Hi guys! I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to you for your amazing performance at our Prom last night. Everyone said how incredible you were! The dance floor was already packed, but when you played 'I Predict A Riot', I thought we were going to have to move tables to make more room! I will definitely be recommending you to the next year's prom committee Thank you so much. Fran McCord

We just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Dave and the band members for their outstanding performance. Loads of our guests told us how fab you were and the fact that I (The bride) didn't leave the dance floor all night reflects how fantastic you were. Sweet Child O' Mine was a big hit and Mr and Mrs Jones was sung brilliantly and got a big cheer from the crowd. You certainly put the cherry on the cake to a fab day. Thank you and we wish you every success for the future. Don't loose the personal touch. love Saj & Chris

John  Sinclaire	19 Oct 07 20:56:54

Hi, came across your website by chance looking for John Milgate, but love the sound. I would add you to our website any day www.arcents.co.uk if you want to check us out. Best wishes Carol

Milly  Jerram	20 Jan 07 17:26:06
A big thanks to the whole band for a fantastic performance at our wedding last weekend. Many people commented on how much they enjoyed the live music, you were just what we'd hoped for. Can't believe the most popular tune of the night was Living on a Prayer but there we go! Thanks again, Milly and Terry

Martyn  Bullard	03 Jan 07 12:10:08
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Les, Dave and the guys for making our wedding evening so special. Anyone looking to book a band for their wedding should look no further than Watts n Whiffin!.... thank you so much! best regards, Martyn & Sarah (25 November 2006 - Ellingham Hall) p.s. thank you also for the two songs you let me "help out" on - it made my night!!

Jane  Brown	22 Dec 06 11:31:30
A huge thank you to you and the rest of the band for your performance last night at the Aquila Way Ball. You were fantastic!! Everyone we've spoken to has at some point mentioned how good the live music was, and to get that many people up and dancing from the start was just amazing! Thank you for helping to make the night so memorable!!

ronnie  lambert	13 Dec 06 18:46:41
Les,just stumbled across this site, how are you and the family? Hope you are all well. Pete Wingfield just left Albert Lee's great band and you are the next best I've heard . Hope you forgave my sorry inebriated display at the Fox, I was well into a breakdown and didn't know it, but I'm better now. Best wishes 'dude'.Ron

Louise  Blight	15 Oct 06 10:06:38
Hi there, I was wondering if you could tell me where your next gig is as I am getting married next June and am looking for a function band but would like to hear you first. Thanks

Hi fellas, just wondering when we can catch a freebe at the Magie Bank this year. After you entertained everyone at our wedding last June we are now ready for our next fix. Didn't realise this facility was available on the website or we would have left a message earlier - If you're looking for a LIVE band, you've just found them. These boys know how to entertain and everyone at the wedding had a fantastic night!!! Can't wait to catch you again soon. Chris and Diane.

Danielle  Milgate	09 Jan 06 22:31:26

Leanne  Taws	20 Sep 05 17:04:08
I think the piano player is really sexy!!!!!!!

Uwe  Michael	02 Aug 05 22:56:17
In your band there is one of the best trombone player I ever heard. He is playing now better as he played some years ago in Germany. And this is not my opinion after some beers, I have known him a long time when he was a trombone player in the british Army in Germany. I wish him and his band all the best and a lot of work.

Red  T	22 Jun 05 12:36:22
Can't believe messages appear on the web site so quickly, and without censorship. That is just ######### amazing

Red  T	22 Jun 05 12:33:45
Just been browsing the site, I'm well impressed by the feedback you get these days. Like to say thanks to those who come down to the Magnesia Bank to see the band and put their comments forward. Of course we have to thank all of the band for their continued support for the venue and look forward to your return in July.

Delight Full  Decor	12 Jun 05 17:15:33

8 months after the wedding and guests are still complimenting the band! Thank you so much for making the best day of my life even more magical. The band was perfect.

