Reviews of Primed (60’s- 00’s Covers Band)

We had a party for circa 60 people, aged 30 to mid 80s. Liaised with Andy in advance about possible playlists and songs we particularly wanted them to play. Very smooth and easy. Everything on the night went extremely well (despite our timings changing). The band were absolutely fantastic - great musicians and choice of songs - and kept the dance floor occupied from the first track to the last. Highly recommended.

Incredible Band, very talented and had everyone up dancing from each generation. I, myself, would not write a review but the band were just so very talented and had everyone at the wedding just raving about them. Brought a great atmosphere to the evening and were so responsive throughout the planning stage too. They are a sure hit with all guests and could not have been better. Wish we could do it all again. Thank you guys!

Andy and his band made our party. They are excellent performers and their playlist is perfect for getting everyone on the dance floor. Such good fun and such nice guys. Would confidently recommend them.

Hi Andy, You were brilliant. Review below. Thanks so much to the brilliant ‘Primed’ for performing at our wedding last week. They arrived on time, and looked great, and managed to get set up in a very small space. We went for their rock-eoke option because we wanted to give our guests the opportunity to sing with a live band - and that went down so well. So many people wanted to get up and sing. The range of available songs was broad - guests sung everything from Dolly's 9-5 to Robbie's Angels and the band accompanied them sensitively and with flair. What a talented bunch of musicians they are. It was great to have the lead singer support too - we needed it! ha! The band even went above and beyond by adding a specific song to their list for my groom and I to sing on our big day. Thanks so much Primed. Would recommend you to anyone.

Hi Andy, Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you & the band members. You guys rocked the place and we loved it. I have recommended you guys to everyone.
Thanks again!

Primed were a fantastic addition to our Wedding Day! They are brilliant musicians and were so professional. They communicated well before the day to organise the set list and first dance and it was so convenient having one of the band members DJ for us as well so the music was seamless. Our guests had a fantastic time and the dance floor wasn't empty all night. They had such a positive vibe that kept people on their feet. Ruth & Leo x

Primed were professional, energetic, and, most importantly, played an incredible setlist that kept our party going until the very end. Since our wedding, we've had numerous guests tell us how much they'd really needed loud music and a dance after such a long break away from gigs and bars, and Primed delivered on both counts. Their setlist was expansive, and perfect for the decade-by-decade setlist we'd asked for as the night went on. We'd also asked for a specific song not on their setlist which they learned for our first dance and they completely blew us away with how well it went. I can only recommend Primed to anyone wanting live music for their wedding!

Hi Andy,

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and the Primed boys for your wicked performance last night. You guys completely exceeded our incredibly high expectations and we cannot thank you enough for helping to make our day so special. And also for allowing an extra blonde addition to the band for the night!! If you would like me to leave a rave review on any social platforms (or anywhere) do just send me the link! Thank you again - just fabulous!

OMG….UTTERLY FANTASTIC Primed ed were at our wedding on Saturday. They were great setting up (had to be quiet etc as our dinner overran) and their music was just incredible all evening! All our guests said how great they were, and to be honest, my husband and I were just blown away. So much energy until the very last song. Loved them!

It was absolutely amazing. You read the crowd and knew exactly what would get them going. Everyone we have spoken to has commented on how good you were. I have got no idea if you played any of the songs we chose as I was having such a good time. I am so glad that we had you make our special day even more special and memorable. Thank you Andy. Until we meet again, I wish you all the best. Thanks

Thanks for a fantastic night! Everyone loved the music. The set list was the perfect balance between classic rock and indie anthems. There was something for everyone. Fan favourites being Van Halen, Billy Idol, and Motörhead. Even got both our mums up on the dance floor! The organisation and communication was perfect and we will definitely be recommending you to friends and family. You guys were the icing on the cake to a perfect day!

Primed are a fantastic band. They get everyone up on the dancefloor. When they played at my recent birthday party we had 80 year olds and 10 year olds dancing. They have a great energy as well as a great mixed set list. They played at our wedding and at my 50th birthday, 16 years later and would I book them again……absolutely!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you & the band members. You guys rocked the place and we loved it. I have recommended you guys to everyone.

Once again, Primed performed at our staff Christmas party. This is the 7th or 8th time we have booked them simply because they are amazing. All the staff who work at the school spent the entire night on the dance floor strutting their stuff. There was also a bit of rockaoke thrown in during the proceedings where we got to sing with a live band. Needless to say, we have just booked them again for our next party in December. An amazing night !!

