Testimonials

 

Here are some messages we have received from “Happy Customers”

 Hi Richard,

We've got some great photos of the band from our wedding in MargamPark last July 30th.  There's a whole series of photos of you lot and me playing the drums on our wedding dvd.

 

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the night and thought you were the best band ever!!!

 

All the best,

 

Michelle and Nick Joyner.

'After being recommended by a friend, we booked the Polar Bears for our wedding and were not disappointed.  From the moment they came on until the hotel kicked us all out !!, the Polar bears were fantastic and filled the dance floor with their fabulous covers from 'Robbie Williams to Queen and everything in between!!'  We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone for wedding entertainment.  The Polar Bears were quite literally............. the perfect end to the perfect day'.

 

Chris and Lea

Had a great time, the Polar Bears were out of this world!!

They played all the latest music which catered for all our family and friends.

 

Plus everyone hasn't stopped commenting on how good they were Looks like u going to be busy guys.....

 

Anyway to all those who are having a wedding in the near future make sure to put the Polar Bears at the top of your shopping list.

 

Thanks once again guys for making our day a memorable one!!

Having spent most of my teens drinking in the Ffaldau Arms and Squirrel in the Garw Valley I was lucky enough to see many local bands but the Polar Bears were always the best. Years later they seemed to be the obvious choice to play at my wedding.

 

Even though I hadn't seen the boys for five years they did not disappoint. In spite of their refusal to play the classic Billy Joel hit 'I love you just the way you are' the lads were superb.

 

From the first song to the last the dance floor was full. My ears were ringing from the sound of the LLangeinor football boys (many of whom are hard core music fans) shouting "this is proper music" over and over.

 

The highlight of the night was me and my best friends on stage crucifying Mustang Sally. The low point of the night was the sweaty hug given to us by Rich at the end of the song. (Anything for a cheap grope! -Ed.)

 

Thanks lads for a night I will never forget

Hi Richard,

 

Should have sent this sooner, but post wedding/honeymoon chaos kicked in.  Just wanted to say thank you and let you know how much we enjoyed your set at our wedding.  It certainly got the guests moving and was a great atmosphere and will be a night to remember.

 

Apologies for any male guests that decided they were hip rock god's as they pogoed across the dance floor and in particular for any female guests that felt the need to grope you and attempt to remove your trousers........thou we noticed you didn't appear to complain or attempt to fight them off!

 

Afraid you'll see us again as we are going to a friends wedding that you are playing at on 27 October in Cardiff.  Looking forward to it!

 

Thanks again and we'll certainly recommend you in the future.

I would like to express my sincere thanks for your performance at the charity event we organised at the Non Pol. It was a tremendous night and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the band. We managed to raise £937 which we will put towards research into finding a cure for Leukaemia.

 

I hope that we can work together again in the future and once again I would like to say a big thank you to the entire band.

Best Regards

Hi Richard

Saw you play the Wharf on Saturday. Great set!  Love to see you guys again.

 

Please keep us posted regarding any open venues you are playing within 20 miles of Cardiff. Thanks again for a great night.

Rich, thanks to you and the boys for a cracking night, everyone I’ve spoken to really enjoyed it. Have you got any gigs in the Bridgend area in the near future?

Cheers, Mr & Mrs Cinderby.

Just a little note to say a big thank you for the music on our special day. We had a brilliant day and everything was perfect. Your performance was definitely a highlight for everyone and we had a few enquiries about you, so I have passed on your website details. I hope you got home to Wales safely that night - I hear you stayed for ages.

Just a quick email before we go off on honeymoon to say massive thanks for playing at our wedding. It topped off what had already been a fantastic day. Loads of people commented on how good the band were (we already knew - we've seen you quite a few times before!!) so you should get some good recommendations - pass our thanks on to the rest of the band.

It was nice to see the dance floor packed all night - even if it was our families making fools of themselves! Hope you enjoyed it too?!

Anyway thanks again and keep us up to date with your forthcoming gigs - I'm sure we'll want to come and see you to reminisce.

Cheers - all the best

Chris and Erica

 

 

I’m just catching up with my thank- you’s and I wanted to tell you what a fab time everyone had.  In particular me!  I danced so much (and drank more) than I have in probably years.  It was exactly as I had imagined.  You made the evening really special and everyone is saying what a great time they had and how much they enjoyed dancing.  .  Please keep in touch and let us know about any future gigs.

Hi guys,

 

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding reception 9th May 09'. Everyone commented on how much fun you were, and were particularly impressed by mine and Richards duet (not! ha-ha). Really guys, it was awesome! you really made our night. the manager at the Hi-Tide was impressed as well and said he'd be interested in booking you so i passed on your number!

 

Thanks again guys, Mr & Mrs Riddiford Phillips (Eryl & Stuart!)

Hi Rich,

 

Sorry I haven't managed to send this e-mail before now. I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank-you to you and the band for playing at our wedding!

Needless to say you made our night, not only because you especially learnt our first dance song for us but also played exactly all the songs we requested. The dance floor being packed all night, and how much my feet hurt by the end is also testament to how much I and everyone else enjoyed themselves!

I can't believe you dragged me up to sing - thank god the mic was switched off!  (Ed note: it wasn’t)

I hope you enjoyed yourselves too!

 

Thanks also for being so responsive with all my email queries, it really helped put my mind at rest and you guys really did make my night even more special!

 

We will be keeping an eye out on the gigs you are playing in Cardiff over the next few months and will definitely come and see you again if we can!

 

Take care and thanks again!

We all had a great time in the wedding last week. The day went too quick though. Everyone enjoyed the night, music was excellent, and everyone got up to dance straight away and never sat down the rest of the night.

No one wanted the night to end, thanks for doing the gig for us, all my family appreciate you adding the finishing touches to a lovely day. I'll definitely recommend the band to everyone I know. Thanks again, speak soon.
