“You guys are fab!"
The Claremont Project
"I just wanted to write to say thank you so very much for your wonderful performance on Friday! I’m sure you were aware just how much our members enjoyed themselves. The question “Can you get them back?” was repeated to me countless times and I promised I would pass on the members' appreciation."
Alfie & Gemma, Private Wedding
"Ben and the band absolutely smashed it. Couldn't recommend them more highly. They are brilliant musicians, picked a great set list, and were very helpful and communicative in the build-up. 10/10!"

"The Thumping Tommys recently performed at our national launch event at the Southbank Centre and they were outstanding. They were talented, fun and a major talking point for the evening."
