Would highly recommend! "

"Hi guys

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your energy and the wonderful performance on Friday. You literally saved the day!

Had so many people come up to me today how great you were (even the ones too shy to dance!).

I hope you made it to Cornwall okay and you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Best wishes

"We absolutely loved having The Newfangled Jesters for our wedding. When guests arrived at the wedding breakfast and reception venue they were already playing acoustic music as agreed, and they were fantastic! They’d also prepared some easy listening music for when they were between sets, and let us borrow their microphone for the speeches, which was a very nice touch!

For the evening performance they were joined by their double bassist, and they set the party off! It was amazing! Every single person I have spoken to has commented on how good they were, and we couldn’t be happier with them!

Thank you so much to Hire A Band and The Newfangled Jesters for helping to make our wedding day so successful and special!

We loved how interactive you were with everyone, young, old, dancers and listeners. We loved your joyful energy and amazing skills and so many of our friends have asked 'How did you find such a fantastic band?' Certainly our good fortune.

"Hireaband were fantastic. Communication was excellent, even to the point that on my wedding day, I had a question that needed immediately answering, I rang what I assumed was a general office number and the guy I spoke to was so helpful and prompt!

As for Newfangled Jesters, fantastic band, really got everyone going and dancing. Great with entertaining all ages. Would highly recommend.

"Newfangled Jesters were incredible! Having a wedding in the UK summer we were worried the light evenings would discourage people getting onto the dance floor...but the second this band started playing the dance floor filled and was like this all night!

They brought so much energy and the set list was fantastic! All our guests said how great they were and insisted on them playing an encore.

We would 100% book this band again.

They were so accommodating in making sure everything was as we wanted and we’ve had a lot of our guests passing on their compliments about them. I have to say out of the whole weekend, the Newfangled Jesters will be one of the ever lasting memories of our wedding for us.

We had so many comments from guests saying how fabulous they were and how much they enjoyed dancing... in fact, several guests were feeling it in the morning from ‘too much bouncing’!!! We look forward to rebooking the group for our renewal of vows!"

"Newfangled Jesters were amazing!!! Everyone was on the dance floor. One of the best parts of Jen and Scott's wedding day! Sam even came onto the dance floor with his accordion, fantastic festival feel which is just what they wanted. They were well worth the money we paid. Will want to see them again and hope we can invite them back for a farm festival we'd love to make happen in the future."

"Morning guys, hope you had a good trip back home after being what was simply the best band we could ever have hoped for at our wedding on Saturday. We had some very high expectations of The Newfangled Jesters and let me tell you, you guys met, delivered and delivered again …and again in terms of being just , well the word is ‘brilliant’ and that still doesn’t cover it; The wedding party you helped create was honestly the most amazing day of our lives , seeing everybody just revelling in the moment and enjoying your sets and so many people have said your performances were pure fun & class…..I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we did, we aimed for a festival vibe and I think what with a combination of Tipi’s and a double-bass playing band with a fine beard, we nailed it; and lastly Sam, thank you for giving me the nudge to do my song-bit; Anna was and I think still is just amazed that I had not only the cahones…I was sober….but also that I can almost hold a tune…..and to such an important song for us both."

"Fantastic! The Jesters were absolutely brilliant.

Johns son Jack who is ten found his musically Rhythm and loved being The Jesters new lead percussion man!

Our first dance song was beautiful and a memory to treasure. The Jesters were the perfect band for our vintage country wedding celebration and we would highly recommend the band. Especially to anyone who loves a good beard!


Our thanks and very best wishes

"I just wanted to say thank you so much to you guys for coming to our wedding and being so brilliant. Honestly, you could not have been better. We've had lovely comments about you from our friends and family so I want you to know how much people enjoyed it. I think Aldwick are hoping you get booked to do another wedding there again, because the staff there said how great you are too!

I realise you put a massive amount of work in to learning our songs for us, and we are so grateful. The moments that Tom and I had dancing together to those songs are some of my most treasured memories from the wedding. Really special, and I can't thank you enough.

Also, some of the male guests have told us that they have serious beard envy after seeing you!!

Best wishes, and thank you again,
