Dear David.
Chuck and I were hugely disappointed to find out you all played at Mid Ocean on New Year’s Eve and we weren’t able to change our reservations :-(! But alas, we have decided that wherever The Kennel Boys are scheduled to play next New Year’s Eve we are booking!! So please keep us posted…
All the best to you and the band members for 2012!

Hi David,
Thank you to the Kennel Boys for making our wedding a wonderful and unique experience! Our guests are still talking about it. From the moment I first met David, he was extremely polite, responsive, and accommodating. The band has a fabulous sound, played all our requested playlist, and even learned some new songs to suit our individual taste and vision. The lead singer was an excellent showman and really energized the crowd without the typical cheesy wedding bits. And David really rocked out on the electric guitar. After the first dance, the dance floor was never empty. Overall, the band is terrific, reads the crowd well, and certainly lives up to their reputation as the best band in Bermuda!

Good Day David,
It was a pleasure working with you. The guest and more importantly the parents of the bride have been talking none stop about the band. They absolutely loved the music and atmosphere. So, yes I will definitely keep you in mind for future events.
Have a Great Day!!

Re. Harbor Nights August 17 2011
Hi,
For the first time this summer, my wife and I visited 'Harbour Night' last night...and we had a good time (we are a local black couple).
Everything was great, especially the music...we were near the 'bird cage', and we were about to leave around 9:15 pm., when we heard the voice of a young lady singing, along with a band. We got a little closer, and stood near the stage, and just listened, and enjoyed the music and the good singing.
We discovered that we were actually listening to the 'Kennel Boys'. This was the first opportunity we've had to hear you guys...and we were impressed... especially with your young female soloist. I don't know her name, however she is a great addition to the band, particularly as she sang the song 'Rolling In The Deep' by 'Adele':-o)
We wanted to thank you guys for helping us to enjoy 'Harbour Night' through music.
Bob.

I just want to say a HUGE thank you to you and your band mates. You guys were an absolutely hit and the set list you played was perfect. Thank you so much for letting 1 of the wedding goers sing as that was a hit for everyone there as well. The next day all of the waiters and staff at the beach club could not stop talking about how good you guys were. Numerous people would come up to us and say that out of the 100 or so weddings they have worked, that was by far the best band they have seen!!! I thank you guys a lot as you all made the wedding day extra special for us by putting on a fantastic evening of music and entertainment. I hope you guys enjoyed playing, as much of all the people at the wedding loved listening to you.

Hi David
Just a note to thank you and the band for a fantastic evening at the Fairmont last week. I had lots of comments about how good the band were – you pitched the music just right in terms of era – and it was great to see so many up dancing between courses as well as later on. Lots of locals at the dinner asked who you were so I hope you may even get some business from it!

Re: 50th Birthday Party November 27, 2010
Spendido Restaurant, Horizons & Cottages
I first heard the Kennel Boys play at a wedding we attended at Tuckers Point Beach Club back in 2007. They were so fantastic that I knew then when I turned 50 they would be my band of choice for my big birthday bash. And so three years hence in November of 2010 at Splendido restaurant the Kennel Boys played to 75 of my family and close friends to celebrate my 50th birthday celebration.
They played every song we had chosen, the dance floor was never empty and my boss from England said he “doesn’t remember the last time he danced that much.” We were all so disappointed when the cops showed up on the scene at 12:45am to stop the party. There is no doubt we would have rocked on into the wee hours of the morn!
We have just passed another new year and my husband and I have sworn to each other that we will only spend new year’s eve where the Kennel Boys are in action!

YOU GUYS ROCK! A HUGE thank you to The Kennel Boys for making our wedding. Thanks to some unexpected bad weather, our reception didn't quite go to plan, but one of our "Must Haves" (GREAT band, GREAT music) came off without a hitch. No one else on the island plays the music we wanted the way we wanted it played and there really was something for everyone. I'm a die-hard rock fan and rarely share the dance floor with my 87-year old Grandmother or my reggae DJ friends, but you guys made it happen. I guess I did the right thing when the first booking I made after becoming engaged was you! Thank you! The next time we have a party, we plan to have you there.

You know how much we love the Kennel Boys –from our local and overseas clients to our personal parties too.
Seeing my very-reticent husband sing Hotel California, on his 50th birthday, with my son for his 20th along with Ed –was amazing. And the repeat for Nathan’s 25th rocked as well.
Judging by the fact our company has booked KB for 6 gigs in the past 5 months-well, that says it all.
It is as much your flexibility, promptness and professionalism as well as musical ability and range that keeps us coming back.
Adding Aimee as a vocalist, with her current song list, is a nice addition to the band too.
We’ll keep the bookings coming!
