What people say about our events
House Concert (Birthday Party)
“I can’t thank you both enough for making my party so special. I loved the way you both got the audience involved with the percussion instruments and put everyone at ease. Everyone told me how amazing you were and I agree. My sister in law told me she wants to adopt you so you can perform at every party she goes to”
Wedding Entertainment
“The videos of these guys really don’t do them justice. If we could capture the magic and memories they created on our wedding day for all to see they would be booked everyday for the next ten years. We booked them for our wedding breakfast and evening entertainment and could not have asked for a better band. Absolutely perfect. If you are looking for entertainment that will keep your guests talking then don’t hesitate to book these guys. They go out of their way for even the strangest requests and get everyone involved in such a fun and relaxing way. I never thought I’d see my Great Grandma rocking a cow bell. Don’t look around for a better band because you won’t find one, we are just looking for another excuse to book a party so we can have them back”
Private Party (Summer Ball)
“Rag Tag Misfits are a brilliant duo. They can perform whatever you ask and are always great fun. An asset to any party”
Wedding Entertainment
“My family and I had the pleasure of this lovely duo, at my cousin’s (The Longfields) wedding, on a beautiful sunny day in Southport. The fantastic choices of songs and the interaction of The ‘Misfits’ with the guests (including the wonderful idea of instruments for the children), helped to make this one of my most treasured family days. I would recommend The Ragtag Misfits to anyone, who wants make their event a really nice place to be”

“Rag Tag Misfits gave me and my husband one of the most beautiful moments of our lives. Walking into our wedding reception, with our friends and family waiting… there on stage were Helly & Andy belting out the chorus to Ho Hey. It was magical. Not only are they brilliant, but they are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. ✌❤ Xxx”

“Fantastic duo. Booked for my daughters christening. A wide choice of songs and instruments to get the children involved which was amazing. Everyone enjoyed them and it made our day very special. Thank you xxx highly recommend for any event:0)”
Wedding Entertainment
“We had booked these guys after seeing them play at a friends wedding. What amazing people!!! We booked them for 1 acoustic set, however due to the fact our DJ had not turned up they immediately came to the rescue. Without any hesitation they had left to go and get their leads and lights to finish off our wedding with a bang. Truly gifted musicians and wonderful people. Xx”
Ladies Evening
“Our pleasure to have you there. The evening was excellent and we all enjoyed your music – thank you”
Wedding Entertainment
“We were truly blown away by how fantastic you were in helping to make our day perfect. We knew from the first instant we saw you that you were just what we were looking for. Laid back but funky and fun! Perfect! The comments from our guests gave us such a buzz as well knowing that they thought the same as us. So many people, young and old made a point of telling us that they thought you were something special, especially sharing your instruments and getting them to join in. You were a big part of our special day. Thank you again and we can’t wait to see you again x”
Christening
“We booked The Ragtag Misfits to entertain guests at our daughter’s Christening party during the summer. We were looking for something different to the usual “disco dj” and also needed to keep both adults and children happy. This eclectic duo brought an almost “festival vibe” to the party and were truly amazing, playing recognisable tunes in their own (I guess you could call it “bohemian”) Rag Tag style. What’s more, they provided a guitar case full of percussion instruments so the little ones could join in, such a wonderful touch. It got too hot on the day of the party and the Rag Tag Misfits moved outdoors for the last hour, something a DJ wouldn’t have been able to do so easily with all the setting up needed. Helly and Andy are professional, reliable and friendly as well as fabulous entertainers. Thank you so much – everyone loved you”
Festival
“The Rag Tag Misfits have been enthralling the crowds at Manor Farm Music Festival since it’s birth. Expect an all inclusive gathering of foot tapping, home spun frock songs with heart warming lyrics on life as it is. Echoes of social justice and solidarity unite familiar ‘sing along’ covers with the Rag Tags signature bongo/ harmonica grooves to create a ‘feel good’ easy going festival vibe that has brought these guys back year after year”
End of Season Party
“After a great recommendation from one of our members at Fiddlers Ferry Sailing Club, who had seen you previously we engaged you to perform at our End of Season Event at the Sailing Club. It was extremely good, very professional and a joy to listen to. I had no end of comments from members that you need to come back for another session”
Wedding Entertainment
“Thanks for what you did at our wedding and your lovely email. Nobody has anything other than positive to say about you two. Who can blame them?”
Holiday Park Entertainment
Birthday Party
“Just wanted to thank you both for Saturday night. What a performance. We thought that your music and entertainment absolutely made the evening. We had such fun. As for your rendition of Pauls Simon’s Father and Daughter, it was a money can’t buy moment for me, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that. Someone’s already asked me for your details at work so I hope something comes of that for you. Otherwise best wishes to you both. We wouldn’t hesitate to book you again in the future”
Wedding Entertainment
“We are still buzzing and have just received our wedding photos which look great. Oh and lots of videos of people dancing to your groovy music.