We recently had a conference at Chessington World of Adventures for our global HR people. We wanted to have a fun night to motivate the team so we hired Primed who performed as the ‘Rockaoke Band.’ After a few drinks to steady the nerves, the ladies (and two gents) took to the stage to belt out all the classics. What a superb night! The guys were consummate professionals, very friendly and approachable. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

A huge thank you for making my party such a good evening. I had a great time and have received so many positive comments about your band.

What a fantastic night. The band jumped in on a weeks notice and put on a cracking show. They arrived early and were set up and ready to go before anyone arrived for the party.
They read how the evening was going and allowed people to finish eating before starting. The set was fantastic and had everyone on their feet dancing. Absolutely couldn’t recommend Andy and the band highly enough.

Hi Andy, we certainly had a ball absolutely loved the party! Everyone has texted to say how they enjoyed themselves and how good you all were- I would recommend you guys. Brilliant night!

Pablo and Jo, 50th Birthday Party, Hertford, October 2019.

Superb music selection and classy act - These guys rocked our wedding and had all of the guests on the dance floor ‘till midnight. Every song was a banger. We had a ton of compliments about the choice of band from the guests, one of whom had Primed play at their wedding 14 years ago! Well done and thank you.

Just a quick note to thank you all for all your help in selecting the band for our wedding reception. You made it all very easy and hassle free, and on the day they were brilliant. They were there in plenty of time and managed to set up with minimal noise and fuss divided only with a curtain from where we were all eating. They opened with a fantastic rendition of "I'm a believer", and as they went into the opening chords of the next song the dance floor filled up. It wasn't empty again the whole time they were playing! We will definitely be recommending Primed to other people and we're really pleased that we had them recommended to us! Thanks again

Thank you so much for being so amazing, not just last Saturday but also in the run up to the wedding! We had the most amazing day, absolutely perfect from start to finish. It was SO much fun! Having now seen the band at 4 family weddings, you seem to get better and better! The packed dancefloor from start to finish on a very hot summers evening was a true reflection of how great you guys are. I'm sorry some guests were probably driving you mad and struggling to stay on the dancefloor! Hope to catch up soon,
Thanks again!

Another great night of music and dancing with our favourite live band – Primed! Thank you again for bringing the party to life and getting everyone up and dancing – as you always do! Please pass on our thanks again to the other members of the band for being great musicians and all round really nice guys! It was a pleasure to have you all join us for the party. Warmest regards

We have a company bash every January just to help everyone over their post - festive blues so we booked primed as they had so many fabulous reviews. Not only were they accomplished musicians but they were also very approachable. They also provided a DJ service in between their live sets at no extra cost. I will definitely book them again.

My husband and I spent a long time looking through bands for my 60th birthday party when a friend recommended Primed. She had seen them at a wedding reception a year or so earlier. Having looked through their repertoire we saw that they sang lots of Beatles, Stones and Kinks which was ideal for a 60’s girl like myself.

I’d like to say just how great the band Primed are. My daughter wanted a DJ for her 21 st birthday party but her Dad and elder brother persuaded her to book a live band. She loved it! PS. They also DJ’d for us in their breaks so we had the best of both worlds. Wonderful.

We booked Primed for a very last minute wedding do in our local pub. Considering they only had less than two weeks to learn our (many) requests
we couldn’t believe how good they were. The dance floor was full& all our guests commented that they were the best band they’d seen in a long time also taking impromptu requests. Fantastic…

From the initial negotiations right up to the day itself, the communication was spot on. Andy couldn’t bend over backwards far enough to accommodate all our questions. And what a band! The boys in PRIMED really delivered on the day taking requests from the audience and even allowed my sister to get up and play the drums. Lovely guys and highly recommended.

Thank you so much for persevering despite the horrendous weather! Everyone is still talking about it now! Fab band great choice of songs... fun times watching us all dance in the rain I'm sure!! I've got a bruised hand from all the tambourine playing!!

A Huge thank you for making our special day amazing. Primed are an absolutely amazing live band and trust me, my husband and I have been to countless gigs and festivals to be able to say this, they were pitch perfect, brilliant musical timing and great entertainers. 
 
From the moment I contacted them to the clearing away on our wedding day primed were polite, courteous and incredibly professional. 
 
All our guests loved the songs, they managed to get people from aged 2 to 88 on the dance floor, they even sang happy birthday to my 16 year old cousin. The only complaints I have heard were from the female guests who complained of having achy feet the next day from dancing too much!

As we’d opted for an October wedding, we knew we needed to ramp up the atmosphere being out of season. So… we were unbelievably chuffed that we
booked Primed for the reception. They seemed to be loving it, taking requests off the cuff and and allowing guest to get up and sing. Amazing. Highly
recommended.

