Review Centre: 1970s & 80s Style Bands

"Hi Kirsty and Team,   Now that I have recovered from the party on Saturday, I would like to say a massive thank you to you as everyone has commented on how great you were and interactive with the crowd.   I will be booking you in the future, as long as you would like to return and have given your number to a couple who are looking for a wedding band early next year."

"Another amazing wedding event last night with the fabulous Soul'N'Funk, Lee and Kate’s first dance ‘You Send Me’ Gregory Porter. Performed for the first time by the band went down a treat to the surprised Bride. Guest trumpet player for the evening, the hugely talented, and very nice guy…… Bryan Corbett - Brand New Heavies."

"We hired The Blue Suede Shoes for our wedding reception in May. We had already married abroad but wanted to have a larger gathering back in the UK where we could invite everyone. On the day we had about 150 people, from new-born's to a couple of ladies who were 90+. So the entertainment was quite important to get right. We didn't know what we were looking for at first, we knew we wanted live music, but we had to cater for all tastes and ages. The Blue Suede Shoes were the first band that both my (new) wife and I agreed on instantly. Thankfully they were available, even though they are Surrey based they were willing to travel deep into Kent. They have a generous play list to choose from, and even have a 'handbook' on their website with a few hints and tips about booking live music (not just restricted to weddings etc...). Importantly, they were willing to learn a couple of other tracks for us - one was our first dance and another was a Robbie Williams track which is one of my wife's favourites. From the start of the booking process Ben was very informative, clear and helpful at every stage. He was easily contacted and able to offer advice where needed. On the day of the reception the band turned up early and started to set-up without any fuss. We had a family friend DJ-ing in the same area in the evening and by the time I'd come over to greet them they'd already sorted everything out themselves. Our reception was in a marquee outside and the weather alternated between strong sunshine and torrential rain. Even though the band had a set-list, they seemed to be able to play appropriate songs for the moment. Playing 'Ain't no sunshine when she's gone' in the middle of torrential rain made everyone laugh and kept peoples spirits up. The band were also happy to ad-lib a bit for the bridal entrance which was very much appreciated. They were great musicians, willing to interact with the guests and very friendly indeed. We would recommend them without question, not just for a wedding but for any party or gathering that needed live music. They were loud enough to be heard, but not so loud that you had to shout over them. The music was perfect to sit and listen to, but energetic enough for many people to get up and dance or it and tap their feet to. Thanks for helping to make or reception so memorable. Matt & Kim"

"Wow we are finally coming down from our cloud9 bubble and want to thank Indigo Charm and our wonderful vocalists Rya and Rachel so much for the outstanding performance for our wedding. "

"We booked Motown Memories to perform at our wedding reception and they were absolutely brilliant! We made our booking during the first lockdown so we weren't able to see them perform in person before booking but our decision was made easy by the live performance videos they have on the website! They absolutely nailed our first dance song 'Marry you - Bruno Mars' and were great at getting the crowd going - the dance floor was never empty! They have a brilliant repertoire that suits all age groups and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to book a band. Thanks Motown Memories!!"

"Thank you, Ben! The band had an excellent sound! Many guests commented on that. Online videos do not do justice to your band. And thank you for doing Sweet Dreams, loved it :) Thank you for the lovely wishes. We'll be following you on the music front! Victor & Harry"

"Both myself and Liz just wanted to send you a quick email before we jet off on our honeymoon. I have to say I can’t stress how brilliant the guys were at our wedding….the dance floor was busy all night, and everyone who attended the wedding was very complimentary…in fact at the end of the night there was a queue for business cards by our guests. They made it very personal and very special and they were a perfect part of a day we will never forget. The acoustics and vocals during the actual ceremony and the wedding breakfast was second to none, everything they did was exactly how we imagined, the hotel duty manager was also impressed and said they were a fabulous band. So let me thank you once again for your absolute professionalism and a very accomplished band. I will certainly be recommending you in the future. "

"Acousonic came to play for 150 of us for an Xmas party and were absolutely first class in every way. Andy and the boys rocked it from start to finish. There wasn’t a moment during the entire set where people weren’t up on the dance floor having a great time. I would recommend Acousonic to anyone looking for a highly skilled, lively band who really know their stuff."

"Tonight we had a new duo called Shaun & Carrie, male and female: they sang the right songs for the dancers. Shaun & Carrie had great voices and they have been rebooked: well done, see you both next time."

"The band were not only incredibly talented but they also went out of their way to bring a party vibe to our 1920s wedding, making sure all our guests were having a fantastic time! The dance floor was packed throughout and their special requests songs meant so much to us as the bride and groom. We couldn't have asked for better entertainment. Thank you to Soul Hop, we would book again and definitely recommend to others! "

"We booked Absolute Company for our beautiful wedding all the way in Devon. The band were beyond our expectations, they really made our evening party special and both singers were amazing! We had so many compliments from the guests and all the other suppliers wanted to know where they had come from. The band really interacted with the guests and got myself (the bride) and many of the children to sing too, which everyone loved! We are both so grateful for what a special touch they added to our day."
