I saw Dave and Steve (AKA ‘The Boatmen’) at another event last year and was extremely impressed. They are highly engaging with a diverse set of popular songs which went down particularly well with a mixed audience. I immediately approached them and asked them to be our featured artist at the next event at the Brewery Tap. They did a fantastic job and I gather other venues have also enjoyed their appearances in recent months. I have no doubt they will continue to build on what have already been some very well received performances. If you are considering booking The Boatmen for an event I would have no hesitation in recommending them to you.

We had a fabulous afternoon raising money for the Royal British Legion with The Boatmen as our entertainment. Everybody came just to see them to be honest! They kept the crowd going all afternoon, the music was fantastic and we loved it! We're hoping to turn this into an annual event, so if the boys are free again next year,,,!
