Client Testimonials
“Demi and the band gave us two show stopping sets with the mess members and guests up and dancing from the first to the last song. They were truly outstanding!!” - Events Organiser, Sergeants & WO's Xmas Party - Rock Barracks, Woodbridge
'Accolade' were a fantastic group that provided the Officers Mess Christmas Draw with that 'wow' factor, which ensured that the evening was an outstanding success. A testament to their performance had to be the dance floor full which was full of mess members and guests, including myself, throughout their time on stage.
