• WOW! What a great party band!! These guys and gals were VERY slick, on-time and even played beyond the agreed time period. Fantastic songs! everything from lady gaga to Bon jovi , and all things in-between! From classic rock, to R&B, Disco, top 40, freestyle and even 50's. Windsong had us up and dancing all night long! THANK YOU Windsong and Gigmasters!!! we'll be sure to hire Windsong again! Best news of all? They're back here tomorrow night... Can't wait!!!! -- Anna L, Toronto, ON, 10/8/2010
• Another great party courtesy of Windsong! Our patrons couldn't stop talking about this band. I think these guys are the best kept secret in the Toronto scene!! just when thought we heard it all (top 40, classic rock, r&b and disco), Windsong performed a mini-Latin set... I think all 200 guests were up and dancing!!! A fun night for all, and once again, Windsong made it very very special!!! -- Anna L, Toronto, ON, 10/9/2010
• WOW! We were totally blown away by Windsong. Great value for the money... who needs a DJ? This band played everything from Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, to AC/DC, Bon Jovi and old school Motown/R&B, Disco, and even some LATIN TUNES! We had two of our guests make requests, and they played both songs! And one song request was for a Jewish Hora... Thanks to Gigmasters and a big thanks to WINDSONG!!! -- Bill T, Vaughan, ON, 10/23/2010
