TESTIMONIALS

A small selection from the many testimonials we have received

You are worth much more than I can pay you for a gig in my pub, but can you come back?

Landlord of Marshall's in Barnstaple Sunday 29 Jan
Thank you to The Alchemists for a great New Year's Party at the St Moritz Hotel this year. The guys were able to work with the limited space that we had and requests in terms of music based around the evenings events. It was so nice to not have to think about MC-ing midnight in as the band took care of this and were also able to play a relevant playlist during their breaks. The band played and played and exceeded our expectations in terms of commitment to ensuring that all our guests had a great night and not just doing the normal two 45 minutes sets and packing up and going home like most bands do. Our guests had a fantastic night and danced and sang along with the band until the very end! Judy Thorn Guest Host, St Moritz Hotel, Trebethwick. Cornwall

You are an outstanding band. I will definitely book you again - Vernon: Organiser Tiverton FC ( now booked for 12 May and 31 December 2012)

We booked the Alchemists for our wedding inJuly. We had never seen them live and based our decision on the website. We were more than happy with our choice. They were energetic and really made our evening special. Their set cut across the age range and everyone was on the dancefloor. I would highly recommend them. Nikki

"I really like your music. It includes material other bands don't do" - Brenda the Joiner's Arms landlady - and she books bands every week!

Thank you for an amazing night - you really made it into a party and was great to have a band who kept spirits up and had everyone dancing despite the rain!
You did a great job and we'd love to have you come back again next year...sorry to have missed you before you left - was a little woozy by that point that manners went out the window - hope you got off OK. Everyone was raving about you the next day!
Sophie Waldron - Meshaw party 27 August

THANK YOU!!! The Alchemists are great fun, play what you ask them to, and are very versatile. they are reall great guys, and most importantly their musicianship is eye-wateringly brilliant. All of our guests were blown away by how good the band was and commented on the quality level. Thank you, you made the party rock!
Louise Dunne, Dartmouth wedding 20th August

A huge thank you for playing at our wedding at the end of April. Because we were running late, we feel we missed the opportunity to make the most of your fantastic band, but we and our guests really enjoyed the music and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you ... in fact a few of our guests have already asked us for your contact details.
We really appreciated your straightforward and helpful communication prior to the wedding as well - making planning the music one of the least stressful parts of the day! Please feel free to use any of this as a testimonial if you like.

Booked the Alchemists for our wedding reception on the 7th May in Plymouth. We found the band to be professional and good fun. They kept the dance floor filled all night with their set and our guests commented on what a great band they were. Ian even encouraged some of the bridal party to provide backing vocals to one of their songs! A great night, you topped our day off brilliantly, thank you.

" I think everyone had a great time !! You were very good it's always a worry when you haven't seen a band live when you book them but you were even better than i thought !! Can't believe how many were up dancing the best band for the job!! Never seen so many up and dancing and i've been to quite a few of these Holly Balls. Fantastic to get some of the 'girls'up as backing singers!! Well done The Alchemists; would book you again!!

" Thank you so much for making our wedding amazing, Your set was brilliant and I hope you have recovered from the sound of us doing backing vocals. Letting Cristy get up and sing with you was the icing on the cake. You played all the songs we wanted to hear and it was definitely a night to remember. You got everyone up and dancing and we want to say thank you so much for a brilliant night.
