Reviews of South West Band

Henry & the guys were incredible at our wedding this month. They were exactly what we were after when looking for a wedding band; proper musicians without that clichè 'wedding band' feel. The dance floor was full all night & our guests loved them!

A tipsy rendition of 'you've lost that loving feeling' was sang at the end of the night, but the band joined in & that's a memory of our wedding I will forever remember!

Thanks again!

We had SouthWest perform at our wedding in June and I cannot even put into words how brilliant they were and how much they completed such an awesome day! They learnt and performed the song for our first dance and then cracked on with lots of different types of music which ALL of our guests loved!!! We had a fantastic time, the band are worth every penny! We are actually disappointed we don't currently have another reason to book them!!! If you're considering them, just go for it, you wont be disappointed!

South West played at our wedding in October and were brilliant. Henry was amazing to deal with from the beginning and they really made our day. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending and am true to my word as my brother would like them to play at his wedding! Thank you so very much. I just wish I’d had a little less to drink :) The videos of me on stage are cringe! Hopefully see you all very soon. Wish we could do it all over again. Steve and Laura x.

From seeing Southwest performing in Harrogate we booked them for our event. We had a wonderful party, mainly due to this great band. Southwest play music for all ages & tastes, these guys are extremely talented & really nice too. Highly recommended for any event. Thank you so much - party John & Angie (ask them to do a acapella with helium hehe) (Oh but don't ask Henry to wear balloon hats he doesn't like them, but he only tells you after you buy him the drink.......) (Oh and another thing, we think you're good looking enough to be the lead singer!) (as you can see we had a good time)

Thank you for the amazing music at Geoff & Jill's Wedding yesterday. And putting up with all us drunks! It most definitely made the evening!

You guys were AWESOME in Cannes tonight! :D

You guys were totally amazing in Cannes tonight, Can't wait to see you perform tomorrow :)

AMAZINNGG performance tonight in Cannes, can't wait to see you guys performing again tomorrow :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so utterly amazing at our wedding! You played brilliantly, sounded awesome and were great fun to have around. To anyone considering you for a wedding - do it! You will not be let down.

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to you guys for playing at our wedding yesterday! You really topped off the day, and everyone young and old commented on how much they enjoyed your sets. Really really enjoyed it, thankyou so much!

Sorry it has taken so long but I just wanted to mention how fantastic you guys were. You really made our wedding an evening to remember. Our family and friends didn't want the evening to come to an end. I have had a couple of people ask for your details so hopefully they will be in touch soon. Thanks again for such brilliant music, Jane :-)

Massive thanks Southwestband for playing at our York wedding in July. It was an amazing night which truly came to life the minute you guys started playing. An extra special thanks for taking the time to play a beautiful acoustic version of our wedding song, and also for the gorgeous 'Time of your life' to end a very memorable evening. Hope to see you again soon - look out for us groupies at one of your next gigs :) Love Janine & Scott xxx

Hi Guys,

You completed our wedding perfectly thank you!
Love from Mr & Mrs

We got married at Rudding Park in May this year (2016) and Southwest Band were phenomenal – so glad we chose them. Right from the start when I called Henry, one of the band members, to discuss what I was after, he was helpful and friendly. I was always able to reach out to him with any questions I had. The band really made it an incredible night - one that we will remember forever. The set list was really varied, and the classics from various decades kept everyone on the floor dancing all night. The band are really energetic and three of the band members sing – they are seriously talented guys. There was dancing, a huge conga line, and crowd surfing (even in my wedding dress!). They also did an awesome reggae version of our first dance, which was a really cool surprise, and was very individual. Basically, the band are very reliable, super talented, and great for a wedding; I’d definitely recommend them. Thanks guys so much!!

Hi Guys!! I just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding on the 11th June!! You were absolutely amazing and totally made our night! We've had so many comments since on how fab you were!! Ps If you ever need any extras for your band me and my bridesmaids are available ... We just can't sing or play the guitar :)

Me and Kayleigh just want to say thanks again for performing at our wedding, it made the day extra special!! All our guests had a great night full of singing and dancing, plenty of knee slides too

To Southwest: thank you for adding the extra zing to 'our do' at the castle on 29th July. From 3pm to the witching hour you provided the perfect music...wicked tunes...ace voices and a whole bunch of personality. You guys made our celebration rock...just wish we could have booked you until 3am... If we ever need a band again, Southwest would be our first port of call

Hi guys,
Just wanted to say a huge thankyou for being so incredible at our wedding last week. Everybody loved you and you completely made the evening. Thankyou so much for managing to fulfil or request for the first dance, it couldn't have been more perfect. You guys are so talented and we were lucky to have you as such a big part of our day!
Thankyou again
Mr & Mrs Richardson xxx

Hi guys, just a quick message to say a massive thank you for playing our wedding at Saltmarshe Hall. You had everyone dancing and made it a night we both won't forget. Everyone said how much they enjoyed it, especially your "mash up"!!!! Thanks again, would defo recommend!! Joe and Emma

Hey guys,
Neil and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the fantastic performance at our wedding last week. The rendition of our first dance song was superb, we couldn't have asked for anything better. You really kept the energy going on the dance floor through the great songs and quick transitions. Our guests were so impressed that many asked where we had found you.
A massive thank you again, you made the night.
Neil & Laura

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding on the 12th April at The Normans. You guys were unreal and we had THE best time!! Highly recommended! Thanks again Carrie and Neil xxx

Thank you SouthWest for bringing such good tunes, fun vibes and brilliant atmosphere to our wedding. Medleys we're ace! Every one of our guests said how great you were and we had an absolute blast! Very talented, lovely bunch who gave us memories to cherish forever. We found it really hard deciding on a wedding band, but get these guys booked, you won't be disappointed! xx

Saw you at the Swindon Gin Festival! Brilliant performance and really good range of covers. Thank you, really enjoyed!

What a cool, funky band SouthWest are! Haven't danced like that for ages, my legs are still aching!
Can't wait to see you again x

Amazing band! Thankyou SouthWestBand for playing at my 40th. Would highly recommend this band. X

Just wanted to say thank you very much for playing on Saturday night for the ball.
You filled the dance floor for me which is a sure sign of a good night :)
We will, after Christmas, get started on planning next year's event.
Thank you for a such a brilliant night on Saturday and I hope you all get a bit of a rest over Christmas.

Have a great 2017,
Best wishes
Natasha

Had these guys for our wedding yesterday. Absolutely amazing, dance floor was packed and everyone had a great time and loved their set. Thank you lads!

What a great bunch of lads. They played songs to suit all ages and guests were dancing all night long. They were accommodating and were open to requests.

What a party. Saturday 5th August this fantastic band played at our beautiful daughter Rionach and her handsome husband Andrew's wedding. Dancefloor full from start to finish. What more can we say. Thank you Henry and all the band.

Southwest were absolutely fantastic at our party! The dance floor was packed all night and everybody has commented on how great the guys were. They made our evening and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Thank you for the great performance at our wedding, I would highly recommend southwest to anyone. Even a few friends who I've never seen step on a dance floor before got up and enjoyed themselves.
Plus thank you for performing our first dance, it's always better live.

Thank you SO much to Henry and SouthWestband. You were everything we could have hoped for and more!
Our first dance was simply fantastic and from then on the dancefloor was full ALL night. We were debating about our budget before booking and I am so glad we paid a little extra and went with SouthWestband! Worth every penny :) Book them! Xx

Booked SouthWestBand for our wedding and I cannot recommend these guys enough! Communication with the band was fantastic and took another stress off my shoulders on the big day knowing the band had everything under expert control. Nothing was too much for these guys! The guests could not stop commenting on how much they loved the band, SouthWest really made the night!

Thanks SouthWest! We will be booking again!

Just absolutely superb musicians. Would easy pay £15/£20 to these at a gig! Haven't them for your own party is just unreal.

Southwest were superb and really helped to make it a special and very enjoyable night. Everyone was dancing and I received loads of really positive feedback on the performance. I would certainly recommend them to anyone.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for Saturday you guys were amazing completely professional and made the evening a huge success; everyone commented on how great you guys were. I could not have asked for anything more.

A big thank you to SouthWest for help making our Christmas party such a success! They played a great selection of songs and had both the young and old on the dancefloor all night.

SouthWest flew out to Portugal to perform for all us ladies and it truly finished off day in style! Had us dancing for hours!

“They kept the vibe/party feel going throughout the whole night, even when they weren't on stage they were outside chatting with us. What a bunch of lovely guys. I had so many compliments for them throughout the night, everyone loved their songs, the mix ups and the medleys. Not your average run of the mill band, but a totally dedicated, professional and perfect performance."

Thank you for Friday night! You guys were amazing, our guests all commented on how great you were and I'm sure you could tell by how many were on the dancefloor. Highlight of the night had to be leading the conga through the De Grey Rooms, though not sure how well the video worked out, I'm a beginner with a selfie stick!!! Thanks so much for helping to make it a night to remember.

This band are just brilliant. I booked for my wedding and the atmosphere was fantastic. Dance floor packed all night. So much fun. Thank you guys!!! Book them seriously.

Henry was a pleasure to deal with throughout, and the band were great all evening. They took into consideration our music tastes when making the setlist and learnt some new songs that we had requested. All the guests commented on how good they were and the dance floor was full all evening. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic band for any occasion. The guys made our first dance truly memorable and kept the dance floor rocking the whole evening. Our guests loved them and the set list kept everyone involved. Highly recommended! Thanks again guys, Luke & Vaithehy

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding - you were amazing and would definitely recommend you in the future!
From the afternoon acoustic set to evening entertainment, everything was perfect.
I bet you have never had to play 'country roads' so many times in one day before!

So glad we booked South West for our wedding, they were awesome and such nice guys! Every single one of our guests said how brilliant they were and they definitely got the dance floor bouncing! The medleys they put together are brilliant and the last song they did for us will be one of our favourite memories forever! Thank you South West x

Awesome band! Eclectic mix of music and amazing fun guys!

Great entertainment. Wide variety of music for every occasion. Very talented musicians and vocalists.They were an ideal choice for my daughter's wedding and also my 50th party with an excellent repertoire that kept everyone on the dance floor. Highly recommended.

What can I say... these guys are excellent and made our wedding a more than a memorable day. Brilliant! Thank you! The a capella version of Wonderwall is the better than the original. Sorry Liam and Noel. ;)

These guys were amazing - great repertoire, really talented and couldn't have been more helpful, particularly when it came to the first dance. Everyone commented on how great they were, I really can't recommend them highly enough.

To Henry and the band, you were absolutely awesome. Thank you for making the evening so memorable and rolling with the changes. You were professional and delivered an epic set. Our family and friends loved it. Thank you. Niall and Claire.

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. We had the best night & all our guests complimented how great the band was. You made our first dance song......Perfect - you topped off the best day we had on Sunday. Highly recommend you to others from Gemma & Alex the new Mr & Mrs Tyrer

Southwestband were truly incredible at our wedding!! We had seen them play last year at our friends and thought they were fab and that we just had to have them at ours! They have been nothing but helpful in the lead up to the big day and learnt our first dance song when we changed it not long before the day! To put it simply they were everything and more! Lydia and Tom xx

Just got back from honeymoon and had to say a massive massive thank you to Southwest for playing at our wedding. You guys were absolutely awesome and the dancefloor was full all evening! You smashed it! We have had so many comments from guests that you guys were simply the best band they have ever heard/seen and we agree! So glad we booked you - thanks for the memories! Amy and Andrew Huxtable

These guys went down an absolute treat at our wedding in April, the dance floor was constantly full (and bouncing) and the music hit the brief we gave them perfectly. You can tell they're all real musicians, they don't have that "wedding band" feel that so many others do which is the main reason we asked them to play for us.
Worth noting that their van broke down on the day of our wedding, but we had absolutely no idea. They just got in their respective cars, drove the 3 hour journey to Northumberland and got on with their thing.
Would certainly recommend.
