Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"The Yorkshireteers were absolutely amazing on our wedding day. I hired them after seeing them playing at the Mailcoach in Northampton and booked them on the spot! Charlotte has a fantastic voice and they really got our party started! They are all so lovely and have such a great selection of songs, they could play something for every occasion! I would definitely recommend them to play at any event you are planning ?✨"

"We hired the Rockpins for our Wedding in May 2010 and all I can say is that they were fantastic! They had a pre-defined set list but changed it for us to incorporate our requests which was great. The whole dance floor was packed and my Dad and his best mate still comment about how good they were now!! The guitarist truly is a legend - awesome. I cannot reccomend these guys highly enough - even if you are not looking at hiring a band check out their website for a local gig - you'll love it! Rob & Gem Rob & Gem Swainson (n/a) 10/10"

"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!"
