"A massive thank you for the outstanding entertainment provided at my birthday party. You understood precisely what was needed and pitched the music superbly. It's always a worry that the band will drown out conversation but I needn't have worried. As a result the party was a resounding success. Almost every thank you note I received mentioned just how good were the band. Your lead singer is a real entertainer involving the audience and adding so much to the evening. I have no hesitation in recommending Candy Apple Blue. Great musicians, great singer and all round really nice people. You deserve to be successful. Please feel free, at any time, to use my name as a reference."

"Thank you for the wonderful performance Candy Apple Blue delivered at our wedding, 29-Jan-2011, at the Lansdowne club. The sound and lighting were fantastic. You showed great professionalism guiding us through the playlists, enabling us to make last minute changes to accommodate our timetable and calming our nerves :-). Your lead singer Steve was skillful at involving the crowd and you all kept our guests on the dance floor until the last song. It is a shame we could not carry on even later into the night. We were delighted that you would adapt to our desire for music during canapés and dinner, as well as integrating with the DJ to be the main focus of our evening entertainment. We received many compliments on our choice of band from our guests and club staff. We are happy to recommend your group to anyone who asks. We highly recommend Candy Apple Blue to others looking for a band to entertain their guests. With all our wishes for future success!"
