"What can I say?
The King B Blues Brothers far exceeded my expectations.
My husband had the best night ever and all our friends and family have commented on the brilliant entertainment.
They were two of the nicest men you could invite to a party and fitted in perfectly with our crowd. They were very accommodating and thoroughly entertaining. No-one was left in the corner during their act and everyone got into the spirit of the night.
I could not praise them enough and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great night."
