I booked Back2Skool for my 40th birthday party on Saturday, and they were absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the initial booking process through to the performance on the night, everything was handled professionally and with great communication.

The band created an amazing atmosphere. Their musicianship, energy, and interaction with the crowd were outstanding, and so many of our guests commented afterwards on how brilliant they were.

If you're looking for a band that will make your event memorable, I cannot recommend Back2Skool highly enough. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for the party, and they truly exceeded all expectations. Thank you for helping make my 40th birthday such a fantastic and unforgettable night!

We hired the 6-piece band for our wedding celebration at Seckford Hall. Even before meeting Tracy (the lead singer) we were impressed with their communication and enthusiasm. On the evening itself the band were organised and professional, and looked smart.
Our guests said that they loved the band and by the end of the evening everyone was up and dancing.
We would higly recommend the Back2Skool Band!

Incredible band including brass instruments which added to the atmosphere. Fantastic singing and kept our guests entertained all night. Played a list of 90s music to dance to which all enjoyed. Thank you for a fantastic evening.

We had seen Back2Skool perform at two of our friends birthday parties and knew that when Tracy could seamlessly go between singing Elvis to Lizzo they were the band for us! We booked them for my husbands 60th birthday party. Tracy communicated regularly through the build up to the party sharing set lists and ideas as well as learning a few special songs that we wanted.
On the day of the party they set up on time and professionally having everything they needed.
We danced the night away with three live sets and three DJ sets. It was brilliant and we have had so many messages saying how great the band were and it made the party. All totally seamless from booking to performance! Can’t recommend enough.

Amazing band! They smashed it out the park when they played at our festival. Everyone has commented on how good this band was!

Don't miss out! Get them booked for your festival, event or venue. You won't be disappointed.

For the third time "Back2Skool" came to Brightlingsea Scout Groups Classic Car Show and Family Funday, and once again they entertained the crowds as the sun shone down and earned the entertainer badge. They are not to high and mighty that they wont play certain venues and seemed to enjoy the high scaffolding stage challenge, giving a great vantage point and traditional canvas throw together "scouting" roof.
This was our 14th annual show and the third time they have played, HOWEVER this is the first time i remember that every single chair in the bar area has been turned round to face the stage and people were waiting for them to start.
Booking was really easy and and Tracy has a great sense of humour and a pleasure to deal with.
Don't think about booking them... book them. Will i be using them again....do cub / scout wear scarves and earn badges?

We booked Back2Skool for our wedding and from day 1 they have been amazing. From set list choices, to learning our first song acoustically, Tracy’s vocals were phenomenal, and then to bring the whole band into the song at the end was amazing. All players in the band were brilliant, we really wanted a brass section because of how good they sounded. When performing live their transition from the song to song was seamless and kept the party going all night. We have received so many compliments about the band choice. Honestly if you’re considering booking Back2Skool, do it, I promise you’ll be so happy you did it. And huge thank you to all of you for making our evening reception so brilliant, you really brought the party atmosphere.

Back2Skool are brilliant. Led by singer Tracy but supported by excellent musicians. They delivered a brilliant atmosphere. They are professional, friendly and fabulous. They played wonderful party music to give us the best time. They sorted out everything from start to finish. They are also very polite, tidy and flexible. Highly recommended. Thank you.

OH WOW, what a band, they were amazing. From the moment they turned up polite and friendly, only too happy to work with us and the other act. AND THEN THE PERFORMANCE.... absolutely what we wanted. People were stopping, dancing and singing along. The 1.5 acre field, 6500-7000 people at the outdoor event were treated to a fantastic musical performance. Their last set to end the day had public hanging around. There was even one solitary car still in the display car area listening to the music whilst basking in the sunshine at the very end. Were they worth it, every single penny. Would we have them back...They were rebooked for next years show the moment they stopped playing at this years show. Thank you guys for making the show an amazing memorable one.

If you are thinking of booking them, don't think just do it.

Thank you Ryan and Tracy for a fantastic duo in the afternoon for our celebrations, you provided a great atmosphere for our garden party and thank you to the rest of the band for the full ensemble in the evening, everyone there were very impressed with the choice of songs and the professional sound from the whole band. We would definitely call upon your talents another time! All the best for the future of the band.

We had Back2Skool duo play for us as part of jubilee celebrations. The duo part of the band were very fitting to the crowd and was a great finale to our long weekend of celebrations we had had. Both Tracy the vocalist and the guitar player were very friendly and accommodating and the organising of the band was very straightforward. We WILL BE BOOKING THEM AGAIN! Maybe we'll book the whole band next time. Thank you Back2Skool. XX

We wanted to have a special night at the club for our Golf Professional sponsored Jubilee day & Back2Skool did not disappoint. It was the best dinner dance we have had at the club since I can remember & the band had everyone off their seats & dancing. The big band sound was just right & the repertoire of classic songs really hit the mark.

I asked Back2Skool to come & play at my 50th Birthday party. They were amazing, I wasn't really sure what to expect, but this band delivered. Plenty of old school classics got people on the dance floor. Lots of communication prior to the party to ask my requirements, but to be honest I was happy to let the band do their thing, and they really did their thing!

Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a band that really knows how to work the room and get people moving.

Thanks for adding that extra special touch to my party.

We had the pleasure of having Back2Skool play for our party to celebrate our wedding anniversary/birthday. Good mixture of music which got us dancing, even had a special request granted with a rendition of 'Take On Me' by A-ha. Thank you Back2Skool, can't wait for our next party!

We booked Back2Skool for my dads birthday! Extremely helpful with having to rearrange dates twice due to covid, but we got there in the end! Tim & the band were very professional and put together a great setlist for us! Despite the weather everyone pulled together and a great night was had! Would definitely recommend! Thanks guys.

BEST BAND WE HAVE EVER HAD!

We chose the band as we wanted something different and a little more special for our wedding and thought what better than a 7 piece band. They had the dance floor filled the entire set and every member of the band were so involved and invested in making sure it went well. Their set had a good array of songs which enabled all guests to get involved. We had our wedding at home so organised it all ourselves and yet didn't even know they had turned up as they discretely set up without any interruptions. We had so many guests commenting on how good they were and how it made their night. We are eternally grateful for Back2Skool being a big contribution to making our day so special. Definitely will be booking in the future.
