"We had The Cheers play at our wedding in April and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The band were great fun, very talented and got everyone dancing all night. They listened carefully to our song preferences and created a setlist that was perfect for our wedding style. In addition, they played our first song live which made our first dance extra special. They were professional, helpful and friendly, both in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself. The communication was clear throughout and they even arrived slightly earlier so that they weren't setting up during the wedding breakfast. We had been slightly unsure about whether to hire a band as the cost is much higher than a DJ, but we have absolutely no regrets at all, and we would most definitely recommend The Cheers to others."

"It’s March and still raining. I’ve trawled through some serious procrastination to decide where I’m going tonight; at least three decent live music offerings in Chester that I know of. And I’m sure the others were brilliant. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are, in their own words, a “tribute to the British Britpop music scene” and a “powerful combination of passion and quality.” A tribute band, to me, equals lunatic professionalism. To tribute a whole scene is a big ask. Good covers bands are rare enough, taking that enormous and unlikely step beyond random amateur recreation. But these guys really do tick the box of perfectionists, professional curators though. Friday night was time travel night with a set list that captured the point where British alt-rock got (largely) happy and popular (in a good way). A guitar-dominated, looping and lurching opener with Ocean Colour Scene and The Riverboat Song; polished and convincing. The second song in and I’m braving the dance floor with the pointy-shooed brigade. A few songs further and they offer me proof of their professionalism. A very-very-very long time ago I was lucky enough to make it into Brixton Academy and unfortunate enough to catch James on a sincerely off night. And I’ve heard James and Sit Down many times since: at home, on the radio, in DJ sets and covered more than it should be. It's one of those beautiful songs that gets tired through overuse. And on this particular Friday night I heard it come alive; all vitality restored. There were the things I expected; a good dose of Blur and Oasis both, Stereophonics, Bluetones and more, then some referencing back to foundation stones with The Who and The Jam. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience switched between styles and musical voices with conviction; into acoustic things and seamlessly back out again. The magic of seeing grown men dance without a pint in hand happened repeatedly through the two sets. On any given set you pray for that one song you don’t see coming; the track you might flick through on the album that becomes something else entirely live. So it was with Blur’s Charmless Man. That perfect Blur poetry, is simple, direct and delivered with energy. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are a good distance from being charmless. They are careful collectors and curators of songs; fine musicians and performers!"

"Just a quick note to say thank you for arranging Phil at the very last minute. Phil was outstanding and everything we wanted, he was so accommodating and generous with his time and was a real hit with my family and friends. Fantastic and without hesitation would recommend and rebook!"

"The 8 piece band were the perfect choice for our wedding party. Wonderful musicians, hugely talented, and combining that musicianship with a huge sense of fun. The great thing was that the band really cared about our evening and their role within it. They played all the best party music, with a great mix of styles that appealed to all tastes. The band got everyone up and dancing. A wonderful day, and the band were the extra special bit that made our wedding so memorable.I would definitely use the band again and would recommend them to anyone – they are amazing!"

"We were very impressed with the Pure Tones trio. They were professional from start to finish. Before the day they took care to discover the type of music we would like and performed it all with flair. They captured the mood of the evening perfectly and surprised us with a very entertaining last dance that went down very well with everyone! A lot of guests remarked on how great the band were and the dance floor was full all evening! We would happily recommend Pure Tones to anyone looking for the perfect group for their wedding. "

"We booked The Pharaoh's for a birthday party in a local restaurant and they were perfect. The vocals and acoustic guitar were a lovely backdrop as we were eating and then brilliant for dancing to. Leanne has a fabulous voice. The Pharaoh's were very professional and friendly, and the vibe was just what we were looking for. "
