We were very lucky to have Desperados perform at our Farm Fundraiser in January, 2015. We were raising funds for a local woman battling a brain tumour. They exceeded our expectations!

Wonderful night singing and dancing along to Eagles classics. Would recommend to anyone getting married, having a special birthday or just need a good excuse to party!!

Desperados made the night at our recent private function! Professional, polished and very easy to deal with, these guys really are a total entertainment package.

If you close your eyes it's not hard to imagine Glen, Don and the guys are in the room with you. Can't wait to book them again.
