A big thank you to you and the Riffreshers. They were excellent. The feedback has been amazing. Glasgow are lucky to have them again at their ball. The dancefloor was full all night. I will send on any good photos once I receive them from the photographer. Thanks for all your help with our event. Paula @ Deloitte 5 October 2024

We had the best time on Saturday the band were flawless couldn't fault them. The dancefloor was never empty and we've had loads of compliments on them as well! Was a nice surprise looking through our guestbook and seeing they had also signed it and also discovering some of them come from the same town we live!! Pass on our thanks again and we hope they had the best time as well. ~ Lauren and Alec 20 July 2024

Hi Guys, Sorry it’s taken so long but just wanted to send a message to say thanks for performing at our wedding on the 13th of May at Glenskirlie We were blown away with how well everything went, we felt the dance floor was never empty and everyone kept complementing how good the band was. Not that I think you’ll need it but if there’s anywhere we can leave a review let us know. Thanks Cameron and Rachel

'Thank you so much... you made our wedding night run so smoothly. The volume was spot on, not too loud which made you music all that more enjoyable. I think it is testimony from how busy our dance floor was from start to finish that The Riffreshers are an incredible band, whom we will always remember as part of our special day and recommend to anyone in a heart beat!