Michelle  Anderson	24 Feb 05 13:15:00

DAVE  ELLIOTT	29 Oct 04 20:50:17
F.A.O. JOHN MILGATE. HEY BIG MAN IF YOU GET THIS GIVE ME A SHOUT SOME TIME. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU. GLAD TO NOTICE THAT YOU ARE DOING WELL. ALL THE FOURS.

richard  rutherford	11 Oct 04 09:36:25
Dave, It was great to see you and Susan last night at Lumly. I assume you recommended us for the gig so thanks for that. I came looking for you after our second set but you must have gone. When we went on to do the last set there was only three guests left, so we played them one song each and finished early. See you soon, Rich

Rob  McDougal	09 Oct 04 13:24:50
Hello! I am in the same operatic society as Nick Lee who has also put a message in your guestbook. Your music is fantastic and what a great sound.i have an extremely slow computer but i still spent ages downloading all the songs and they are fab. Keep up the good work! Rob ps You rule John!!!

David  Faulkner	05 Oct 04 15:04:03
Thanks for an excellent performance at our wedding on the 19th September. Had some great feedback and reviews. May consider divorce and remarriage just to rebook you. Hoping to make the trip to North Shields to see you perform again. Best wishes David and Glenda.

hello! Big John conducts for the operatic society I am in, and he gave me one of your business cards, saying that I should have a look at your site, and needless to say I am impressed! I downloaded a good few of the songs that you have on here, and you have a great sound! I only wish that I was getting married, or had an event that I could book you for! Well maybe one day the time will come! Anyway, keep up the good work, and keep up the funkyness!! (and anyone reading this, download the songs!)

Hi you big lick kicking brutes! Thank you for everything you did to make my wedding a very special occassion! You were as perfect as i knew you would be and i have received many compliments which are too many to attempt to relay to you here. You are a fantastic band in every way. The rhythm (although i was disappointed to see that Simon was absent (however brilliant his replacement was))section was fab with John producing slabs of funk worthy of Satan himself!! The brass section was immense and really cuts you above the rest. But of course the cherry on the cake was Dave (with slick vocals and sything solos) and Les (my good friend, with a voice of an angel and displays of digital dexterity that you have to be born with, you can't learn). What more can i say you crazy kids? Keep on rocking and Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Simon & Joanne Bridge For your love.....

Michelle  McGregor	03 Sep 04 19:42:05
Just a quick note to say that you made our wedding reception so memorable, and for that we're very grateful! We've never seen so many of our family and friends dance so much. We'll always remember how special Watts n Whiffin made our night of 7th February 2004. Thank you Adam and Michelle McGregor xx

Jacqueline  Spoors	27 Aug 04 18:48:37
Hi, just a quick note to say you made our wedding evening very special. Everybody was very impressed and danced all night. Cheers. Love Jackie & Brendan Spoors 7th August 2004

Brian and Sue  Richardson	21 Jul 04 19:02:28
Hi Les Many Thanks for a great night! Your band really made our wedding special. Everyone is still raving about how much they enjoyed the band and what a good time they had. We will definitely be recommending you to all our friends. Hope to see you again soon.

Andrew  Stout	04 May 04 09:48:53
nice site, Les, looks good. I didn't know you lot had played with so many big names. Especially Simon Ferry playing with Bowie (I'm a big fan). I'll bet you looked good in lycra, red hair and shaved eyebrows :)

STEPHEN  WALKER	12 Apr 04 13:18:33

Big J please get in touch.

SPOT ON  ENTERTAINMENT	14 Mar 04 00:36:18
Haven't been in touch with the band for a while but just visiting the site makes me think of parties and more parties. What a great sound and if they cover weddings and corporate events too you can't fail to be impressed by this band.

Sam  Milgate	26 Jan 04 14:25:09
Hiya Guyz and a big Hi to my Dad "Big John" just been to visit your site must say its great. Take care everyone luv Sam xx

Dave  Whiffin	07 Dec 03 20:39:36
Not sure what you mean Steven? We used to play in Brendan's band sometimes but he was never a member of our band. Brendan is still doing well with his comedy and acting. He also appears fairly regularly with John Miles (Tina Turners guitarist and writer of the 70's hit "Music").

Steven  Brown	16 Nov 03 18:05:35
What ever happened to brendan, did you sack him or something?