This was a very last minute booking we made but we were so pleased that we found primed. The pub in Beaulieu where we had our reception is quite remote
so the band were able to crank up the volume quite a bit. Needless to say, my Wife and I had a wonderful and very memorable night! Thank you Andy.

Thanks so much for another ace performance. You played at our wedding reception back in 2015 so we just had to have you back for our joint 30th and
my Dad’s 60th . I will recommend you to anyone who is looking to booking a proper rocking band.

It was a great evening! Thank you to you and the band for a great range of songs and being so flexible with the karaoke side of things. It was much appreciated!

Thanks Andy to you and the guys in the band for performing again at our annual summer shindig. At least the rain held off this time. I hope to see you again in the future.

I’m just back from honeymoon and at the earliest opportunity wanted to contact you regarding Primed who performed at our wedding. Its fair to say
that our expectations were high (having seen the demo's!) - and that Primed exceeded them in every way! they were truly fantastic, very professional, yet relaxed and fun - the music was outstanding. They definitely got the party started and at numerous points in the evening I looked around to see EVERYONE on the dance floor! Their music and energy, and excellent song list, kept the party going well into the night (no easy feat when you're
dealing with people who arrived at a wedding ceremony at 10.30 am and have been on their feet for 12 hours already!) 
I would not hesitate to recommend primed - and would happily provided any reference you need - and am happy for you to use my comments above should you wish.
Best Regards,
Victoria and Mike

Please pass on my thanks to the band. You were excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Shame that a cracked shin stopped me dancing but I still had a wonderful evening. If you ever need a reference I would be happy to recommend you.

Primed have been performing at our annual Christmas parties for the last six years. They are so good at whipping the crowd into a frenzy, that' why we keep booking them. Thoroughly recommended. See you next year.

Although our guests were all rather advanced in years, primed managed to
keep the dance floor full all night. They played a really diverse mix of music
both old and new and took requests from the audience. Fantastic spontaneity.

Primed are a fantastic band, Andy and the boys did 3 sets for us. They got everyone’s toes tapping, once the lights were dimmed. The venue erupted and the Dance floor filled up, there was good interaction with the audience with a rendition of 500 miles. The band have a mega play list and are happy to take requests, I can’t recommend them enough.

Cheers guys.

The band were fantastic, everyone enjoyed their playing, and there were people dancing all the time. They are a great bunch of guys and I would recommend them to anyone. The process of using your site was friendly and straightforward. All your staff were very helpful. Thanks again for a wonderful service.

Lots of help with the booking and managed to secure a great band at such short notice, everyone had great time!

The band Loaded were absolutely brilliant. Andy, the front man, was absolutely awesome. Fantastic communications and very helpful. The band arrived early, they played all the music that we wanted, and they accommodated everything we asked. They were 5 stars. We'd definitely use them again.
LMM were also very helpful, responding to every query very swiftly and comprehensively. When I spoke to them by telephone they too were very helpful.

Primed are an absolutely amazing live band and trust me, my husband and I have been to countless gigs and festivals to be able to say this, they were pitch perfect, brilliant musical timing and great entertainers.

From the moment I contacted them to the clearing away on our wedding day Primed were polite, courteous and incredibly professional.

All our guests loved the songs, they managed to get people from aged 2 to 88 on the dance floor, they even sang happy birthday to my 16 year old cousin.

The only complaints I have heard were from the female guests who complained of having achy feet the next day from dancing too much!

Primed exceeded all expectations with their performance. We have received comments from all of our guests (of all ages) on how great they were, many saying they are the best function band they have seen.
The First Dance song that we requested couldn't have been performed better, and set us up for a perfect party!
Andy was incredibly professional from our initial enquiry right up until the end of the night, and was a pleasure to work with. He arrived in plenty of time to ensure everything was ready, and they even played some extra ad hoc requests from our guests at the end of their sets.
There are so many bands out there to choose from, and I spent weeks before selecting Primed. We honestly couldn't have chosen better, the standard is fantastic and they are extremely talented. We really can't recommend them highly enough.

More than happy to give some more feedback if it helps.

Thanks again and hopefully get to see you perform again in the future

We just wanted to thank you and the whole band for the fantastic music last weekend.

We both really enjoyed the whole event and our guests all commented on how good Primed were,
you catered for all music tastes across the wide range of ages we had attending our Silver wedding
anniversary celebration.

You got everyone up ‘rock and rolling’ and your set up and breakdown was done efficiently and we
hope you all enjoyed the night as much as we all did. We will certainly not hesitate to recommend
you to our friends and family.

