Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"Like most couples looking for a wedding band... we battled with cost versus quality and variety. I am very particular when it comes to music and thought we wouldn't be able to afford a band for our big day! We stumbled across The pedal Tones and there was no compromise! Fantastic, professional group of lads that know how to have fun, please everyone and raise the party level. Communication leading up to the day was great. Our venue also commented on how well organised and considered they were and not once did we have to worry about their arrival, set list or the flow of our party. They learnt songs for us, complemented our fireworks, interacted with our guests and made us feel so special. Couldn't recommend highly enough!"

"Gordon and his band were fabulous! the music was fantastic! they were exceedingly professional and helpful from start to finish, they helped make our awards ceremony a resounding success. As an event organiser, I would happily recommend them for any corporate event in the future as this is one less headache to worry about and you can relax safe in the knowledge that the entertainment is in such very good hands."

"What a fantastic band! The Pretty Ugly were everything we wanted for our wedding and more. They got everyone up and dancing - and our guests were full of compliments. They were also super easy to work with. Communication was great - and the band understood what we wanted immediately. We can’t recommend them enough. "

"We booked the Leathernecks for our wedding as we love rock and indie music and they were amazing! Please, please book them if you are at all considering this sort of music for your event. All the songs were perfectly done (in some cases better than the original!), and the band themselves are professional, friendly and great guys. Our guests loved them and we had so many people on the night and since who've said how amazing they are. They have a great array of music and we could tell them beforehand any songs we particularly wanted them to play. Great band, awesome music, lovely guys, they made our reception rock!"

"A fantastic country and western singer Lilac is, with an authentic good old country sound, for everyone to sing along too, line dance with and be country happy. Worth every penny. Don’t hesitate book now."

"We just wanted to say a big thank you for last Saturday. You all played beautifully and we particularly liked Canon in D. We had a wonderful day and we were so lucky with the weather. It was a truly perfect day for us. I hope you had a good time too."

"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.

Hi Claudia, Thank you for your feedback of Rory on 09/09/2021 I am delighted that you were happy with the music, and I will pass on your kind feedback to the musicians. Stephanie has been in touch this morning regarding the missing extension and I have made swift enquiry with the musicians. I will keep you updated on how we get on and, if necessary, order a replacement for you. I am sorry to hear that it has gone amiss as we really appreciated the venue providing it for us. Meanwhile, I would like to once again thank you for the booking last Thursday, and I send you our warmest wishes. Thanks, Rory
