THE DAY COULD NOT HAVE GONE BETTER
‘I booked The Bounders Shanty Buoys as a surprise for my boyfriend for his 30th Birthday party, and I could not have been happier with my decision to do so. From the moment I first made the enquiry they were nothing but a pleasure to deal with. The actual day could not have gone better. They drove down early all the way from Suffolk to Surrey just to make sure they knew where to come and wouldn’t be late. Everyone absolutely loved them, they had the whole group up and dancing and singing along the entire time. We would have had them play all night if we could have. I would 100% recommend them and I am waiting for another opportunity to have them again.’
