Karl sent us an amazing setlist when we booked the Hoots. I only wish they had stuck to it. They did a lovely job with our first dance song and got the party off to a great start with build me up buttercup and I'm a believer. However their next choice of song was the first of three waltzes which cleared the dance floor leaving only the bride and groom to do an awkward and unplanned second first dance. They told us they were able to read the room but it wasn't the room we were in. They played Folsom Prison Blues, even though we asked for no Johnny Cash, and insisted on playing a third waltz even though a bridesmaid had asked them to please stop playing waltzes after the first one.

They were also very rude to our guests going as far as to single certain people out and berate them for not dancing. The worst part was our guests absolutely did want to dance and as soon as they did play something normal (Simply the Best, Twist and Shout etc) people would get up to dance imediately only for the band to quickly kill the momentum. By contrast from the second the DJ started (with a bit of ABBA) our guests hardly left the floor. It was a bizzare experience and we hope this review will spare another couple from going through it.

To The Hoots,
Thank you guys so much for being awesome! We are so happy that we picked The Hoots for our wedding on the 27th Sept of this year at Barnabrow House. The band were amazing and exactly what we wanted. The mix of male and female vocals were perfect and the eclectic mix played suited everybody at our wedding. We cannot thank you guys enough, you rocked our night!
Cheers,

Hello Karl,
A quick thank you to you all for a wonderful performance at our daughter Sam's Wedding at Nantenan on Saturday night. Everybody had a great time and an awful lot of the reason for it was the music you provided. You were great. We all had a ball and Michele has a fantastic voice. From the moment I heard you playing in a pub in Schull last year I tried to persuade Sam and Trent to try to get you. When we succeeded I got nervous wondering were you as good as I thought or was I hearing you with the aid of Arthur G. I need not have worried you were even better.Many thanks and I would willingly recommend you to anyone who wishes to have something special in the music line at their wedding. Cheers

Hi Karl,
Our guests absolutely loved you guys. We got a huge amount of positive feedback on your show. We'd be happy to give you all the positive press we can.
We hope to get a chance to see you live in the near future since I spent most of your set talking with people in the lobby and the bar (not by choice!).
Thanks again for coming out and we hope to see you soon.
