The Shrinking Violets have played numerous Wedding, Party and Corporate Entertainment gigs around Yorkshire, including Harrogate, York, Bradford and Leeds in recent years. Here is what some of our past clients have said about us:
I am emailing the band to pass on my thanks once again for such a fantastic evening at my daughter’s wedding last Wednesday. From the first note to the last the band gave 110% and their energy and enthusiasm ensured a crowded dance floor, full of people thoroughly enjoying the music.
I have already recommended the band and would have no hesitation in putting their name forward to anyone wanting a fabulous evening of musical entertainment.
Continuing success to you and the band in 2012 – you deserve it.
Best wishes
Janet Jordan

Nick, thanks to you and the band once again for a stunning performance on Saturday at our wedding party. You caught the mood perfectly and fully contributed to a very memorable evening for all the people there. The aching limbs in the morning due to so much dancing confirmed that….!

“We write to commend the band, Shrinking Violets, who have played at Sand Moor Golf Club for a number of private parties and official club social functions. The music is varied, good quality and entertaining, encompassing a wide range of genres and musical eras from Chuck Berry to the Kaiser Chiefs and Snow Patrol. Their organisation is excellent and they play for two sets leaving their audience wanting more each time. Shrinking Violets are an exciting party band that will ensure your guests frequent the dance floor during the evening; we look forward to welcoming them again soon.”

“The Shrinking Violets play regularly for me at the Blues Bar in Harrogate. I always find them to be a highly entertaining, talented group of musicians who are real crowd pleasers with their enthusiastic personalities and choice of set lists. In my opinion, The Shrinking Violets are most professional and extremely reliable and I therefore have no hesitation in recommending them to you”
Simon Colgan, Blues Bar, Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
“Thank you all so much for a spectacular performance last night. We thoroughly enjoyed your play list as you could probably tell by the full dancefloor! Thank you again, kind regards.”
Tracey Polikis, 40th Birthday Party, Shoulder of Mutton, Kirkby Overblow, North Yorkshire
“The Shrinking Violets have played in our bar, Alberts on serveral occasions and they always have the crowd dancing and singing along. Their style of music from the 60s to present day tunes suits all ages so they’re great for any occasion from weddings and birthday parties to a good night out in a bar! We have found Nick Clarke, the band leader, to be very amenable and he and the rest of the band work hard to please their audience. They are also great value for money as their prices are competitive in comparison to other similar bands. We would recommend them for any occasion!”
Mick and Nicola Triffitt, Alberts Bar and Grill, Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
“I am writing to thank you and your awesome band for once again doing a brilliant gig at my daughter’s wedding. Your two sets in the evening rounded off a perfect day for Chloe and Tim, and the “youngsters” in particular enjoyed dancing the night away to the second set. You did a great job at my birthday as well, and now that I’ve enjoyed listening to your band several times at the Blues Bar and other venues, I will recommend and promote The Shrinking Violets whenever I can. I wish you continued success. Thanks again guys, great job!”
Dave and Sue Smith, Wedding, Crown Hotel, Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
