"Just wanted to say how much my family and I LOVED the band on Saturday. Not only were they wonderful musicians they were wonderful people too and they really helped make it such a special night for me, my sisters and my parents. The cover of their first dance wedding song was so beautiful and all the other songs they played really added to the momentum and general atmosphere of the night. They were also so accommodating letting us use the mic for our speech and really interacted well with the guests at the end to get people involved and dancing. We gushed this drunkenly to them all on the night, but please pass on a genuine thanks from me and my family! I also wanted to thank you both for being so ready to answer emails, questions, and even phone calls from me in the lead-up to the party. It's all been so hassle-free thanks to you both! Thanks again for making a memorable event that much more of a success. "

"Many thanks to you and your fellow band members for providing, yet again, another great evening of live music. The dance floor was always filled from the first number as always. Many thanks for supporting the ball over several years! "

"After spending weeks looking for a wedding band who could play more than the standard fare, we were intrigued on seeing their repertoire; finally a band who could satisfy all the guests with a mixture of classy soul, RnB and pop. Once we listened to their demo we were sold; it was clear that Rebecca has the voice of an angel. However, this didn’t prepare us for the performance on the day, which exceeded all expectations. Love songs delivered with heartbreaking beauty and pop that had everyone off their seats until the last note of the evening. Rebecca and the Somerset Soul are a wedding band for the discerning listener who gave us the perfect end to a perfect day."

"We just had 3 Amigos play at our wedding this weekend! We couldn't have asked for a better band. Everyone was up on the dance floor and they absolutely smashed our first dance request. Couldn't rate these guys highly enough! "

"Lucy performed everything from our ceremony music to the evening and it was absolutely incredible and loved by all! Any request was never too much to do and her personal music we loved! Everyone at the wedding said we nailed our music choice! If I could do it all again, Lucy and her band would be booked again and again.."

" We would both just like to say how awesome you were at our wedding. Everyone was commenting from the moment you started playing. Oh and our first dance song, just unbelievable! Exactly what we wanted. "

"From start to finish dealing with Starbound they have been professional, polite and very accommodating to the venue, timings and our requests! We were very keen to have a band play at our wedding venue and after much research we found The MonStars who helped make our day perfect! From the moment they started playing people were on the dance floor and their balance of live music and the Spotify set was perfect for us as it meant people had time to cool off and eat in between their sets! Thanks again Starbound!"

"I would definitely recommend wired4sound for your party or wedding! They provided the music for my husband’s birthday party and it was a huge success. The quality of the music was amazing and we had people dancing all night! The communication before the event was excellent and everything went very smoothly on the night. "

"The guys were our live entertainment and provided DJ music for our annual Charity Ball. Communication was excellent during the run up to the event. On the night they were hugely flexible, working with us in relation to timings of sets played. They rocked the room; the dance floor was rammed from the time they started playing to when the last song was played at 1am. Great range of music performed; many very positive comments received from our guests, they didn’t want them to stop! Huge thanks to Joel, Darius and Dave in supporting us to raise a great amount for our wonderful charity. They were not only great musicians and singers but had a lovely level of interaction with me as their customer which I very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend!!"

"It’s March and still raining. I’ve trawled through some serious procrastination to decide where I’m going tonight; at least three decent live music offerings in Chester that I know of. And I’m sure the others were brilliant. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are, in their own words, a “tribute to the British Britpop music scene” and a “powerful combination of passion and quality.” A tribute band, to me, equals lunatic professionalism. To tribute a whole scene is a big ask. Good covers bands are rare enough, taking that enormous and unlikely step beyond random amateur recreation. But these guys really do tick the box of perfectionists, professional curators though. Friday night was time travel night with a set list that captured the point where British alt-rock got (largely) happy and popular (in a good way). A guitar-dominated, looping and lurching opener with Ocean Colour Scene and The Riverboat Song; polished and convincing. The second song in and I’m braving the dance floor with the pointy-shooed brigade. A few songs further and they offer me proof of their professionalism. A very-very-very long time ago I was lucky enough to make it into Brixton Academy and unfortunate enough to catch James on a sincerely off night. And I’ve heard James and Sit Down many times since: at home, on the radio, in DJ sets and covered more than it should be. It's one of those beautiful songs that gets tired through overuse. And on this particular Friday night I heard it come alive; all vitality restored. There were the things I expected; a good dose of Blur and Oasis both, Stereophonics, Bluetones and more, then some referencing back to foundation stones with The Who and The Jam. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience switched between styles and musical voices with conviction; into acoustic things and seamlessly back out again. The magic of seeing grown men dance without a pint in hand happened repeatedly through the two sets. On any given set you pray for that one song you don’t see coming; the track you might flick through on the album that becomes something else entirely live. So it was with Blur’s Charmless Man. That perfect Blur poetry, is simple, direct and delivered with energy. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are a good distance from being charmless. They are careful collectors and curators of songs; fine musicians and performers!"

"Thank you so much to the Rockpins for playing at our party/surprise wedding last week. They were absolutely great and really helped us make the evening a success. Just left the music side to them and they definitely played to the audience and accommodated the odd bits that we specifically asked for. Would thoroughly recommend! ??"
