Review Centre: 1970s & 80s Style Bands

"They were absolutely fantastic. The dance floor was full all night, and they interacted with guests so well. One of our nephews was invited on stage with them for a guitar solo which he LOVED and was such a nice touch. Can't recommend Straight Up enough. "

"Our daughter's wedding had to be special, and that included the music. Groove Army were more than special, starting with the jazz sax/piano during the meal, and then the dancing in the evening. Unconditionally recommended!"

"Marvellous entertainment, switching perfectly from mellow background music to upbeat moment-capturing stuff. Highly recommended as a 7-piece."

"I'm really sorry I didn't get to say thank you last night for your incredible music! You guys were literally awesome and I can't tell you how many people just kept saying to me 'the band is INCREDIBLE!'. Also thank you for performing our first dance song specially for us - I know it wasn't part of your usual repertoire and it was completely beautiful! I hope you had a safe journey home. We will send some pics when they come through in a few weeks' time. Best wishes"

The facts are that only positive comments were received on the night. My, and most other artists’ fees are clearly displayed on this website. For the record, specific, constructive criticism is most welcome and always carefully considered and evaluated.

"We booked the band 2 years ago to play at our wedding last night(18-08-18) and from first contact to finishing their set last night everything has gone so smooth. i asked liz if the band could learn a song that is very special to me and my family which they did without hesitation and absolutley smashed it. The variety of music performed was brilliant and each and every member of the band is amazingly talented and very professional. These guys played a massive part in our big day and we cant reccomend them enough awesome people who put on an awesome show everybody has told us how good they were. A brilliant day and night was had by all and The Marvellous Motown Souls are massively to thank for that."

"Thank you Tony for a brilliant evening of entertainment. You pitched your show perfectly giving the audience the chance to chat over coffees and drinks after the meal with some well known romantic songs (not too loud that we could still hear each other chatting!) and then plenty of more upbeat ones filling the dance floor. The feedback from guests was so complimentary - you have a great voice and kept the evening flowing. I have no hesitation in recommending you highly. Thanks again for helping to make the evening a huge success."

"Hi Matt, you were all fantastic, thank you. You made it a great evening. I think you could probably tell that I really enjoyed myself as did Gary! Many thanks, You guys are a great band and such nice guys – a view shared by all of our guests. "

"Simon was fantastic from start to finish. He made the planning extremely easy, had a huge range of songs to choose from (and even learnt one for us!) and arrived early. He made the atmosphere of the party so great, and I've had the best feedback from all of my friends who attended - he really got the party going! Thank you Simon, you were amazing!"

"We really enjoyed the band, Christian did a fantastic playlist from our own selection during intervals and kept The crowd going. Highly recommended, no fuss just got on with it!"

"They were a huge highlight to our wedding day last weekend. Everyone all night asked us how we found Straight Up and nothing was too much trouble for them! They learnt our first dance song beautifully and were just so lovely to work with. Would 100% book these guys again, thankyou!!! "

"Just wanted to email you to thank you and your team for helping us to organise The Line Up for the wedding. The chaps in the band were great fun, friendly, amusing and played brilliantly. Everyone enjoyed it, and the dance floor was filled all night. They even played slightly longer than they intended, as everyone wanted more. The day itself went perfectly, and we're still buzzing from the whole thing. Now looking forward to our honeymoon cruise this coming Sunday. Thanks again, and I'll be sure to recommend both Hard to Handle and yourselves to anyone who asks. "

"The band was really fabulous and made our party. Both vocals and guitar were next level and the guys were so chilled, they just blended in and went with what suited us. We would not hesitate to recommend them and look forward to rebooking another party soon. Thanks so much Nic and John.... You were great! "
