Testimonials:
'I simply had to write to express our thanks and to pass on tributes to you all for a magnificent performance last Saturday night at my wife's 60th Birthday Party in Glencorse Golf Club. Your selection of music, which was played with true professionalism, catered for all ages and tastes and was enjoyed by all. Our guests have used every superlative in the dictionary but the remark made by one of them "I can't stop dancing. I'm completely obsessed!" sums it up best of all. Anyone who is looking for a Function Band of the highest quality need look no further. Thank you, thank you, thank you for an absolutely fantastic night of great music and dancing.'
.... Mike and Muriel Archbold (and all our guests), Edinburgh
'Just a few lines to say thank you for helping to make our wedding reception such a wonderful and memorable occasion. Everyone we have been in contact with since the wedding said you were absolutely fabulous and naturally Sylvia and I agree. We heard that many of the guests who attended from Kelso have been asking Sylvia's mum for your details after the wedding, so no doubt you will have to make some return visits.'
.... Darren and Sylvia Gimber, Stirlingshire
'I just wanted to let you know that Obsession were fantastic at our wedding reception on Saturday 17th Nov at The Barony. It was just the right mix of ceilidh and normal music and the Wurzels (as requested) which they played went down a storm with the crowd from Bristol. I didn’t get a chance to speak to the band myself so please pass on my thanks to them. I would highly recommend them!'
.... Kind Regards, Veronica, Glasgow

'Perfect music for a perfect day!'
.... Kevin & Louise Laidlaw, 2010
'With so much to plan and organise for a wedding it was a pleasure to work with Obsession. On the day itself, they arrived and set themselves up so quickly and quietly that we hardly even noticed until the music sounded. Even though our choice of song for the first dance was not in their repertoire, they still accommodated our wishes. Lively from the start, their selection and timing of songs went down famously and all the way to the end they maintained an incredibly high professional standard, engaging with our guests throughout their performance and where and when required tutored/guided the guests (mainly Irish not knowing the steps) through the dance routine required (Gay Gordons for example). Their decision to use 'Auld Lang Syne' for the last song was superb, if not unexpected, as it brought all guests together linking arms in a circle which, looking back on the day/night is one of the lasting enduring highlight moments of the wedding. A big thank you again to all band members from two very happy newly weds.'
.... Lai Lee and Eugene O'Callaghan, Oct '09
'The band were fantastic, the music really made the evening come alive. Even my 90 year old uncle was up and moving to the beat. We've already had a lot of compliments from our guests on how good the band were. So please pass on my praise to the band.'
.... Kathryn and Alistair, Stirlingshire
'The band made the night for us. Everyone has since commented on how excellent the band was, Louise and I loved it and only hope you will be available for our future events.'

'Just a short note to thank you all so very much for making our wedding so much fun. Your female singer is excellent and you coped admirably with our budding singers. All in all, a fantastic time was had by one and all.'
.... Jane and Ross Wilkes, Loch Lomond
