Acceptable In The 80s

I've had nothing but praise from the management at Pret A Manger following your stunning performance at their Summer Party at Old Billingsgate last week. You had the dance floor packed from the first song and kept them there all night. The band were awesome and the front man keeping the audience fired up didn't go unnoticed. The events company who booked you said they would definitely book the band again and recommend you to anyone looking for a great 80's band

Acceptable In The 80s

We booked Acceptable In The 80s for our Christmas party and what can I say? Firstly, the communication before the event was excellent and easy. We explained our requirements and they dealt with the rest. As for the evening what a great night. This is the band to pick if you want a full on party. The energy they put into their performance just made you want to get up and join in. I would not hesitate to book these guys again

They were superb! Great personalities and got the attendees up on the dance floor with some live singing from the audience as well. Very likeable and professional musicians and a great repertoire and were very well received by the delegates and would certainly book them again!”
