After every event, the band's management send a 'satisfaction survey' to the client.
Here is a small selection of the thousands of GENUINE comments we've received.

"We were delighted to be serenaded in the street prior to the reception. Everyone we spoke to commented most favourably (including passers by in the street!) There is no doubt that the band added enormously to the success of our wedding reception. Many thanks to all concerned." Wedding - James & Alison Hargreave (The Bride & Groom)

"The band were waiting to greet our customers as they arrived which was lovely. They looked immaculate and many people commented on how much fun they were. Mad Dog & The Sophisticates were everything we'd hoped for and we will certainly recommend them to others."
Dixon Motor Holdings Ltd (Car Launch)

"Everyone loved them. Our guests commented that they had never seen a band as good."
Mount St Mary's College

"Superb. Please thank the band and congratulate them on helping make the event a success. The band's roll was a key one and they won everyone over (including our International guests)."
Craiglands Hotel

"We cannot praise the Martin Jones Band enough as they entertained exactly as we imagined and helped to make our wedding day perfect. We were impressed by their impromptu playing for my elderly grandparents which made their day. We also found them friendly and happy to mix and talk to our guests during the breaks. We liked the way they moved around the guests whilst playing but still ensured they were background entertainment and it was our day. We'd like to thank them for helping to make our day so special". Wedding - Joanna Zwenstra (The Bride) "10 out of 10. Expect to receive a booking from the Uni's Vice Chancellor Mr Drewery as he and his wife were very impressed and are going to get in touch for a private event." University of Hull (Graduation Ceremonies)

"Thank you for attending our event and entertaining `The Troops' as they arrived we estimate 10,000 attended and we had a wonderful day."
Mothers Union

"An excellent band. I wish we had another daughter to marry off so we could hire them again!"
Wedding - Carol Reynette-Jones (Mother of the Bride)

"The band really broke the ice and got our crowd in a party mood".
Humberside TEC Ltd

"The band could not have done a better job. The fire alarms went off in the hotel, so they even played outside to keep the mood going - and everyone soon forgot about the cold."
Holiday Inn

"I would like to thank Martin and his team for making our daughter's wedding celebrations go with a swing, especially the New Orleans pavement entertainment as we got out of the wedding cars. The band must play hundreds of gigs, but they played and acted as if this day was a one off."
Wedding - Patricia Baker (Mother of the Bride)

"First class entertainment. Contributed greatly to the atmosphere of fun and happiness at our celebration. Brilliant."
Silver Wedding - Margaret & Philip Brocklesby

"Absolutely brilliant. Martin was wonderful. The American guests were knocked out!" East Midlands Conference Centre "MAGNIFICENT - Need I say more!!!" York Racecourse "Brilliant - couldn't believe the 2 acts were 1 band!" Wedding - Hannah Shariati (The Bride)

"Many of the guests commented on the very high standard of performance and enjoyment of this band. The hotel staff who organise functions almost every weekend of the year said they were the best band they had ever had there".
Retirement Party for Jeremy Wainwright

"Mad Dog and the band kept everyone entertained during what is the most boring time for the guests - the photos!!! Everyone commented on how marvellous they were!"
Wedding - Jarrod Carter (Father of the Bride)

"I could not have asked for a better accompaniment to the drinks reception. Our guests are still talking talking about them and our event was 2 weeks ago!"
Cundall Manor School

"The entertainment was superb! Superb musicians, as well as being extremely polite and friendly - the trumpet player especially!"
Masonic Evening

"They played us out of our wedding car on arrival, what a fantastic feeling! The brought the sunshine with them, bright waistcoats on a cloudy day! Very smart, great music, smiling faces and a wonderful atmosphere. Everyone danced on the lawn and they kept everyone amused through hours of photos. Our guests loved it and they set the scene brilliantly. They made it lighthearted and happy - and showed everyone a great time. We were worried it might have been over the top to have a band playing outside when everyone arrived and were concerned that the younger generation might not enjoy it as much. We were SO wrong with any doubts we have had. They were fantastic fun and really set the tone for the rest of the day - brilliant. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone! Give us a few years and we will have them at the christening"
Wedding - Fiona Welton (The Bride)
