep you were accommodating and helpful with all of my many enquires! Thank you so very very much, all our best wishes," - Eleni and Paul Masters

"I would like to thank you for doing such a great job for Sarah and Basil's wedding at Lympne Castle. Everyone, from the oldest guest at 83 to the youngest at 18 months, thoroughly enjoyed the 'gig' and, as well as all the usual keen and enthusiastic dancers, there were people dancing who normally would have to be dragged screaming onto the floor! A great achievement - thank you very much. With best wishes," - Carol McCarthy

"Within minutes of opening, Goosebumps had a packed dance floor and this did not let up for three whole sets. The music was fantastic and they played as hard as our party danced! We could not have asked for any more from them." - Richard Oswald

"Goosebumps were AMAZING. Would recommend them for any function!" - Tobyn Excell

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding at Selsdon Park Hotel. You all helped create a fantastic atmosphere and everyone was raving about your music and theatricality! Our guests of all ages were out on the floor. It's quite a gamble choosing a band that you've never heard perform before but you guys were great fun. We had so many comments from friends saying their boyfriends who never usually dance actually took to the floor at our reception!" - Natalie and Adrian

"I would like to thank Goosebumps on behalf of the Royal Free Hospital for making our staff recognition event such a success! We will definitely be booking this band again!" - Rosie

"We had an absolutely brilliant time! Goosebumps were amazing and really made our party a great success. From their arrival Mark, Adam, Chris, Ben and Nick were very personable and friendly. They were here well before their expected time. They were so flexible in their start and finish times due to us having to hold up lunch because friends were stuck in traffic on the motorway. The background music during lunch was unobtrusive and when the evening started the marquee came alive with a real buzz! So many of our guests said how brilliant they were, they even had to do an encore!! What talented young men! I'd love to be organising another 'Do' just to have them here again!! Best wishes" - Cerys & Graham

"My party was a great success, and everyone there, including all the hotel staff who lingered at the back to listen, loved the band. They were without exception professional and great musicians. They exceeded expectations and delivered a professional performance which was fun and full of energy. " - Jane

"We just wanted to thank you for the absolutely fantastic music you provided at our wedding. EVERYBODY has since said how brilliant you were although they needn't have as it was quite evident when, at the end of the evening, they were all on their feet demanding more!! You provided some stonking tunes and created exactly the tone we had hoped for. Have no doubt - you'll be seeing more of us at your gigs! With very best wishes and sincere gratitude." - Rebecca & Mark

"I think you guys are a lot of fun – this is without doubt the most enjoyable live band I have edited" - Geoff Cockwill Silvertip Films

"We just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to you all for playing at our wedding. We were so impressed by you all - you looked fab - and the music really was fabulous. So many people said so and we can't thank you or praise you enough! Thanks again." - Amy and Charlie

"The divine Goosebumps played The Swing joint in Caterham on 7th May and blew us ALL away! Absolutely brilliant night! We would have no hesitation in welcoming you back! Nay, we would positively relish it! One guest said on his way out ' The best yet! Thanks Guys." - Julie & Mark

"Booking Goosebumps was the component that made our Party. They had the whole party dancing and enjoying themselves in no time. Nothing was too much trouble for them and I definitely will be booking them again - they made our night a complete success" - Paul, Trac Group

"Goosebumps were the "clotted cream on the scone" at our Afternoon Tea Dance wedding reception. We cannot thank you enough for your amazing performance, great humour and helping us create a day that was timeless. You provided the music score to an eternal memory, I only have to listen to the first few notes of 'Pennies from Heaven' from your CD, close my eyes and it hits all 5 senses as I live the day over again. Goosebumps in one word - OUTSTANDING!!!" - Hanna and James

"Hello guys. I just wanted to thank you so much for playing at our christmas party, everyone has commented on how brilliant the band was and how much they enjoyed the evening!! Thanks so much and we will definitely be asking you back again!! Thanks" - Lucy

"Thanks again for a fantastic performance on Saturday - our boss was tuned in, and made a point of saying how good you and the guys were, so I've suggested we use you again for our stand at the Kent County Show later this year. He said it was a good idea and would keep you in mind. I will do my best to get along to your CD launch, but if I can't make it.........Have a fantastic night!!!!!!!!! Best wishes" - Pat Marsh, BBC Radio Kent

"Just to say a bit thank you for helping my 50th Birthday party to go with a 'Swing'! Everyone has said how much they enjoyed your music - and most people got up at some point and had a dance. Will certainly keep you in mind for any other 'land-mark' celebrations in the future, and we hope you get some future bookings out of it. Regards" - Barbara & Les

"Both Clare and I wanted to thank you all so very much for a great performance at our wedding on the 20th December! It was exactly what we wanted and without any doubt made the day perfect and one to remember! Everyone I have spoken to since has said "what a brilliant band!" So thank you guys for topping off a fantastic day, (with particular reference to our opening song, I'm just sorry my dancing didn't do your music justice!) I know we will be seeing you again in the near future at one of your gigs!" - Matt and Clare

"Just a line to say thanks a million for your contribution to the Hop Festival this year. As before, you went down a storm and your show was soooo professional that people are talking about it in the street! A cracking set and sharp presentation, too. Again, many thanks for helping make the festival really work." - Mary

"To all the guys. We would just like to say a massive thank you for making our wedding so special. All of our guests remarked on how great you were. We hope to come and see one of your gigs soon." - Vickie & Dom

"We just wanted to thank the Goosebumps for playing at our wedding last month and helping make it such a fantastic night. After seeing you play at the Brewery Bar in Whitstable we knew you guys were the perfect band for our wedding. When you play together you create a really fun atmosphere which had almost everybody dancing at some point or other in the evening. Thank you for waiting for my mum to come back before you started with our first dance. I think we might be coming down to Faversham for the Hop festival next Sunday and if we do we'll make sure to come and see you at one of your gigs. So thanks again to all the band for putting on such a great set for us and for just generally being fab." - David & Rebecca

"I am sorry that it has taken me a little while to write to thank you all for such an excellent performance at my party. Everyone who has spoken to me about the party was complimentary about your band and you exceeded all my hopes of the dance floor being filled! I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone, and am just trying to talk my husband into another party so that I can ask you to play again! Kind regards" - Innis
