“We booked The Distance for our centenary celebrations after hearing them perform live. We were very impressed with their song choices and the way they interacted with the audience. They really helped create a fantastic atmosphere at the party and everyone enjoyed their performance. We particularly liked their acoustic set which showcased the combination of guitar and their excellent vocals. We would definitely recommend The Distance and will book them again for future events.”

“Just wanted to say a massive THANK YOUI for making our night on the occasion of our Mum and Dad’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary. I was concerned that because there were guests from every generation over the last 10 decades it would be difficult to please everybody, but I knew everything was going to be just fine as soon as you started to sound-check. Lots of guests approached me throughout the night to say how good and how professional you sounded, so once again, a huge thank you! Will recommend The Distance to all my friends and family.”
