"We were so pleased that we chose The Blue Suede Shoes for our wedding, the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone was dancing. We had been quite nervous about choosing a band which we hadn’t heard live before but The Blue Suede Shoes were the first band we looked at and I am so pleased we chose them. Ben was great at communicating with us before the wedding, we chose a four piece with the saxophone and that really added something, they were great. Highly recommended and can't thank them enough."

"Dear Chris, Just a quick message to thank the band for an absolutely fantastic session last night. They were all brilliant and people loved dancing the night away. The only thing wrong was that it was all over too fast. Please pass on my thanks, and from all the family too! Brilliant! Best wishes, Sarah"

"We booked Shaun through this site for a joint family party. My husband in particular is a huge UB40 fan and as a result their music has played a big part in our families lives so we arranged Shaun to do a set at the party. He was phenomenal. So many people commented on how good he was and how much he sounded like Ally Campbell. We all had such a lovely evening and Shaun made it even more special getting all our family and friends on the dance floor reminiscing and singing along. Amazing memories for us all. I would definitely book Shaun again and highly recommend him to any UB40 or Reggae fans. Shaun's communication in the lead up to the event was also exemplary and he was a lovely lovely guy. Thank you Shaun."

"This band are top quality, professional and authentic. The singer is a very special performer. Her ability to touch your heart with her interpretations of classic songs, makes you feel as if they are her own. This is what made people come back time after time to my venues and parties to hear her and her very talented musicians."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elephants in the Room – Truly Made My Night I had Elephants in the Room play at my 60th birthday party, and I genuinely couldn’t have wished for anything more special. From the very first song, they filled the room with warmth, joy, and incredible energy. It felt as though they weren’t just performing at the party — they were celebrating with us. Their music was outstanding, but what touched me most was the heart they put into every performance. They read the room beautifully, lifted the atmosphere, and even got people dancing who I honestly never expected to see on a dance floor again! Guests are still telling me how amazing the band were. It’s rare to find musicians who are not only so talented, but also so genuine and committed to making your event unforgettable. Thanks to Elephants in the Room, my 60th birthday became a night full of laughter, dancing, and memories I’ll cherish for years to come. Thank you, Elephants in the Room, for giving me a celebration that truly meant the world to me."

Thanks for the review and your kind words Iain. It felt like a team effort - you, your family and guests and the band - and between us we had the best time! We really appreciated your generous hospitality and how you made us feel welcome. All the very best. Until the next time, Peter

"We booked this amazing band for a big birthday party in September. Their versatility and musical ability enabled all the guests to experience a variety of music including rock, soul and old and new RnB styles. They arranged covers to suit the occasion and had everybody singing along, dancing and really enjoying themselves. They played background music at first so that people could chat and moved onto more lively numbers as the evening went on. The female singer has a beautiful voice! I would highly recommend this talented group of musicians for any event. You will be enthralled and entertained and certainly not disappointed! "
