Prohibition Rag Band Reviews
The Prohibition Rag Band were great for our work Christmas event of around 200 people. They were lovely to deal with and professional at all times. They really brought the atmosphere to our event, and we really enjoyed their music. We wouldn't hesitate to book them again or recommend them to others. Thank you!
