"We recently had Radio Dukes play at our wedding and they were simply superb. I have worked with many, many bands at various events over the years andRadio Dukes rates amongst the top. Throughout the planning, I have been so impressed with the professionalism shown by the band leader, Mitch. He remained in regular communication through email and phone which made it easier to organise. On the day, we had the two-piece acoustic duo through the drinks reception and then the five-piece for the evening. The duo created a really nice ambiance for people to chat/drink. The five-piece was simply great fun and the dance floor was full all night. They even allowed my cousin to sing our first dance with them which was a really lovely touch and we are so grateful for this. Setup/Break-down was all done quickly and with no hassle/issues. I could go on with how great they were but if you're thinking of hiring this band then the answer is simple, just go and do it!"

"My wife and I had TIDE play at our wedding at Notley Abbey a few weeks ago and they were amazing! They ensured their setting up and sound checks worked around our schedule and prior to the big day were really pro-active in getting in contact with us to make sure everything was in place. On the day we had them play 3 x 40 minute sets with DJ'ing in between - and what a difference the live band had on our night! For every second they played we had a packed dance floor which is exactly what we were hoping for. Great songs, super energy, an amazing performance and we can't thank them enough for playing a few extras at the end of the night to the baying crowd who could have been there for hours more! Thanks again guys for making our wedding so memorable. "

"Well what can we say about Crimson Sky... they were amazing! A band really makes an occasion and they definitely made ours. Everyone commented on how good they were and even though it was hot they managed to keep everyone dancing until the very end! Their choice in what to play was spot on and engaged with everyone. A pleasure to work with and dealing with them was so easy and seamless. We have to now find another reason to book them again!! Thank you so much guys for a great night. "

"We just wanted to say thank you so much for Saturday night. Everyone we have spoken to has said how brilliant you guys were and how much they enjoyed the sets. You totally made our evening, we wanted a full dance floor all night and that is exactly what you gave us. We saw Florence and The Machine last night and it reminded me that you had done her song as a surprise - it was perfect! Thank you all again so much!"

"Absolutely incredible, Starlet Beat made the best day of our lives even better! Since our wedding a month ago we have continued to receive comments from guests about how brilliant the band were. Everyone was dancing for the whole night! Karen was great at communicating before the event, taking onboard all our suggestions and including them in either the band's set or DJ sets in-between. She offered to perform our first dance song and the band learnt and played it brilliantly. We were an hour late getting to the dancing from some overrunning speeches but the band were not only remarkably good natured about this they were also really accommodating, fitting the full sets in a shorter time so we still got the full amount, even though we expected to be cut short as it was us running late. We cannot thank you enough! The music was so well arranged and performed with brilliant back-to-back medleys and something for everyone; we didn't leave the dance floor while they were on! So glad we had the full 8-piece lineup too because it was so good. I can't gush enough about how brilliant they were and the wedding card we found when we got back from honeymoon was also such a sweet touch. Book them! You won't regret it. We are already trying to work out whether we can afford an anniversary party as an excuse to have them back...Thank you, thank you, thank you! xxx"

"I would highly recommend The Cheers to anyone. They played at my 50th party last night and were absolutely amazing. Everyone, young and old, were dancing and singing along. Every single message I have had today thanking me for a great night has mentioned how good the band were."

"Guaranteed floor-filling bangers for all ages - whether it be classic bops from the 60s or anthems from the last couple of years, the guys bring incredible energy and enthusiasm to go with their flawless musicianship! We loved having them bring the party to our Oktoberfest and will definitely be booking them for our next big event!"

"The Cheers were amazing, I hired them for my wedding and I cannot recommend them enough. From start to finish there communication was excellent. They spoke with the venue directly and created a stress free experience for me. They answered any question I had, and had a very handy guide to use for timings and common questions from their previous experience. They were brilliant. The band itself is awesome, everyone at the wedding came and asked me where I found the band, they got everyone up and dancing. We had a male and female singer, both were excellent. The song choice they made, had everyone laughing, and bouncing around. You know there brilliant when the venue asked for their details to recommend them to other couples :D I have nothing bad to say, professional throughout, great communication and the music was just perfect. They also learnt our 1st dance song and smashed it out the park. Thanks Ben and the whole band, It was magical Roxanne & Matthew Langley."

"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

"Vertex 3 completely blew us away at our wedding. The vocals were outstanding, we could have listened to them all day. We have had so many people from the wedding comment on how amazing they were. The band were so helpful from start to finish, with the booking process and on the day, everything you could want. If you are thinking about booking Vertex 3, think no longer, we cannot recommend them highly enough."

"We booked The Chandeliers for a special event we were hosting at a cinema- they were superb. Despite giving them a lot of information at the last minute, they were flexible and forthcoming and really had our audience dancing and cheering. I'd highly recommend them to anyone!"
