Ian C booked The Connection for their event in West Midlands • September 2024
“Just wanted to write a note to say thank you for making Saturday night’s Celebration Dinner such a success. We’ve just totalled up the money and we are delighted that the event raised over £30,000 for the charity! Apologies for the slight over run and the fact you guys were rushed on and thanks so much for accommodating the crowds demands! Everyone had an amazing time during your performance and the Kings of Leon sing off will stay long in the memory and was exactly the kind of fun interaction we wanted to end the night. The feedback we’ve had about you was all incredibly positive, and you absolutely rocked it. It was a superb set and everyone loved it!”
Rachel C booked The Connection for their event in Buckinghamshire • September 2024
“Spent ages scrolling through the bands on here. Felt a little like a lottery tbh. Stop and just book these guys. Totally professional in their communication before the event and turned up on time too.They sounded amazing and got involved. They made our night truly memorable, everyone commented and asked who they were. We'd have them back in the future for sure! Thanks guys x”

Thankyou so so much, you were wonderful.”
Perfect vibe and perfect songs!
