"Thank you to you and the rest of the band for such a fantastic set of music on Saturday. You guys are absolutely fantastic - best wedding band london!!!! So many people were asking how we found you and if they could have your contact details - perfect wedding reception music! What a cover band!" Lauren & Mitch, 27-03-16
"Loved every song the guys did – and, being a guitarist, was especially impressed and inspired by Vic’s virtuoso performance – so much so that from that night, I’ve hired him for weekly guitar lessons! The band all round are seriously talented musicians and for sure we’ll look to use them again at any excuse." David, 24-01-15
"We’ve used many signed, well-known bands before for company events and I would say Fortune – still love the name – match up with any in terms of talent and crowd reaction, a big thumbs up." Private Jet Brokerage, 11-12-15
"We weren’t sure what we wanted music wise so we left the whole night under Natalie’s supervision – and my goodness did she deliver – all the band were great – especially playing the old 70s numbers with a modern twist – a night we will never forget – they are already booked in to do our next family event!" Suzy & Ray, 28-09-15
