Great interaction with their audience and so versatile they appeal to all ages.  Tracie Ashford  The Distance played at our wedding in January 2014 at Didsbury House Hotel, which is not a huge venue for a live band but they were just perfect for us. Even after a few weeks now since our 'big day' we are still getting compliments about our choice of evening entertainment! They were FAB! We had given all our guests song cards over dinner and even with the short notice they did a great job and played many of our guests requests!!! Professional, enthusiastic and great all rounders as they also provided the DJ element for us that we needed!

We recommend to anyone who will listen!  Francesca & Will  The Distance performed at a friends wedding party in July – they were fantastic. Huge range of music, excellent musically, super people – everyone there loved them. They travelled a huge distance to perform and were as happy leaving as they were arriving in spite of hours of travel ahead of them and the party being one of 5 gigs they had that weekend. Fab personalities, we were sorry they had to leave, they felt like good friends by the end of the evening. Can’t praise them too highly  Joanna Gallanders  We had The Distance booked for our Owners Parties here at Reighton Sands.. The Distance kept the party going till late and absolutely rocked the place. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and danced the night away. A massive thankyou to Sofiee & Mat for a brilliant night. We would definitely welcome them back anytime!  Dan Blowers (Bourne Leisure)  My beautiful wife and I saw these guys play at a friends wedding a few years back.. And instantly booked them for ours. They are TRUE professionals looking to help any way they can. No ego, just likeable talented musicians who know how to create a party! The energy and enthusiasm they put into their show is incredible! We've recommended them so many times i'm starting to think we should start charging a fee! You honestly won't find any better than Mat and Sofiee. James & Sophia Williams  James Williams (wedding entertainment)  Amazing Duo!! We have had these two to play at our pub (The Thomas Osborne, Leeds, Roundhay) for the second time now, due to a popular demand and we will definately be continuing to get them back on a regular basis! Two great vocalists, a great guitarist, both with great passion that create a great atmosphere! They are the whole package!

They turned up, they were super friendly, set up their gear and kept the dance floor full all night. They sounded great, chose awesome music and kept the party atmosphere going. Couldn't have asked for more and everyone we've spoken to loved them. Will definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thanks again to you both and hopefully see you soon!  Alex Gregory  Working as a professional DJ for over 10 years i have heard many live singers and bands. The Distance are to me the best I have had the pleasure of working with for a few reasons. 1, professional and polite people. 2, equipment quality and set up is spot on and sound is amazing. 3, can sing and perform many different types of music. 4, play for the crowd not themselves. 5, They simply can sing and play and they light up the room doing it.  Stuart Richardson (Ace DJ Services)  Thank you for a great night of entertainment at my 21st. Everyone really enjoyed the night and I will definitely be booking you again the next time I have a party!  Josh Garner  We saw The Distance for the first time last year, really enjoyed them.

Would recommend them most definitely.  Maggie Garner  Thanks for attending our wedding yesterday. It truly was a pleasure meeting the two of you and me and my new wife agree that you are a very talented and lively duo.
