Marcus Burns - 40th Birthday Party - July 2009
"The whole night was so wonderful. You made us feel as if you were really enjoying yourselves with us. I can honestly say that you two sound awesome. A number of my guests complimented Faye's powerful voice and cheeky banter but for me Darren's guitar playing was the icing. We requested so many songs and you knew them all. Not sure how many duo's could perform a request for a barndance and in the next breath belt out Guns n Roses and Pink Floyd. I would recommend Don't Fret to anyone planning a party."
John & Christine Fisher - Wedding - April 2009
"We would like to say a big thank you for performing at our wedding reception at the Ufford Park Hotel. All of our guests commented on how good you were and the wide variety of songs you played. Thanks also for learning our first dance, you really helped make our day very special."
Bungay Golf Club - Valentines Dance - February 2009
"It was a pleasure for us to deal with such professionals who arrived and set up with the minimum of fuss and matched the music perfectly to suit our Valentines Night Dance.
We will have no hesitation in booking them again."
Hopton Holiday Village - Owners Party - March 2007
"Faye and Darren's upbeat performance made an exceptional success of our Owners Night Party. Great feedback about the brilliant songs and amazing sound of these two. By popular demand we'll be booking them again for our end of season party."

We require about an hour to set up our full audio and lighting system and are happy to liaise regarding convenient times to do so.

We are based in Norfolk and will travel for up to 2 hours each way free of charge. Beyond that a small fee is added for travel costs.
