Review Centre: Blues Bands

"We were delighted to have a special secret act turn up for our daughters wedding at The Woolacombe Bay Hotel. Our future son-in-law mentioned about two days before the wedding that he would love a “Blues Brothers” tribute band for the wedding music, but knew he’d left it too late to book. We decided to try our hardest to accommodate this request. After contacting Chris from "Those Singing Waiters and 106 Miles to Chicago", we were delighted to find they could travel down to us for the day, and surprise the happy couple. They came into the afray, just as the desserts were being served, and everyone thought it was a couple of the hotel staff trying to entertain the wedding party off the cuff. But it soon became apparent that these two were very professional, and were extremely funny. The event got livelier later when in the second set, they took to the stage as the “Blues Brothers”, and our daughters were invited to do a turn, with “Shout” and “Rescue Me”. We have had a long association within the singing entertainment circuit, with two of our daughters doing solo performing, one of our son-in-laws playing guitar in a band and one of our relatives and a guest at the function is Benny Gallagher of “Gallagher and Lyle” fame. He agreed the afternoon and evening was a total success. We wouldn’t hesitate to re-book this act in the future, when we’ve got over the shock of this years wedding!! "

"The three piece band were fantastic - they were incredibly flexible with start times and the logistics on the day. Every single guest commented about how great the band was and how perfect their style of music was for the wedding reception we had. Would highly recommend!"

"We had the most amazing and magical day. It was overwhelming to be surrounded by people who we love and who had all gone to huge effort to celebrate with us especially so close to Christmas. You all made the day amazing! There are so many people to thank for all of their help on the lead up, on the day and afterwards. Thanks to SoulNFunk, for being a fabulous band and getting everyone dancing Xx"

"We had booked the Mustangs for our wedding on the 10th March 2018 and what can we say... well they were amazing from start to finish. We had over a hundred guests at the wedding and everyone commented on how amazing they were. So many people were up dancing! The only regret we have is that we weren't able to dance more! Big thank you from Mat and Sarah you guys, you helped to make our wedding so special."

"Fabulous night with Capricorn. From the outset, he gauged the flavour and vibe of the venue and the audience. He has a brilliant voice, and his guitar work is really substantial; he's not just a three-chord wonder. Everything he did was technically on point and gave a real feel of the original. He arrived in good time, was friendly, relaxed, and polite, and started promptly. He didn't stint on time set-wise either, we felt very much that he gave a good, long 1st and 2nd half performance. He played a long list of favourite, but not cheesy, tracks, and got the audience singing and on their feet dancing from the start. He was friendly and kept the audience engaged, but didn't fill out the set with a lot of pointless chatter, it was just good solid music, performed really well. We really couldn't fault him and will definitely be having him back. 100% recommended."

"The Starcasters were amazing when they played at our wedding celebration. From the time we booked them the communication was great. The music and singing was first class. They are all very talented. They played a good selection of music and people stayed on the dance floor. We had a lot of people saying how much they enjoyed the music. We would definitely recommend them and look forward to seeing them perform again."

"This long-standing UK jug band capture the knockabout sound of the best Memphis jug bands of the 20s and 30s extremely well in addition to turning their hand to melodic blues, vintage jazz, old timey music and hokum. It all makes for a very fine and fun releas."

"To anyone who wants their party to go with a bang! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Funk N’ Soul excelled themselves at my birthday party last Saturday – they really made the evening for me. What was really brilliant about this band was that they had learned some of my old favourite songs specially for the evening and they brought the house down! They are all full time professional and very accomplished singers and musicians and really lovely, friendly folk too! It would seem that nothing is too much for them – they even played along with my youngest daughter who played Happy Birthday on her trumpet for me! They also looked like they were all having fun performing and the vibe in the marquee was so upbeat that no-one cared about the torrential rain outside! I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a fantastic time! Thanks again guys for making my day! Love Sally"
