Fantastic band who helped make our wedding fantastic occasion. Really easy to deal with from enquiry to the day itself. Would book again without hesitation. Thank you all!Phil Hunt

We booked the band after finding them online and I have to say it was our best decision. From start to finish they have been fantastic. Joe is brilliant with his communication as weddings can be an anxious time but he always put my mind at ease. The band arrived and the party never stopped. Guests have commented at what a fantastic band they were and the dance floor was packed all night. We want to say a huge thank you for celebrating with us and making it a day/night we will never forget. The new Mr & Mrs Reilly.Lauren Reilly

We booked the band for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic. Joe was professional and personable throughout the planning; and was really helpful and positive when we had to postpone our original date due to Covid. In the run-up to the Wedding, he was amenable to arranging an early set-up, which we really appreciated as we were worried about the room turnaround between the meal and the evening reception. All the logistics ran like clockwork on the day and the band were everything we hoped they'd be and more. Everyone was on the dancefloor all night and our guests were all talking about how good the band were. Getting the right band was really important to us and we were delighted with our choice. Thank you so much! xxxRosie Panell

Thank you so much for playing at Rosie and Matt's wedding! Many people have said how much they enjoyed the music - you really kept people dancing all night. You were very helpful in all the stages of planning the event. Thank you!Janet Tackley

We booked for our wedding and couldn’t recommend them more. They were so good and helpful when we made the decision to postpone from our original date. It was 100% worth the wait, we were so impressed, all our guests loved the music and we couldn’t fault anything.David Kingsford

We had the band play at my partner's 50th birthday party. He being a metal head at heart (especially Iron Maiden) they accommodated us with a pick of an Iron Maiden song. Which made the birthday boy extremely happy. An all round current and party band. So many compliments on the band from our guests. Got the dance floor going all night. Awesome!Mandy Amphlett

Booked for my sons 21st and husbands 50th birthday. Very professional from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. Communication great, arrived on time, all members of the band are very friendly and talented. Catered for a variety of music tastes, very interactive and were happy for guests to join in with their set. Got everyone up dancing all night. Thank you so much. I have passed your number on to friends who want to use you too. We will definitely be back in touch for the next party.Claire Belderbos

I was a little hesitant in booking without personal recommendation, but needn’t have worried, as they responded to my enquiry promptly and they were very easy to communicate with, to plan exactly the party I was hoping for. I thoroughly enjoyed my evening and lots of my guests commented on how much they enjoyed the band too. Great vocals from Daisy. Thank you for being part of my 60th birthday celebration and I would have no hesitation in booking you again or recommending you to others.Jane Jenkins

Thanks so so much for a brilliant couple of sets last night. We had such an amazing party and you were all brilliant. I had such a great evening and danced all night - I thought the band played so well and professionally - Daisy was brilliant and got everyone involved. Thank you!Jim & Charlotte Adshead

FAQ

Do we need to provide a PA System and a lighting rig?
No. The band will provide a PA and stage lights.  If your event is for upwards of 300 people or in a particularly large venue than we advise that a larger PA system and sound engineer is arranged - which is something we can do for you. 

Can we request songs for our event?
For weddings, we include the first dance song at no extra charge and we’ll work closely with you in the booking process so you can request specific songs too. We will do our best to accommodate all requests. 

Will you provide music after your set?
Yes. In between sets and post the band's performance the sound system will be left up for an agreed amount of time. We have a playlist of songs that will keep the guests on the dance floor. 

Can I add songs to the playlist?
Yes - In fact, we encourage it! If you would prefer to create your own playlist you will just need to send us a list of songs and we will do the rest. 

How long does the band play for?
The band will play 2x 60 minute sets as standard with a 15-20 minute break in between. If you would like the band to play for more or less time or in a different arrangement (3 x 40 minutes) then this can be discussed during the booking process. 

When will the band arrive at my event?
Exact times can be arranged to fit your event, however the band ideally need around 90 minutes to load-in, set up and soundcheck before the start of the first performance. Usually, we arrive between 5/6PM. 

What is a sound check and how long will it take?
Soundcheck is an essential part to any band's performance. This is where we check the volume of the band and make adjustments so everything can be heard clearly. Every room is different and therefore it is important to check the variations in a room in order to avoid issues such as feedback and to ensure the band sounds great for your event. 

The venue for my event has a sound limiter. Will this be an issue?
In a nutshell, no. However this can effect the bands performance especially if the limiter has the capability to cut the power. Please let us know if this is the case so we can compensate for it. For more on sound limiters, please get in touch.
 
Can we use the bands PA System for speeches?
Yes. However we do not use radio microphones therefore speeches will have to be made from where the band is set up. Please let us know prior to your event if you will need this is we will likely need to arrive and soundcheck much earlier. 

Will I need to feed the band?
A typical event will have the band arriving at 5pm and leaving at 1am the next morning! that’s a long evening from set-up to soundcheck and then to the performances… and then loading all that equipment out - therefore it is advised that food is arranged for the band either upon arrival, after soundcheck or after the first set depending on your schedule. 

Will I get this exact band at my event?
Yes. However in the event that one or more of the band members is not available we have a network of trusted 'deps' that can step in. If you want one of our musicians specifically at your event then just let us know and we can make sure this happens for you. This also helps us for any last minute emergencies or illness. 

Do you have Public Liability Insurance (PLI)?
Yes. We are insured up to £10 Million PLI. If your venue requires certificates/confirmation we will happily provide proof of this or you can download at the link at the bottom of this page. 

Is the band's equipment PAT tested and what is PAT?
Yes. All equipment belonging to the band is PAT tested. Portable appliance testing (PAT) is the term used to describe the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. If you have any questions about this then please get in touch. 

What areas does do you cover?
The main areas we cover are London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex. That doesn’t mean we can’t travel further afield - and we are even available for international events - just get in touch with us to discuss your options. 

Where can I see the band play?
As the majority of the band's performances are at private functions it can be quite difficult to see us perform prior to your event. If you would like to see or meet the band before your event then please get in contact and we will try our best to make this happen for you. We will update our Facebook page with any public events, such as wedding fairs.
