"Steve and his band have undoubtedly provided some of the best live music that I have enjoyed...They seem to have a real mix of music which brings to life any party and any event, and always ensures that it remains one of the best in your memory. I have no hesitation in recommending Hip Operation for those who really want to enjoy themselves and have a lively party."
Duncan Young, Sanderson Young link

"Wow! You guys were fantastic! Have you thought of having a fan club?
... We all had a great time and raised quite a bit for the BVF, but the one thing everyone is saying this morning is 'Weren't the band great!' ...Thank you all for for putting your heart and soul (and jazz and blues and funk and pop) into the evening!"
Jill Robson (British Vascular Foundation) link

"Hi Steve, We had a very enjoyable Ball and raised just under £32k...As for the band, we have had lots and lots of feedback saying that Hip Operation were fantastic and that they catered for every kind of musical taste, and from what I saw they had people up dancing through both of their sets. There were a lot of very tired, but happy, people by the end of the night!"
Denise Wallace, Tiny Lives Fund Administrative Assistant link

"Steve, you were brilliant last night....Everybody is asking me for your details. You pitched it just right...We raised nearly £25000. Thanks once again. Will recommend you wholeheartedly."
Sara Blair, William Hardy Trust

"Dear Steve, Thanks again for a fantastic night, you were outstanding, exceeded all our expectations. The feedback has been excellent...please thank the rest of the band for their professionalism and endeavour...thanks again."
Mark and Katie Reavely, Westfield School Committee link

"Amazing! Hip Operation are a truly professional and hugely talented band. When the music started, the dance floor was jammed and stayed that way all night long. Highly entertaining, energetic, and just simply superb! The perfect way to end a perfect day, the real icing on the wedding cake. Wish we could do it all again!
And the crowd yelled out for more.....!"
Kirsten and Ben, Gosforth Park Hotel 3/6/06

"Dear Steve, May I take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for helping to make the Annual Ball really special. The evening was fabulous and the part you played in helping making it so successful was greatly appreciated. We have heard nothing but praise since returning to school and I trust you will be willing and able to participate next year. Please feel reassured that from the complementary comments we received during the evening, recommendations regarding your service may prove beneficial to you."
 Sarah Timney, Church High School, Newcastle upon Tyne.

"Hi Steve, Just a quick note to say thank you for your contribution to what was an excellent event last Thursday, I have had had lots of feedback saying how good Hip Operation were. I have passed your contact details & website address on to a few people so hopefully this will result in further bookings for yourselves. I will certainly be looking to book you again for next years event. Many thanks for all your efforts - please pass my thanks on to the rest of the band."
