"Thank you so much for playing at our charity event. We had nearly 200 people attending, raised £1,000 and everyone had a brilliant night - there were lots of sore feet the next morning from all the dancing! Mitch was great in the run up to the event, keeping us well informed and taking time to understand the theme of the evening so that the band delivered exactly what we wanted, and more! Would definitely recommend these guys, thanks again."

"Overdrive travelled to France to play at our wedding and we can’t recommend them enough! We loved them and so did our guests (we got lots of rave reviews). They really brought the fun and Nora’s vocals were insane. Lots of people were dancing which was exactly what we wanted. From booking to the wedding itself they were really friendly and responsive. On the day there was a hiccup with the sound equipment (not their fault) but they were super professional and didn’t let it affect the night or their performance at all. Thank you so much!"

"I'm just writing to say thank you so much to the band for rocking our wedding last Saturday. You and the band were just brilliant - they sounded amazing, looked great, had such charisma and stage presence, and we just loved their music so much.Global Grooves had everyone on their feet and joining in and everyone raved about the music. I'm so glad we booked the band for a mellow reggae afternoon set as well which was just gorgeous on a lovely sunny afternoon. Thanks too for letting various family members sing with the band - an experience they (and we!) won't forget. You’ve all been completely reliable, professional and fantastic in every way. I would thoroughly recommend Global Grooves for any occasion! "

"If you love the stripped-back, chilled-out style of a Live Lounge, this trio is right up your street. With amazing vocals, top-notch musicianship, and the ability for turning hit songs into something fresh and unique, they brought a relaxed yet energetic vibe to our big day. Their setlist is full of well-known tunes, but each one has a cool acoustic twist. Whether it’s a slowed-down version of a dance track or a soulful take on a pop classic, they make every song feel new. If you’re after live music that’s both familiar and refreshingly different, this trio is a winner. Laid-back, feel-good vibes all the way."

"Dave and Rich were an amazing addition to our wedding. They were easy to communicate with from the start and little fuss in setting up. Their set was fantastic, getting the crowd going at all points, and even learning a song to cater to the Bride's side of the family. I would 100% hire them to play at an event again. 10/10 thank you for making our day special. James and Alex."

"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!"

"We’re so glad one of our friends recommended Vibe Collective as a band for our wedding! We wanted to ensure there were people on the dance floor all night and these guys definitely delivered! Playing a great mix of oldie classics and modern pop, there was something for everyone and all our guests commented on how great the band were. Would highly recommend!"
