Testimonials
Kate and Sparky
Friends of ours recommended "the Great Little Band" for their singing, harmonies and wide range of songs. We really didn't expect the bonus of the big full band sound as the night went on and the dancing began. They were very modest chaps but we were amazed how Mart could play the drums with his feet while playing his guitar and singing too! A really great nights music".
Steve and Em
Our wedding was fantastic and Mart and Dave were the perfect choice for our day.We had a reasonably large wedding with guests of all ages.The lads kept everybody happy with something for everyone and i definitely think they helped to bring all the generations together for a great time.We booked them for an acoustic afternoon set and then a lively show for the evening.Thanks again to the Great Little Band. (and we've booked them again for our next big get together!)

Dear Martin and Dave
We both just wanted to say thank you so much for playing for us at our wedding reception and helping my friends out with the mike for their song etc... Thanks for being so easy going and good humoured to communicate with - we had a really great time and everyone thought you were so amazing. How did you create such a huge sound with just the 2 of you. You really are The Great Little Band!
So THANK YOU!
James and Sara
"The wedding was the most perfect day,and as for The Great Little Band, well I honestly can't think of enough ways to describe how totally incredible you were!!! You made the evening part of our wedding and people have been asking me non stop who you were. Thanks also for all your help. There was never a time throughout the wedding planning process when I didn't feel totally confident that everything was running smoothly where the entertainment was concerned".
Thanks So Much guys