A big thanks to Andy and the rest of the band for playing at our garden wedding reception in May. They were extremely professional and accommodating of our musical wish-list and went down a storm with our guests – an international mix of people who particularly loved the live music!! The dance floor (and surrounding areas!) remained full at all times and even the groom and some of his ushers got to have a go performing too which was a highlight! Thanks again and cannot recommend highly enough.

Hi Andy just to say a really big thanks to you and the whole band for what was a fantastic party last night -Karen & I were both really pleased with the whole evening and everyone commented on how good you all were.

Thanks for a brilliant night last night. Lots of great feedback from the guests.

Just wanted to drop you an email to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU!!
Primed were fantastic at our party this weekend, we have had nothing but great feedback from our friends & family.
Thank you for the work you put into finding us a great band at such short notice, brilliant choice!

Thank you for our booking with Primed. They were amazing and we had a great time. We have recommended them to friends and family and we will again use them in the future.

What can I say ?? Rhiannon and Matthews Wedding day was a fabulous day from start to finish and Andy and the boys in Primed made it even better, if that is possible. From playing the requested acoustic version of Foo Fighters "Times Like These" for their first dance to the very last number, "Primed" were brilliant and kept the dance floor fully occupied. Not a complaint in the house!

Would I book them again … definitely YES! Would I recommend them without reservation … definitely YES!

Thanks guys for a brilliant gig!!

John

Thank you so much! We had the best party, everything we hoped for, and your band played a huge part in making that happen. We really appreciated your professionalism, musicianship, flexibility and responsiveness to the guests and what they liked. The song choice was brilliant. Having booked you twice now, once for our wedding in 2003 which you were just as brilliant at, and now for my birthday we are singing your praises and have already had a friend say they would book you for future events. We are not sure when our next celebration will be but we will be looking for you when it happens!

Many many thanks to you all again

A great night, the group were friendly professional excellent musicians, I would recommend to anyone wanting a good night. We danced from start to finish. My whole party commented on how good they were.

Andy and the boys were superb, they made our 40th wedding anniversary very special. Full of fun, everyone on the dance floor from the start. I will definitely book them again. They even allowed my 11 year old grandson to do a couple of numbers with them, made our night! Thankyou primed.

The performance from Primed rocked our wedding! All of the guests, young and old really enjoyed the band which was a highlight of the whole day. Whether they were belting out ballads, modern classics or a proper bit of rock everyone was up and dancing. My personal favourite was Highway to hell, maybe not appropriate for a wedding but even Mum loved it. Would strongly recommend them and will book them for all my weddings...

Just wanted to say a massive thank you from Heather and I, you and the guys were outstanding, everybody absolutely loved your performances and we couldn't be more pleased. If we get the opportunity to recommend you to anyone, we won't hesitate to do so. Even the PA music in the breaks went down a storm. I'm sorry to have missed my wife's rendition of uptown girl! (I had no idea it was going on) but no doubt it'll be on someone's phone!

Primed were very good. I was slightly nervous about booking a band through an internet site. I had no personal recommendations for them. I took a risk. They were punctual, professional and friendly. Their music was varied and fun. They were able to play almost every genre/generation - even my headbanger friends were happy! My only complaint was that the venue wouldn't let them play for longer. I would recommend them to anyone. We had a great night. Thank you.

If you're looking for a band to get everyone up and dancing and having a great time, look no further - these guys are FANTASTIC! They have a huge repertoire - from the Beatles to the Killers - and the front man knows what's going to get a particular set of people on the dance floor. I've lost count of the number of people who've come up to me since the party to say what a great band. And on top of all that they were really nice, polite guys. I can't recommend Primed too much, if they're available book them!

I booked Primed for my 40th birthday party. They were absolutely fantastic! I would recommend them to anyone who wants a professional, quality band who play great music and will make your party / event a raging success! I cannot sing their praises enough - thanks guys!

Great songs and brilliant performers. Everyone said: 'the band were great'.

We wanted to thank the band for such as great evening. I was told that several of my guests were not the "dancing type" however all said that they enjoyed the band even if they were only listening to the music. We thought they were great! I would particularly like to thank them for letting the crazy, slightly intoxicated "musicians" in the family use the stage and their instruments during the evening, even though some of the performances were cringe worthy at times! It actually added to the funny memories of the evening and kept those crazy family members happy!

Many thanks again for such as wonderful evening.

Hi Andy,
Thanks so much to you and the Band for last night - it was a great night! everyone had an absolute blast! And Mike particularly enjoyed his moment on stage! Thanks again for helping to make yesterday the best day of my life!

Really enjoyed the music and the guys were professional and friendly. Great atmosphere and we had a great birthday party - Thanks!
