WEDDINGS & PARTIES

 

THIS IS A CRACKER !!

 

Hi Pete,

 

Been on honeymoon, sorry for the delay.

 

We are just dropping you a line regarding our wedding on the 7th June 2008 at Hodsock Priory, Blyth.

 

When we first decided to have a live band instead of a DJ, we did our research. We saw several bands, mainly at the Walkabout in Sheffield.  Our aim was to find a band who could play and actually sing, and who had a set list to please everyone at our wedding.  It was never going to be easy as our musical taste is predominantly heavy metal.  It turned out to be a tall order.  Some had the set list, but could not sing their way out of a paper bag! Some could play and sing, but had next to no interaction with the audience.  Some were just plain awful.  After a good few months of looking Junction 34 played at the walkabout, and we made the “sober” decision that night to book them.  We had seen what they could do in the walkabout with drunken 20yr olds, and our expectations were high, but could they play a smaller venue, with less people, whose average age was about 40 and still get them going?

 

We need not have worried.  Junction 34 were quite simply awesome.  They totally exceeded our expectations and instead of being the “bit in the day” that we were not sure about, they turned it into “the bit in the day” that nobody can stop talking about.

“That band was brilliant” “Where did you find that band?” “They played a real mix of stuff” “There was something for everyone”   Are just some of the quote’s we have had.  We had been winding up our guests that we had booked a heavy metal band for the night (something actually believable if you know us), and when Teresa told the band they even joined in.  Graham started by saying to the audience “it’s an unusual booking for us to do a wedding as were actually a heavy metal covers band, introduced  the band as “Satan’s Knives”  and began playing the first few bars of Metallica’s Enter Sandman.  I will never forget the look on our guests faces, they were horrified.  It was perfect.  After about 10 seconds they stopped and started for real. Our guests realised they had been duped, and the night began.  The band played some great songs, the dance floor was never empty and the atmosphere was electric.  They were really friendly and approachable and even altered the set list to accommodate my new wife’s need for a bit of Green Day later on in the second set.

Its 2 weeks  after the event and people are still talking about the band.  Our wedding day went without a single thing going wrong and Junction 34 finished it off in true style.  If anyone is thinking of booking this band, just do it.  You will not get a more professional, capable and talented band and they really know how to interact and work with an audience.

 

Please pass on our many thanks to the band, they were truly wonderful.  My wife and I can’t thank the band enough.  A great day was turned into a fantastic one that we will never forget.

 

All the best

Adrian & Teresa Mottram

Once again those lads have out done themselves! It was absolutely amazing and everyone said how incredible they were. I have no doubt it will not be long before I see them again somewhere, and I certainly hope last night will get them a lot of repeat business for other friends weddings, as well as just parties!!

Please thank them all very much on behalf of Rachel and myself, those guys truly do rock!!!

Hi Peter,

The band were absolutely brilliant, brilliant , brilliant, a refreshing, up to date alternative to your normal wedding bands, which was exactly what we wanted. They were fantastic and seemed genuinely a nice bunch of lads. They got all the blokes up dancing which was good, don't think I have ever seen Rob dance so much, and they didn't even flinch when a few of more 'excited' ones fell on the stage. Everybody commented how good they were and have asked for your details. We hope to come and see them next time they play in Sheffield.

Many thanks, and feel free to use our comments.

Peter,
 
Absolutely brilliant, we couldn't have asked for better. Everyone commented on how good the band was. We and everyone there will be recommending the band at any opportunity and we will no doubt see them again at one of our or one of our friends/family occasions.
 
Many thanks

Hi Pete

Thanks for checking back in and sorry for the delay in coming back to you.  We've just got back from our honeymoon.
The guys were great and really got the party going.  Just like I remembered them from the work AGM.
Did they find everything ok?  I appreciate there were a couple of teething problems on the night with sound checks etc but I'm not sure that any of the guests noticed!
Thanks again for sorting it all out.  We'll recommend the band to others for the future

Just to add to that, that the band were absolutely AMAZING!  We kept getting comments all night that the band were fantastic, and everyone at work today has also said that they really rocked.  I was getting quite stressed as the speeches had overrun and the DJ's speaker had broken, but as soon as the guys got going everything was alright.  I was on the dance floor all night and ended up a very sweaty bride!
 Thanks for all your help, and please pass on to the band our extra special thanks as well.

Hi,

Thought I’d drop you an email to say how great you were at Mark and Katies wedding in Bingley on Saturday. We all had a fantastic night and loved each song you did. As you know the dance floor was packed and the place was bouncing from the continuous dancing and singing. Everyone was talking about how good you were the following morning and I’m still buzzing from a great night of entertainment. So a big thankyou !

" Everything went fantastic - the band were absolutely brilliant, and got the crowd worked into some sort of dancing frenzy. Lots of people told us that they were excellent the morning afterwards, and I think quite a few people thanked them on the night too. REALLY REALLY pleased we booked them, we wouldn't have changed a single thing about it - thanks Pete Mark

"Just a note to say I was at the Macdonald's function on Saturday night and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance you guys put on !! Do you do your own material as well? And apart from Walkabout Sat could you send me your future gig listings

Cheers Sarah


Dear Junction 34

Thank you for playing at our wedding anniversary. You helped create a great atmosphere and it was really enjoyable. We got lots of guests asking us who you are and where you play? As they would love to listen to you again, would you let us know of the dates you will be in Sheffield. Thank you again and for making our night special and memorable.

Best wishes to you all

CORPORATE

Hi Pete
Everything went great thanks. The guys did themselves proud again and I've
had lots of praise for them from staff already. There was even a bit of
friendly audience participation. It is probably our plan to go for the same
theme for next year's annual party - would they be up for it? If so it would
be 24th or 31st January.

Dear Graham

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for a fantastic performance at our London Christmas party on Thursday 8l December. You really did make the night. True to his word, Andrew my managing director, has asked me to send you a further £250 as he was totally thrilled with your act and especially as he was the one that found you!! (He'd seen you play at the Walkabout in Birmingham).

Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the band and have a good few beers on us! We will no doubt be calling you next year to book you for a similar event. I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and a very prosperous New Year!

Yours sincerely

Tracey Calcutt Marketing Manager Mayflex
