Well what can say ....we had the most amazing wedding day but the band ‘The Essential Drifters’ were the icing on the cake !!! From the moment they started singing, everyone got up on the dance floor and they never sat down again. They were true entertainers and such great guys. I can honestly say they were fantastic and everyone that I’ve seen since the wedding have nothing but praise for them. If you want a really memorable night book them you won’t be disappointed ❤️
Excellent performance by the band - everybody loved them! Lovely guys too. Thank you for a fab night.
This is the second time I've booked the Drifters. Over all, from dealing with Hire a band agency, flexability, manners both from agency and the guys from the Drifters, all second to none...I would recommened to anyone in the future for bookings etc... The feed back that I have recieved from the show with regards to the Drifters has been fantastic. Everyone had a fantastic afternoon, it will be remembered for along time to come. Vocals were something else, I would have no hesitation in having them back in the near future. From the shows success I managed to reach my target for the sahara desert in aid of enable scotland. A big thank you to you all. Bernadette Telfer
