Hi James I stumbled across your website this afternoon and enjoyed your rendition of Angels. Not too shabby young man! Let me know when you plan to bring the 5 CATFISH to SA and I will organise a serious Cape Town gig for you. Regards Arthur

Emily and Martin Hindell

dear The Five CatFish

A big thank you and for making our fantastic day even more fantastic. You guys were literally the icing on the... hum, wedding cake! I don't think there was a time when the dance floor wasn't packed, even a few of our guests managed to sustain a few dancing injuries - oh dear!

We also want to thank you for lending Martin's sister your tambourine and letting her play alongside you guys for a couple of songs, you really made her evening!!

We've been inundated with glowing reports from our guests and they were a tough crowd to please! You all certainly know how to gauge and keep the crowd entertained.

Everything was so well thought out and you were so considerate when it came to doing the sound check and not disturbing the wedding breakfast.

All these little things make the service you provide so professional and worth every penny. We'll definitely be recommending you in the future.

Thanks so much again Emily and Martin Hindell

Dear Andy

We would just like to say a very big thank you for helping to make Katherine and Chris' Wedding Day so special. The evening was just the icing on the cake. I don't think there was a moment when the dance floor wasn't overflowing. You really seemed to gauge the needs of the audience brilliantly and played such a range of music. It was fantastic and the family certainly saw James in a whole new light!

Thanks so much for travelling so far. We hope you were comfortable in the caravan. Hopefully you may get a few more bookings, certainly a number of their friends are engaged or at least thinking about it!

Please thank all the rest of the guys on our behalf .

Dear Andy

I am just sending this email to say the biggest thank you ever to you and the rest of the band for making our wedding reception the best ever party!

Everyone commented on how fantastic you were and there were countless people on the dancefloor who NEVER usually dance!

It was even noticeable to me, in my rather drunken state, how the floor cleared and people grabbed a drink while you were on your breaks and then piled back onto the floor as soon as you struck your first chord again.

I know I speak not only for myself and Dan when I say that we all could have listened to you all for at least another three hours! We really, really enjoyed the whole day, but you lot were the icing on the cake!

Thank you for making it pain free in the planning stages and coming up trumps on the night. We will be definitely recommending you to anyone who needs a band in the future!

Thank you again, and kindest regards to you all.

Rachel and Daniel xx P.S. Our first song (Truly Madly Deeply) was brilliant - but now I cry when I hear it!!!!

Kerry Gaiger

Hi Andy

Thank you so much for the wonderful time you ensure we all had at my wedding!!! It was great fun and everyone commented on how much they liked the band... Myself and Chris had an amazing day and you played a very important role in making sure that this happened so I am incredibly grateful to you for that.

I hope it didn't take too long for you to pack up - apologies I was a few glasses of wine short of being sober by then!!

Thanks again and hope married life is treating you well... Kerry (Ps. Whilst we were on honeymoon in Canada we realised that a very popular internet dating firm there uses our first dance as their theme tune.. I'd never really heard the Natalie Cole song that much before... we were treated to it at every time we watched TV for the next 3 weeks!!)

James and Karen Porter

Dear Andy,

Andy and all the 5catfish, Karen and I would like to thank you for a brilliant night at our wedding on 9 June. The music was excellent and you created such a great atmosphere everyone has commented on what a great night it was.

The set was spot on and had a perfect variety of songs to get everyone on the dance floor. In fact, your performance of the songs was so tight, that at times it was hard to tell whether it was 5catfish or the real thing playing on a CD. Your performance of Oasis, Don't look back in Anger was something we especially remember as close to the original as we have ever heard.

Ben also did a brilliant job with the music before, in between and after and really kept the party going. I wondered if you still had a copy of the set list. Could you send to us so we can create a play list for prosperity.

Thanks again and good luck with the band. If anyone needs a referral please forward our details - we would not hesitate to recommend you.

Kind regards James & Karen Porter

Phillippa Rogers

Dear Andy and Band, Whilst Sannah and Dermott sun themselves on the balmy shores of Indonesia, I just wanted to say thank you for your fantastic set at their wedding last week.

It's always a give away when the dance floor's packed all night - we have had so many glowing reports from guests. You played an immense part in making it such an exceptional evening (as well as being very accommodating for a couple of budding backing singers ;) !

I will most definitely be in touch again in the not so distant future. I will of course keep you posted on my progress as regards Philippa Jane & Company!

Many thanks again, Philippa
