"The band were excellent. Really got the party going. They realised we were responding well to the Country music and they leaned into it and started playing more. It felt really dynamic and personal to us and we have had nothing but positive reports from our guests as well. Thank you."

"I honestly don't know where to start with the Borrowed Blues, the band was electric. I have had so many guests saying it was the best wedding band they had ever seen at a wedding. The song choices were full of classics that filled the dancefloor ALL NIGHT, not one lull, the band members themselves were so friendly and chatting to guests, they learned not one but two songs we love (a STUNNING cover of la vie en rose!), the musicians themselves are incredible, it was amazing just to sit back and listen/watch how impressive they were (which many guests were doing if they were not dancing). We didn't see the band before booking, we just knew we wanted a band that were a bit different and on the retro side, and omg they just blew our minds. I couldn’t fault the service at all. Our wedding was a beautiful day, but borrowed Blues really brought the fun and made the wedding. Truly will never be able to thank them enough for the best night of our lives. All our friends and family in one room dancing to rock, soul and blues! "
