"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…"

"W4s played a fantastic set at our wedding, the band sounded absolutely incredible and they kept the dance floor filled all night long. A truly professional group that I would highly recommend to anyone, as well as us loving them we had so many compliments from our guests on how much they enjoyed them. We particularly appreciated the effort they put into learning and nailing our first dance song! "

"We hired ‘Kitty Galactic’ for our wedding reception & they really made the party! Great communications with Tim the drummer in the lead up to the event ensured everything ran smoothly on the night. The sets consisted of a number of funk/soul classics plus some more up-to-date pop tunes - perfect for a wedding party. It's always a good sign when the dance floor is rammed & it was for the duration of the sets. Thanks guys & I will be strongly recommending you to others! "

"They were absolutely brilliant. They really got everyone up on the dance floor and led the sets so that all the guests could really enjoy the dancing. We had a lot over from Canada and they still haven’t stopped telling us how much they enjoyed it. The Scots amongst us also appreciated how good they were and how hard they worked to ensure it was great fun. They helped make the wedding a very special and unforgettable day for Joseph and Amanda.

"We heard Full Beans perform at Oxjam in late 2015 and decided on the spot that we wanted them at our wedding reception. Their performance on the day was just perfect with a combination of classic gypsy jazz tunes and innovative arrangements of old classics. They were really organised and were spot on with communicating with us about the big day putting our minds at ease. We could not recommend these guys (and gals) enough!"

"Jimmy helped make our wedding day very special, with brilliant guitar playing and singing, many guests complimented Jimmy saying how good he was and how much they enjoyed listening to him. Would highly recommend and am very pleased to have had him at our wedding. "

"Thank you so so much! That was simply incredible - it is hard to put into words just how special it was to hear live music of such calibrate, enthusiasm and skill. It was incredible to be a part of the songs, dancing along and - as an aside - simply amazing to have you as a familiar face. Really brought back the happiest of memories. We’ve been receiving messages in capital letters from friends saying ‘THE BAND WAS AMAZING’. We’re all quite a musical bunch and lots of us have all attended quite a few weddings now so that’s a huge compliment. Please thank the band for learning the Lianne le havas song. We had to keep double checking the band hadn’t been replaced by Lianne le havas herself - such a magical way to start the evening. Now just have to dream up some other excuse to hire you guys… a 33rd birthday party?!"

"We thank you for your massive contribution to what was a brilliant night and one that Keira said she will always remember. We are only too happy to recommend you and feel free to approach us at any time if there is anything we can do to help. "Rory played the saxophone at my daughter’s 21st birthday party and it is no exaggeration to say that his contribution was a massive factor in a hugely successful evening. First and perhaps most importantly, Rory is highly personable and works so incredibly hard. He seemed to perform non-stop all evening and always at such a high standard. His enthusiasm and energy were absolutely brilliant and so many of our guests were highly complimentary about him, with some still talking about him a week later." Thank you so much Rory and I know that wherever you play you will really make a hugely positive difference. John & Paula, Birthday Party, Rory @ Private House, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, August, 2024"

Hi John, I hope you had a fantastic bank holiday weekend in Paris! I trust you got a chance to enjoy some of the Paralympics while you were there—it must have been an incredible experience. Thank you so much for your kind feedback regarding Keira’s 21st birthday party. I am absolutely thrilled to hear that the music contributed to such a memorable evening. Knowing that Keira, her friends, and family had a great time really means the world to me. It was truly a pleasure working with you all and being part of such a special milestone. I’m also incredibly grateful for the wonderful testament you provided. Your words are very much appreciated, and I’m delighted that my performance made such a positive impact. It’s always rewarding to hear that my energy and enthusiasm were well-received. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to [agency] if there’s anything else I can do, or if you ever need live music for future events. I’d be more than happy to collaborate again! Sending you my very best wishes. All the best, Rory

"Wow, what a singer! Lucy was an absolute star, travelling up from London with her guitarist to my party in the Midlands to help me out at short notice, as I was struggling to find an act I liked and was available for my birthday party. What I didn't realise was, not only is she absolutely lovely but she has an amazing voice, great range, a huge variety of songs and she even did me an Elvis number by special request. Her guitarist was a quality act too. I know there are lots of 10/10 ratings on here, but seriously I don't think you could give Lucy any less, if you hire her, she will make your event a special one."

"These guys were AMAZING!!! We had them for our wedding and had so many comments on how fantastic they were at getting the party going, engaging with guests & playing the perfect songs to keep people on the dance floor. Some of our guests have since been in touch with Overdrive to try and book them for their own parties. Couldn't have wished for a better group to entertain us & our guests! Thanks so much!!!!"
