"We really want to thank The Blue Suede Shoes for being such a great band for our wedding on 3rd August. They are truly excellent musicians and performers. The lead singer can really sing and each member of the band has real talent. They quickly got people up and dancing and they made the party for us. They also managed to appeal to all of the different generations and they mainly played well known, feel good songs which everyone liked (they also weren't too cheesy, however!). The first dance song we requested (Faith no more, This Guy's in Love with You) was a fantastic cover. The Blue Suede Shoes were great to deal with, from the first e-mail, always responding quickly to queries. They turned up on the day exactly when they said they would to set up and they were helpful, friendly, organised and flexible throughout the evening. Thanks again guys! "

"How great was the music at our wedding! Oh yeah….. Just arrived back from our honeymoon and wanted to pass on our thanks. The music was fab, the lights were amazing and thank you for letting me have five minutes singing summer of 69! Haha! What a blast – never sang with a live band before and it was awesome. Sorry if I was a little drunk!! All the best Daniel and thank you so very much for making our evening special and thanks to all your fab band members too."

"“Absolutely loved this band! They looked and sounded incredible! Completely worth every penny and more! If like us you appreciate good music, played well and don’t want to compromise on it for your wedding then I would strongly recommend hiring this band. Every person I spoke to afterwards said they were the best wedding band they had ever heard and wanted their details. The dance floor was packed from start to finish whilst we got our funk on! Couldn’t be happier with our decision! Thank you so much again. Andy and Zoe x” Rating: 5 out of 5"

"We booked Adele and Andy for our wedding at Hanbury Barns, where they sang whilst our guests arrived through to our drinks reception. They set the perfect tone for our wedding, not to mention their amazing talent! Our guests still talk about them now. Communication was prompt and there approach put us at ease. We would recommend Adele and Andy for any occasion!"

"So that’s two weddings, a family reunion, a charity fundraiser AND we have recommended you to our friends for their daughters’ wedding. We’re thinking about getting divorced and remarrying just so that we can have you play again for us."

"We booked Back on Track for my partners 40th birthday party. They were absolutely fantastic and the feedback from all our guests was amazing and full of praise. They interacted with the audience, played requests within their sets from our guests and added the personal touch with jovial banter. Would not hesitate to book them again and have already recommended them to a friend to play at her daughters wedding."

"I wanted to get in touch now we are back from honeymoon to say thank you so so much for the fab set you guys played for the wedding- we have had so many people compliment us on the brilliant choice in the band and as one of the guests pointed out, I think the only time the dance floor was empty was when you guys went on your break and you even got my uncle dancing who never does! Thank you again, we had a brilliant day and we are so pleased that we had Soulstar as our band."

"We hired The Blue Suede Shoes for our wedding reception in May. We had already married abroad but wanted to have a larger gathering back in the UK where we could invite everyone. On the day we had about 150 people, from new-born's to a couple of ladies who were 90+. So the entertainment was quite important to get right. We didn't know what we were looking for at first, we knew we wanted live music, but we had to cater for all tastes and ages. The Blue Suede Shoes were the first band that both my (new) wife and I agreed on instantly. Thankfully they were available, even though they are Surrey based they were willing to travel deep into Kent. They have a generous play list to choose from, and even have a 'handbook' on their website with a few hints and tips about booking live music (not just restricted to weddings etc...). Importantly, they were willing to learn a couple of other tracks for us - one was our first dance and another was a Robbie Williams track which is one of my wife's favourites. From the start of the booking process Ben was very informative, clear and helpful at every stage. He was easily contacted and able to offer advice where needed. On the day of the reception the band turned up early and started to set-up without any fuss. We had a family friend DJ-ing in the same area in the evening and by the time I'd come over to greet them they'd already sorted everything out themselves. Our reception was in a marquee outside and the weather alternated between strong sunshine and torrential rain. Even though the band had a set-list, they seemed to be able to play appropriate songs for the moment. Playing 'Ain't no sunshine when she's gone' in the middle of torrential rain made everyone laugh and kept peoples spirits up. The band were also happy to ad-lib a bit for the bridal entrance which was very much appreciated. They were great musicians, willing to interact with the guests and very friendly indeed. We would recommend them without question, not just for a wedding but for any party or gathering that needed live music. They were loud enough to be heard, but not so loud that you had to shout over them. The music was perfect to sit and listen to, but energetic enough for many people to get up and dance or it and tap their feet to. Thanks for helping to make or reception so memorable. Matt & Kim"

"Motion picture were incredible! So professional, I didn’t even notice them set up, it was so seamless. They even coordinated learning our first dance song with my sister in law as the vocalist for that song and it was magical! They really set the vibe and we got so many compliments on how great they were. I am a professional musical theatre performer, my husband is an actor and my brother works in the music industry so you can imagine there were lots of musicians etc and they were all blown away and the vibe was amazing. Would deffo recommend, they are professional talented and very slick at what they do."
