If you want a band that gets everyone up and dancing, book The Haystacks Band. My birthday party was a HUGE success and it was all down to these guys. Many guests commented on how great the band were. They added a couple of personal little touches too and we all did a led line dance. Absolutely fantastic, memories that will last a lifetime.

The Haystacks are AMAZING! We hired the band for a western themed work party and from the second the band came on the dance floor was full!! Great selection of songs, not only the classics but their take on current music too! Everyone who came agreed the band made the evening. Don't hesitate, they are great - thank you Rachel :)

The Haystacks were wonderful at our wedding. They supplied a fantastic long set list to chose from and even learned a new song just for us. On the day they were professional, lovely and sounded brilliant. We couldn't be happier!

We booked the Haystacks for 2 1hr band sets and a DJ set. They were absolutely amazing, all the guests were up dancing and singing along. Rachel was great at keeping in touch leading up to the Wedding and they learnt an Australian song for our first dance and the version was perfect. We would highly recommend.

These guys and girls were fantastic. We had them play 2 x 1 hours sets and everyone loved them. Great communication from the start made it very reassuring when booking a band of a website.
A great vibe and excellent sound. Playing a brilliant twist to modern pop sounds and still getting some of the classics bangers in to.
Can't thank you all enough, will highly recommend to everyone after a band.

AMAZING! Thank you so much for making my 40th a party to remember. You created a wonderful atmosphere, one that people just wanted to dance to! So many guests commented on how brilliant the band were, you really made it! Thank you all for being brilliant, you were also lovely and kind and played extra songs, I literally couldn't have wished for a better evening, thank you. Myself and some of my friends are huge country fans so we were in our element and the pop songs in country style meant that even those guests not country fans could love every minute too! Thanks again, my little boy has asked if you will be at the next festival and I really think you should be! Lovely band, lovely people, don't hesitate in booking the talented Haystacks band. Love Faye and family xxx

Thank you The Haystacks Band for making our Halloween/Fireworks party a great night! Everyone thought the band was excellent and you helped create an amazing atmosphere!! Also Sue mentioned that you were all absolutely brilliant! – She overheard loads of compliments from our campers and the local residents whilst selling tombola tickets!
Look forward to booking the Haystacks at our next event! Would highly recommend to others - I have nothing but good to say about The Haystacks!

Rachel and the Haystacks were absolutely amazing - perfect for the occasion. They set up quickly and discreetly, played beautiful music and created a wonderful atmosphere. We hope to find another excuse to have another party just to have them play for us again!

I booked The Haystacks Band for my 50th Birthday Party as I wanted live music that would get everyone dancing! Rachel and her band did not disappoint and we had an amazing evening; I cannot recommend them highly enough! They helped create a great atmosphere and were genuinely lovely people to have at the party. I had taken a bit of a risk in booking the band without seeing them perform but I needn't have worried! From the first contact I had with Rachel, through to evening itself, I had every confidence that they were going to be as good as I'd hoped. The Haystacks Band play fun, upbeat music with passion and an unassuming enthusiasm. Everyone at my party has been telling me how much they enjoyed the band and they definitely made it a 50th to remember. Lovely people and fab musicians who were a fabulous find online!

I hired The Haystacks to play at my 40th birthday after seeing them perform at a friend's wedding. I would highly recommend them as they play a wide range of popular music from different decades, with the possibility of learning a favourite song to make your occasion extra special. Many popular pop songs work in there soft rock/country style as well as the more obvious classics. For example Lady Gaga Bad Romance I preferred to the pop original. So they are a good choice for a party of all ages covering many music genres.

The Haystacks Band performed at our wedding party at The Pinkneys Arms in Pinkneys Green, and exceeded all expectations. Helpful, communicative, professional, talented, and above all fun!
They have a great set list with a fantastic mix of classic and modern songs, but were also willing to adapt to our wishes - with a high proportion of cat lovers in the audience, their version of Smelly Cat (by Phoebe from Friends) went down especially well.
They got everyone dancing, including me... and it's notoriously difficult to get me to dance!
Brilliant feedback from all our friends too. Thanks so much Rachel & Haystacks Band for helping to make our party so enjoyable.

Thank you for an amazing night Rachel and the Haystacks band! We had a perfect wedding, and people were talking about how good the vocals were. We chose ‘A thousand years’ by Christina Perri for our first dance which the band performed amazingly at the start of the night. Thank you so so much.

I just wanted to say a Big Thank you, The Haystacks Band made our day so special and I really don't think we would have got our daughter Jess to sing without a little persuasion from you guys. Loads of people have commented on how good you were, and it created a really good atmosphere even giving us a couple of extra songs to take us to a natural end.

Thank you to Rachel and Matt for two great sets. Everyone at the party seemed very impressed and sang/danced. They were just right for what we needed as it was only a small party, so they easily fitted their lights and sound equipment into our small marque. They played a good mix of songs to suit the suggested theme. I would highly recommend them.

Another musician recommended Rachel, and I'm so pleased that he did! Rachel was joined by Matt on percussion as part of the Haystacks Duo, and they were perfect for our mini festival. They turned up on time, very friendly and professional. They were very accommodating to our guests - from kids having a sing along on their mic, to well oiled grown ups joining them too! The booking process and communications before hand were easy - all over email, and very efficient. Absolutely 10/10 - we will book for next year if we can! Thanks Rachel!

Rachel & The Haystacks played our wedding reception to perfection :) Even covered a request song for our first dance brilliantly! Everyone commented on what a professional band, well rounded and excellent song choices to please young and old. Communication was fantastic and we really couldn't have asked for a better evenings entertainment. Thank You so Much The Haystacks Band :)

Tom and I want to say a massive THANK YOU to The Haystacks duo (Drummer - Matt and Guitarist/singer - Rachel) for playing at our wedding party last Sunday. We've had a lot of people tell us since how much they enjoyed the music - so thank you again! You were just right for what we needed! Abbie
