"Just wanted to say a huge thanks for another great evenings entertainment at the club. The music was brilliant and the band's enthusiasm made it a fantastic night. Can't wait for the next one!" - Chairman, Horsley Sports Club.
''The Surrey Pumas always get everyone up and bopping.'' Jenny “The band excelled themselves, as we knew they would. Despite the rain, residents turned out in force - over 2,000 braved the elements. Thank you all so much. ” – ‘Party in the Park’ committee. “For anyone who appreciates hearing good music from the last 50 or 60 years, played by a talented group, this is the band to see. We book them regularly: they always attract a good crowd and create a great atmosphere. Singers from the audience and over-enthusiastic dancers are all made to feel welcome. Starting with acoustic, through jazz and blues, to sixties pop and rock, their repertoire is vast – and seemingly inexhaustible! A great night for music lovers of all ages.” - Local Pub “I booked the band for my 50th birthday party, which was held in a marquee in the garden last summer. It was a great success and everyone loved the band - one elderly relative even wanted to take them all home, especially the drummer! They played a wide selection of music which everyone really enjoyed and my guests – of all ages – couldn’t seem to resist joining in and dancing.” Dr VL – Leatherhead "Well, as a Knopfler and Dire Straits lover I have to admit that 'The Sultans of Swing' really rocked along pretty much as well as the original. I would have to be picky to find any poor aspects, and anyway, I think there were enough times when Knopfler did it and it all fell a bit flat on him so this might even better a few of his! So generally I liked it as much as Mark Ks renditions." "The vocal harmonies were fantastic - especially on the Eagles' numbers." |
"When we run a Live Music Night, we like to put on something special - not your usual local pub band. That’s why we book the Surrey Pumas. The band brings the same high standards to their music as we do to our own business. They’re easy to deal with, put on a great show and entertain our customers with a wide range of music, performed with energy, enthusiasm and professionalism." - Matt Morris, Owner. The Hurtwood Inn Pub & Restaurant, Peaslake.
"Thank you so much The Surrey Pumas for supporting Cherry Trees and playing events indoors and outdoors. What a wonderful and talented group of people you are." - Cherry Trees (local Childrens Charity) “The band has played for several of our village community events and private parties: I am also often to be found in our local pubs when they are playing. You can be assured of a packed dance floor from early on, the only problem is trying to get folks off the dance floor at closing time. I have had many complimentary comments on how brilliant the band are and I was very grateful for the bands willingness to accommodate everyone's needs and nothing seemed too much trouble. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and look forward to working with them in the future - they are all great guys.” - Local Parish Council “The band has played many times at the club, where they are known and loved for their talent, versatility, good humour and above all, willingness to buy drinks for committee members. Club members love to join in with the oldies, get up to sing with the band, and dance in an unseemly manner. They are surprisingly good musicians and can sound impressively professional if you don’t keep an eye on them.” - Tennis Club |
