Testimonials:

Hooper were fantastic at my wife's 50th Birthday Party, the mix of music was spot on and they really got the audience involved, I would recommend them for any occasion. The first thing that guests comment on is how excellent the band was, thanks guys, it wouldn't have been the same without you!   Barry Todd

Hi saw Hooper again with Chubby Brown, great performance, i genuinely feel those people who arrive at 8.00pm on the night have missed one of this country's best live bands, thank you again . Kevin Probyn  Anglesey, Wales

Just like to say a huge thank you for making our Wedding on the 8th December 2006 a fantastic night- and one we will remember for many years to come . Nothing was too much trouble and you treated us as friends and not clients. Everyone enjoyed the evening and your choice of songs was perfect. We will certainly be recommending you and will use you again for future events.   We wish you all a wonderful christmas and a very happy New Year.  With Love from  Darren & Natalie Cardwell

" AN ABSOLUTELY EXCEPTIONAL BAND, IN 22 YEARS OF WORKING WITH LIVE ACTS I HAVE YET TO FIND ONE BETTER THAN HOOPER... TOTALLY PROFESSIONAL, TOTALLY ACCURATE, TOTALLY BRILLIANT"
Andy Baker, DJ - Brannigans - Croydon.

This band have perfected their music over the years and all four of them present the music of the last three decades to include a smattering of the 90s a blast of the 80s and a combination of the 60s and 70s to delight the audience" - Bistro French Live -Preston

"Hooper were brilliant, top performance! They got everyone partying. We had loads of remarks from family and friends saying how good they were. We would recommend Hooper to anyone." - Deborah Hare, wedding, County Durham,
