"I absolutely loved this pair. I recently planned a wedding in Duns, Scotland and Sally & Graham drove over an hour to play about 3 hours at my event. Everything went completely perfectly, from our communication beforehand, the song list, them adding songs I requested, the location and sound quality for their sets, and setup/tear down. I wanted a relaxed, acoustic sound with talented musicians definitely not a DJ party wedding band, so this duo was perfect for that. This website and this band are excellent value for the range and, again, quality of the music, 100% worth the price and more. Before the event, I gave them some some requests including Africa by Toto, which they REWROTE and learned in their own style (HUGE HIT and really surprised my husband). Also we coordinated a place for them to setup, the times of the sets, and what meals they wanted to have, and everything went off without a hitch. They were also so very sweet and wonderful people that they really impressed all my guests who were complimentary and wondering where I found such an amazing band. One of the best things about the Scotswood Acoustic Duo is how their song list covers a huge variety of music that they somehow play all equally wonderfully. So everyone's music tastes were satisfied and it made for very interesting listening, this was one of the compliments I heard alot. There are just so many nice things to say, please book this band and get them doing music full time because they are AMAZING!"

"Phoebe and the band were amazing. We searched for quite a while to find a band we really liked and we certainly weren't disappointed with Stargazers. From their manager’s communication before the wedding to their sets on the night I really can't recommend these guys enough. They got the party going and all of our guests commented on how great they were. Amazing set list - they made our night! Thank you so much guys. We are so happy we chose you!"

"We booked Evelyn and the Band for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! We found choosing a band really tricky knowing that it was something we both really cared about and prioritised, wanting the party at our wedding to be perfect - after getting in touch with the band for more live videos of them performing, we knew we'd found what we were looking for! They were absolutely fantastic and quite literally had the entire wedding party on the dance floor - so many people commented on how amazing they were, both on the night itself and many times since! Evelyn is a phenomenal singer and the band are just so talented, they made the songs their own, brought the party (conga line behind the trombone player) and even had the groom up to play trumpet for a song! Great song lists, very talented musicians, so easy to work with, so friendly and accommodating, can't thank them enough! 11/10!"

"Fuego were simply the best and we couldn't have imagined any other musicians we'd rather had danced to at the end of our special day. They were very helpful and keen to discuss the playlist before the big day as well as confirm timings for set up and their sets. They listened to our ideas and made excellent recommendations. On the day, they arrived promptly (despite the wedding being in a field in the middle of nowhere!) and set up quietly in the background. We were able to time it so we could use their mic for our speeches which was very handy. All the members of the band were very polite and friendly. The music they produced was just fantastic and we had so many amazing comments about them. They played a mixture of classics and contemporary songs which allowed everyone to get going onto the dance floor in no time. Noelle’s voice is just wow and the Latin covers are sublime. If you want to party the night away with a fun, friendly band who have a unique Latin flare I'd definitely recommend hiring these guys. "

"We had a fantastic night with the Jive collective. Calvin, Jimmy, Ollie & Andy played beautifully and we have not stopped hearing praises from all our guests. It was great they could learn our first dance, it really kicked off the dancefloor. Would love to see you play again sometime. The booking process was really easy and Sarah-Jane (agent) was always quick to respond to questions and queries. James & Eleanor"

"Just a note to say thank you all for treating us to an evening of wonderful music and entertainment. It was just what we had hoped for and more, we could not have been more delighted. In essence the two brilliant sets of music it hit all the right notes catering for a very wide age-range. We had many enquiries after the event as to how we found the band so I have been very happily referring them. We have been to many events recently and none of the live bands have come anywhere close to your standard, so thanks so much for saying 'Yes' to our initial enquiry. When looking at bands on the internet, (I listened to what seemed to be hundreds), I drew up a short list, then listened to all the demo tracks and videos and put my top four in order of priority. This I then asked my husband to listen to (as it was his birthday), and his top four were pretty much the same with 21C being number 1 on both lists! My only concern, once we had decided, was that you might say 'No sorry we don't travel to Shropshire', so I was very relieved and happy when you said 'Yes'! Also, the fact that the band were early and happy to set up themselves meant no hassle for us on the night. The only downside is that it was over too quickly and I am trying to rack my brains to think of an excuse to do it all over again. Our youngest son does have a 21st to sort out, so you never know, you might be hearing from us again. Just by way of thanks for your help Helen, and to Jay and the boys for driving all the way to Shropshire to play for us, a separate gift is winging it's way to you."

"We originally booked Stargazers for our wedding in 2022, and we were so pleased to finally have them at our wedding in 2023 after it was moved due to illness. They were incredible in the run up to the event, and on the day their performance blew us away. Every guest commented how amazing they were, their set list was such a brilliant mix of classics and new songs, to have our first dance with them was a real pleasure! I couldn't recommend them enough!! Thank you to you all for making the wedding night truly memorable for us all - if we ever need a live band in the future then we will definitely be getting in touch! AMAZING!! "

"We were so happy with how our wedding reception played out and Fresh Grooves were a massive part of that, putting on such a good performance with their music. We loved every song and it was great seeing everyone really let their hair down and have a good time. We'd definitely recommend Fresh Grooves, they were fantastic all night!"

"Absolutely brilliant !!! Every single person was dancing by the end of the evening. Many guests have commented that the band was fantastic. Worth every penny. Particularly loved Oasis, Mr Brightside, Kings of Leonards, superstitious and surprisingly Park Life !! Thanks Tim and gang. "
