  • TESTIMONIALS

    The Sweeties were fantastic! They performed for us on the back of a vintage lorry outside the station and were great at engaging with the public - they even stepped down to dance with them! All the music was very well received by all ages, from the authentic 1940s songs, to the retro take of some more up to date tunes. It was evident on social media that people had travelled large distances just to see them. I hope they are still available so I can book them for next year!" Alistair Page - South Devon Railway Trust, July 2015

    “Your outfits are really awesome and I loved the way you came out with the sweet boxes as if it was an old cinema. It though it was really fun with the dancing and harmonies and it totally works. Everyone said you sounded incredible! We all really enjoyed it and think you girls are fab!” Helen Godfrey - Corporate Client, Feb 2016

    Your singing is ace! I particularly loved the song Saturday Night at the Movies. My colleagues were so impressed! You were easy and professional to work with –please thank the other singers for a very successful evening.” Pete Morris - Corporate Client, Jan 2016
