• Delene and her band played for our wedding on April 14th. They were absolutely the BEST!!! I highly recommend this group for any party you may have. My guests were impressed with the quality of the vocals and the performance and talent they provided. They really know how to keep the party going and we all danced until the very end. Do not hesitate to hire this group! Thank you!!! Nancy (and Bill) -- Nancy G, Aliso Viejo, CA, 4/14/2012
• The Hot Pursuit band was fantastic! They did the music of our entire wedding day from the afternoon ceremony all the way until midnight and had the party going the entire time. In spite of our demands to have many different musical stylings throughout the night they were able to pull it off beautifully. Delene has a great voice and Barry is practically a one man orchestra. Our whole party loved the music and we would recommend them to anyone for almost any occasion. -- Jaime P, Julian, CA, 4/21/2012
• Hot Pursuit Band travelled down to Tubac Arizona to perform at our wedding ceremony on 11/11/11 and we must say that they did a fantastic job!! They had the crowd going all nite long and we had nothing but excellent compliments from our family & friends. We thank the Hot Pursuit Band for a job "WELL DONE" and will definately recommend them for any event you are planning!! :) -- Shannon B, Tubac, AZ, 11/11/2011
• We had a wonderful birthday party for 100 and had Delene and Hot Pusuit as our music. They played off our song list, we could carry on conversations without yelling over the music, and dancing for 20-70 year olds was enjoyed. We found them prompt to return calls and emails, arrived and played as contracted, and gave us a surprise with her light machine which played stars on the ceiling - the perfect finishing touch!! They made a great party- Exceptional! -- Deborah M, San Juan Capistrano, CA, 11/5/2011
• We had an amazing time with Hot Pursuit Band. I got so much feedback from guests at the wedding over how great the band was! Sweet Caroline at the end of the night was EPIC! -- Kelly C, San Diego, CA, 7/9/2011
• The band was wonderful! We wanted them to provide an atmosphere like a Scottish pub party and they did this perfectly. Their music and general entertainment insured all our guests had a fun evening. Delene and the band varied the tempo and music to perfectly suit the mood of the party. We would not hesitate to recommend the Hot Pursuit Band. -- Cliff M, Phoenix, AZ, 1/6/2012
• Fantastic event, the dance floor was packed all night!! Rink Sanford, GM North Ridge Country Club -- Rink S, Fair Oaks, CA, 4/15/2011
• Hot Pursuit Band performed really well. They did a great job interacting with the audience and a lot of the people came up to us and told us how much they loved the music. We'll definitely use them for future events. -- Jorge G, Imperial, CA, 3/17/2011
• Barry and Delene were very accommodating to our group. We had them perform a St Patrick's day theme and they did an excellent job with the choice of songs and music. We live in the Mojave desert so anyone who makes the trip is appreciated and they were no exception. They were pleasant and FUN to be with personally. We would like to have them back next year in a different venue as they are so talented we want to see what else they do. Thanks, babs -- Terry R, Ridgecrest, CA, 3/9/2011
• The band was excellent. I would hire then again if I had another event. I also received a lot of great comments on how great they were. They stepped up and made the party a huge success. I would say they were one of the best bands I have ever heard. -- Tony P, San Diego, CA, 2/26/2011
• Superb! Delene St. Clair, Barry Cahill and Toby Aherns (The HOT PURSUIT Band) provided music for the entire wedding venue - Wedding Ceremony, Reception, Dinner, evening of PARTYING! and MC duties as well! Their versatility was amazing, and all songs and music were performed exceptionally well. Delene's vocals were excellent and guitar, multiple wind such as Flute, Sax, Soprano Sax, and drums provided perfect backup and solos. Delene worked with us to ensure song selection was just right. I appreciated her guidance that assisted us in making sure our daughters wedding was well planned. The Band was a welcomed guest to the event, just not the entertainment. Superb! -- Col John H, San Diego, CA, 5/29/2010
• The Hot Pursuit Band did a fabulous job. Our St. Patrick event was a great success and the Hot Pursuit Band was a large part of this. They played music that was perfect for our guests. Got folks clapping and dancing. Wish the night would have lasted longer. I will recommend them to my friends and hope to see them perform again in the future. Thanks so much! Paula Otanez Event Chair The Gary Center La Habra, Ca -- Paula O, La Habra, CA, 3/13/2010
• Hot Pursuit Band did a really good job at our event. People enjoyed the line dance instruction and execution. The lead singer, did a great job engaging the audience and accomodated some special requested DJ music between sets. I have only one criticism, a special request was made in advance during booking that the band was to play low-key music during dinner so people could still network and talk, this unfortunately did not happen. I did receive comments from attendees that during dinner it was too loud. But other than that - when it was time to get out on the dance floor, after dinner, people did get out there and had a really fun time! -- Laura N, Anaheim, CA, 3/1/2012
• Hot Pursuit Band was a great addition to our corporate function on the beach. Last minute I decided to hire a band for entertainment so I googled beach band San Diego and they came up on Gigmasters. They were very accomidating and great to work with especially with everything being last minute. The thing that impressed me the most was Hot Pursuit read the audience and played music that got the guest up and dancing. By the end of the night we had a large group of guest up and dancing having fun. I would strongly recommend them for any type of function. I believe they would be a great addition to any type of event. -- Kija A, Coronado, CA, 7/17/2009
