"We can't wait for our next event so we can book them again! We booked Platinum Band to play at my Birthday party and they were fantastic! The larger line up suited us more as we requested a lot of soul and funk so having a live saxophone was perfect for that. Everyone had such a great time and haven't stopped talking about the band, we can't wait for our next event so we can book them again!"

"Jay and the band were really, really incredible. I honestly cannot say enough good things about them on the night (and beforehand too!). We loved their play list, their whole energy and they just sounded great. I want to get the video back so I can listen to snippets of them playing again. Helen, thank you so much for all your help all the way through – it’s been amazing working with you and I cannot tell you how much we appreciate it! Our day was so incredible – we just want it all over again."

"My Wife and I had the great pleasure of having Fuego perform at our Wedding Reception. They were absolutely incredible!!! We were so impressed by the professionalism and the communication leading up to our Wedding; especially, during and after our Wedding Reception was excellent. Their song repertoire is brilliant and they sound amazing! Our guests were so pleased and we all thoroughly enjoyed their sets. We highly recommend Fuego. They will not disappoint! "

"As a DJ I recently had the pleasure of working alongside "The 90’s Party Band"  at a recent wedding party. I must say these guys really know how to put on a show! Familiar and well-loved pop songs played in a way that kept the guests dancing for the entire set. Thoroughly entertaining, multi talented and clearly love what they do. I absolutely recommend them for any special event that you're planning."

"The Rockpins were brilliant! Matt organised the set in conjunction with our son and his fiancée and they were delighted with the result. The sound and song list was great. Several of the guests were musicians themselves and were hugely impressed. Highly recommended."

"Just what we wanted. We loved our first dance and every song after! I was a sweaty mess by the end because of all the dancing. We got lots of compliments from guests about the band and at least one couple are planning on booking for an upcoming 40th birthday party. They were great guys and hope they enjoyed playing half as much as we enjoyed listening!"

"I have booked this band 3 times now, once for a beer festival in Malvern in 2017 and twice at an outdoor festival, CwmFest in rural Hereforshire in 2017 and 2018..."

"We spent a long time researching bands for our wedding and are so glad that we booked Amplified. They were easy to communicate with leading up to the big day and they arrived and set up with plenty of time on the day. The dance floor was full all evening and all our guests commented on how good they were and really got everyone it the party spirit. We couldn't have asked for a better band :D"

"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!"
