TESTIMONIALS

Moira and I would like to thank you and the band for your valid contribution towards a fantastic Birthday Party. Everyone enjoyed themselves so much, they have asked me to do it all again next year! Your attention to detail in the setting up of the on-stage equipment in good time and assisting me in surprising everyone with my own on-stage performance with the band, was very much appreciated. It went down a storm and got everyone up dancing. What a great night had by all! Once again, a big thank you to you and the band - Vertigo.

Gerry Lilley: Owner, Bayford Meadows Kart Circuit, Sittingbourne

You all did an absolutely brilliant job on Saturday. Everybody had great things to say about the band. We were so pleased that you performed for us - it gave the event loads of energy and fun - I don't think you could have done a better job. I hope you get some more bookings at The Marine and I hope some of the party-goers may book you, so I may get to come and enjoy the band again! Thanks again Jon, the band really added so much to the night.

Julie: Party, Marine Hotel, Whitstable

Thanks again for Saturday. The band was amazing and went down a treat. Exceeded expectations. Thank you for all of your professionalism in organisation. Hope you all got back ok. Cheers again.

Matt: Party, Tunbridge Wells

I just wanted to say that you guys were absolutely fantastic at the party on 15th June. We danced so much and had an absolute ball. So many of us have said that we need to have another party! Thank you for making the night extra fabulous with your fantastic music! I haven't stopped telling people how fantastic the band was - definitely one of the best that I have heard!

Gail: Party, Ashdown Forest

Vertigo were fantastic. Everyone at the party enjoyed the music and commented on how good every song was that you played. We hope to see you again soon at the next party!

Steve & Tracy Horton: Party, Maidstone

You know that feeling when you read rave reviews on a website and think they can't all be true, can they? Well, in your case we can confirm 100%, absolutely, definitely, that they are and here's one more for the list! We want to say a massive "Thank You" to you lads for playing at our wedding anniversary and birthday party on Saturday at the Robin Hood pub, you turned a great night into a fantastic one. The range of music you played was perfect for the mix of friends and family we had and the sound was really impressive. Best of all, you managed to get everyone up on the dance floor having fun (including the die-hard non-dancers!) and the shouts of "more" at the end only goes to show how much our guests enjoyed your performance. Everyone we have seen since the party, without exception, has said how brilliant the band was - what more can we say! Anyone reading this and wondering whether or not to book Vertigo, just go for it, you will be so pleased you did!!  All the very best to you.

Tim & Sue Atkinson: Party, Chatham

Great party. Absolutely top band. Thank you all so much. It was exactly what we had hoped for. We will definitely be back to the Old Vine next time you are playing there.

Myles & Jo: Party, Cousley Wood

Thank you to you! You were fab and really made the party. You went down a storm and everyone loved the music - I think you know that from their reaction! 'Better than Robbie Williams' (comment about Let Me Entertain You) is hard to beat, so let's leave it at that! All the best to you and the guys.

Mary Briggs: Party, Outwood Common

Thank you and the band for a splendid job last night. The only thing against you was the weather - it was too nice! I've had loads of feedback saying they enjoyed your music. Many thanks and see you in November.

Mark Howells: Freemasons Big300 Party, Maidstone

We booked Vertigo for our cricket club end of season party and they were simply FANTASTIC!!! For a start, Jon the band organiser is really easy to deal with and ensures that everything goes without a hitch (very reassuring when you are organising an event). As for the night itself, all the musicians are of excellent quality and Andy the front man has great charisma and really gets the audience going. Our dance floor was so full we had people dancing at the back round the tables! The range of music was perfect - all very familiar songs (mainly 80's based, as we had asked for), but they were a bit different - not the ones that normally get played at every party. Without doubt, Vertigo are the very best 'party' band I have ever seen, based on dozens of similar events. We will definitely be inviting them back to our next bash!

Helen Hiscocks: Function, Outwood Cricket Club

Vertigo provided the perfect finish to the perfect wedding day. The guests couldn't get enough of their music and the dance floor was packed throughout the evening. Jon was meticulous in the planning, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Vertigo has a wide repertoire to choose from and there was something to suit guests of every age and musical tastes. We have had many compliments on our choice of band from friends and family alike. Thank you Vertigo!

Charlotte & Paul Hope: Wedding, Frittenden
