"If you do one thing in this lifetime, book this band" - If you do one thing in this lifetime, book this band, if you have no money, take to violent crime, because if you want to have a party then you can A) put a DJ on and finger dance or B ) book this band and have an amazing time and get everyone dancing. Junction 2 played at my wedding this year and made the night, well actually my wife did later on but up until that point they were No1 in my book. Book them book them book them.   

"Every single person was up and dancing, even parents and grandparents, which you never normally see" - My husband and I were thrilled with your performance at our wedding at Westmead Hotel on 7th August. We really thought that it made the night and capped everything off with a bang. All our friends and family thought you were fantastic too. I remember looking around me and every single person was up and dancing, even parents and grandparents, which you never normally see. Normally most people are sitting down or standing at the bar with just a few girls dancing but that definitely was not the case. We thought that you really created the perfect party atmosphere that everyone could enjoy. Thank you very much once again - Billy & Janice

"If anyone out there is in two minds about booking Junction 2, take it from me - book them!" - There are certain things that can make or break an occasion and Junction 2 certainly did not disappoint to make it for us on our special day!

If anyone out there is in two minds about booking Junction 2, take it from me - book them We just want to say thank you to each and everyone of you, the music and entertainment was incredible better than we could have hoped for. Thank you once again! Love Lee and Ali Parker (14th August 2009)

"Brilliant! ... The mix of music was spot on" - Brilliant!  The band played at our wedding reception on August 2nd and they were amazing, I lost count of how many people said how good they were.  The mix of music was spot on - it must have been because the dance floor was full for the entire set!  Thanks again, guys. Love Sarah and Edd xx

"I seriously cannot recommend these guys enough. They will make your
 night fantastic!" - They are approachable, polite, accommodating with our requests prior to the wedding, even singing our rewritten version of our first dance. All of our guests commented on what a great set they played and there wasn’t anyone that resisted the temptation to hit the dance floor. A massive thank you to each band member. I seriously cannot recommend these guys enough. They will make your night fantastic!

His Alabama Blues recording had a song that stated:
