Review Centre: Strolling / Roaming Bands

"Luke and the rest of the band were absolutely amazing and far exceeded our expectations and truly made the day extra special. Right from the music for the ceremony through to the first dances and the whole set...they were fantastic. They really looked like they were enjoying it too and their enthusiasm didn't falter even on the last song! All of our guests have commented on how good they were and how they made the night. The fact that the dance floor was always full speaks volumes and we would highly recommend Absolute for any event. A heartfelt thank you to Luke and all of the band for a truly amazing performance and for making our day extra special! Anna and Mick Madden, wedding at Old Thorns Manor in Hampshire – 6th August 2017 "

"Absolute played at Fréa’s Annual St Patrick's Day Ball in Manchester this year (2026). They were fantastic! The dance floor was full from the beginning to the end of their performance. They played a fantastic selection of songs that appealed to all taste and were a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Absolute.

"Swing Mode Vintage absolutely made our day: they were absolutely the perfect evening entertainment for our wedding! The music was really really cool, they had people up and dancing and just really brought a great atmosphere with them. It was fantastic. The band were all really kind and well organised; there was zero stress & zero faff. They got everything set up in good time including background music between the two sets. They took a special request for our first dance and it was really really wonderful. Overall we were just thrilled with the music: it was really really cool stuff - modern and funky, but most important just great fun!"

"I hired The Romantics to play at my wedding last year - They were amazing and got everyone (which was a fairly international crowd) on the dancefloor in no time! We picked our songs and they came up with the rest. They were also really friendly and smiley with all of our guests - I highly recommend these guys. "

"Hi Paul & the awesome Das Brass, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding, you guys were amazing and really made the evening. So many people said how great you were and loved our first dance. We’re very grateful for the impromptu practice we did beforehand, that was a real highlight. Thanks Phil & Jo"

"Ella was amazing, super talent, super cool. She played at mine and my daughters joint 18/50 birthday party. She turned up with her guitar, speaker and her amazing voice. She played 2 sets, first in the garden then indoors and the party took off from there. There was a lot of love in the room for her from everyone that had the pleasure to see and listen to her play."

"We couldn't have been more pleased that we picked The Romantics as our wedding band. Aside from being really talented musicians and incredibly professional in the lead up to the wedding, they were absolutely phenomenal on the day and really got everyone involved. The fact that they moved around was also amazing, as it worked well for a summer's evening when people wanted to be outdoors, as they also got to dance and sing along outside without missing out. I couldn't recommend them enough to anyone looking for a band for an event and so many of our guests are still saying what a great choice they were. We absolutely loved you guys! "

"The Ukes of Hazzard performed at our wedding ceremony and reception, and absolutely set the tone for a night to remember. Everything was smooth and professional and we loved the selection of songs. Guests constantly commented on how special they made the occasion, and what a unique and fun band they were. Would highly recommend booking the Ukes of Hazzard for your event if you’re looking something a bit different that guests and attendees will absolutely love!"

"We booked Party Club Brass for our end-of-year corporate celebration in our offices. They performed two lively sets, and the audience loved their vibe! The lads were good fun, easy to work with and had a great repertoire."

"Brass Junkies added a special element to the birthday event this summer with their eclectic mix of New Orleans style tunes. They brought style, character and entertainment, while still allowing the guests to continue with their social chatter and networking. "

"I booked them for my 50th. What a fantastic group! Mitch was in regular contact from the start. I told him what I wanted and they delivered. The band had my guests on their feet dancing, singing but most importantly smiling from the moment they entered. I had them walk in playing past the big windows at the venue as a surprise. My guests loved it. Mitch came over really early and had a look at the entrances in his normal clothes so not to give the game away. He even messaged me from their 'dressing room' (other bar area!) to say guests were still arriving so they would hold on for a bit before the surprise entrance. So professional and thoughtful. The band are really lovely smiley people. I had them acoustic and 'roaming' there was no PA system needed. They were jolly, engaging and their music was superb. In the second set the drummers rocked up on stilts wearing trousers with LEDs on! I had requested 'You'll Never Walk Alone' as the last piece of the set as we are mostly a group of die hard Liverpool supporters. They started slow as per normal, but then put a ska twist on it as Mitch was aware of my love of SKA. It was amazing, everyone was bopping around and singing. I have had messages from everyone at the party saying how amazing the band were. People will be talking about the performance for a long time. Safe to say the entertainment made my 50th party special, unforgettable and fun. I'm so grateful to Mitch and the guys and girl. I love them!!!"
