                  "They were at our Victorian week in Ilfracombe hosting/comparing and performing events over a whole weekend and were funny, professional and worked very hard. The table games at The Time travellers ball were inspired as were the 'floor' games - particularly the one which involved the blindfolded reassembly and dressing of a manakin very funny. The story telling too was excellent and such lovely people too. Great props, music, staging and effects. They were a great asset and I have no hesitation in recommending them."

                  " Duke swept into Ilfracombe bringing with him a tidal wave of energy and enthusiasm and an evening of steampunk games, music and laughter. He was partnered by the entertaining and delightful Steampunk Storyteller who charmed us with her tales of the sea. What a lovely couple. I would thoroughly recommend."
