Reviews
“BEST BAND WE COULD EVER HAVE ON OUR WEDDING DAY!
Thank you Tracy & Old Skool band for an amazing night of dancing and celebration at our wedding. Your music and enthusiasm got everyone up and dancing all night long. You created an unforgettable party atmosphere which we and our guests will never forget.
Thank you again for all those special memories we will treasure forever."
Mr & Mrs Eldridge
“BEST BAND WE HAVE EVER HAD!
We chose the band as we wanted something different and a little more special for our wedding and thought what better than a 7 piece band. They had the dance floor filled the entire set and every member of the band were so involved and invested in making sure it went well. Their set had a good array of songs which enabled all guests to get involved. We had our wedding at home so organised it all ourselves and yet didn't even know they had turned up as they discretely set up without any interruptions. We had so many guests commenting on how good they were and how it made their night. We are eternally grateful for Old Skool being a big contribution to making our day so special. Definitely will be booking in the future."
