Testimonials

“The band was fantastic! It was the icing on the cake for a beautiful wedding. The music was excellent, varied and lively! Despite the stunning weather, as soon as the band kicked off our guests were straight inside! Really dancey and appealing to the varied ages of our party. You were all very helpful from start to finish, many thanks for helping us celebrate our wedding and we will definitely book you when we next get married!!!!”
James and Nicola Pearson

“I would like to thank the band for a terrific performance on the night of Simon's 21st. Let me tell you that you are far better than you can hear over the internet!! We were all very pleased with you and had loads of complimentary comments from guests. Many thanks for your contribution to a very successful evening”.
Carole Hawtin

“The Double Measures were absolutely fantastic & made the evening of our wedding the best I could have hoped for. They played a great range of music which kept everyone from ourselves to our parents generation and older keep dancing for the entire night! They were energetic, enthusiastic and amazing musicians & I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. Thanks again for the fantastic music - everyone has been making comments about the how excellent you were!”
Hilary Nelson-Parker

“Hi Steve just to say a massive thankyou to you and the rest of the double measures. Your effort and professionalism was just what we required for our wedding. All our guests have commented on how good the band was. Both the choice of music and your style were perfect. We look forward to seeing you at a function in the future and we will certainly be recommending you to our friends”
Mr & Mrs Limbourne

“Just a quick note to thank you for Friday night. You all really made the party and everyone had a great time. You may also get a few extra bookings in the next few months, because four couples in the room are planning their weddings!!”

You guys ROCK... and my client, Rick Finch (co-founder of KC and the Sunshine Band) LOVES your version of "Get Down Tonight" that's playing on YouTube - says it's the best he's heard from any band that's performing KCSB covers.
I know how high his standards are, so that's quite a compliment! Do you guys do any original songs?
