Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"Art Gecko played at our Yorkshire wedding in mid June. We asked them if they could play outside if the weather was good and the guys were very happy to do so! They delivered amazing two sets and our guests absolutely loved it. They got the vibe spot on and carefully curated song choices to match our guests’ energy. They were the perfect choice for our wedding and we’d recommend them to anyone! Thanks so much for your input & making our day truly special. "

"Saturday night saw the highly anticipated and another eagerly awaited return to ‘The Crown’ Family Pub and Live Music Venue, 749 Lincoln Road, Peterborough, PE1 3HD, of Top Cambridge Party Band ‘Under The Covers!’ They are ‘Simply The Best’ 3 Piece band that sound like a 4 piece we have had playing from outside of Peterborough! ?? Fronted by the charismatic Lead Singer and Bass player ‘Thomas Pollyn’ ??who literally fanned the audience from start to finish with his legendary ‘Long Necked Bass!’ making no need for our air conditioning!, the band started the 1st set the way they meant to go on with with ‘Summer of 69’ featuring brilliant Lead and backing vocal harmonies from ‘Thom’ and Lead guitarist’ ‘Christian Jones’ ??and it was ‘Party Time’ once again as we were quickly taken back through the decades!??? We then got 3 absolute classics in a row, ‘ Shake rattle and roll’ by Bill Haley and His Comets ? ☄️ from 1955 and ‘Build me up buttercup’ by The Foundations ‘Twist and shout’ by The Beatles, which featured great drumming by ‘Lewis Dunmore’ ? There was some really ‘refreshing’ song choices again from this band! In particular ‘Escape’ (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes from 1979!? Great humour in the band! Thom: “This is about a man called Johnny!” Christian: “Where does he go?” Thom: “He just goes!” Lol ?? A great version of ‘Johnny B Goode’ followed with excellent Lead Guitar from ‘Christian! ? ‘Play That Funky Music’ with ‘Thom’s’ bass playing giving ‘Mark King from ‘Funk Band’ Level 42 a run for his money!, ‘I want to break Free’ and ‘The Best’ by Tina Turner took us to one of the definite highlights of the 1st Set! ‘A Message to you Rudy’ by The Specials which was worth the ‘Free Admission Price ‘Alone! ????? ‘Sweet Home Alabama’?? and then ‘500 Miles’ by The Proclaimers closed the 1st set in style and demonstrated again the great diversity in this great band! Set 2 started strongly with ‘Let Me Entertain You’ and ‘Chelsea Dagger’ It was then ABBA time with ‘Does your mother know’ and ‘Mama Mia’?‍???‍♀️?‍?? Next up was the highly anticipated and eagerly awaited Ska 2-Tone section of: ‘Lip up Fatty’ ? by Bad Manners ‘Monkey man’? by The Specials and ‘Baggy Trousers’? by Madness which was awesome! ??? ‘I bet you look good on the Dancefloor’, ‘Sex on Fire’? ‘Teenage Dirtbag’, Mr Brightside’ and ‘Sweet Caroline’ took us to set closer ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ by Oasis. A well deserved Encore saw the band play the anthemic ‘Living On A Prayer’ by ‘Bon Jovi’ with again incredible Lead and backing vocals from the band! ???? BIG Thank you to ‘Under The Covers’ who we look forward to bringing back next year! ?"

"I can't speak highly enough of these guys. They played our wedding day with both an acoustic day set and a very lively evening set. Their playlist was excellent, with a very varied choice of music, all of which fit the atmosphere of the day perfectly. We had requested a specific first dance, which the band had offered to learn from scratch and it turned out to be perfect. Throughout the day just about everyone one of our guests had approached either my wife or I to enquire as to where these guys had come from - even more so in the evening when the drinks were flowing and the dance floor was overflowing!! All I can really say is that if you are considering booking The Johnhouse Duo for any occasion and are slightly undecided at this point, I can honestly say you will not be disappointed. Awesome Band"

".....a truly memorable performance at our wedding. We absolutely loved the ceremony music.....The Queen of Sheba was most fitting for the entrance and my mother noticed and loved all her requests. Thank you so much Cherry Trio for being able to translate exactly the atmosphere I was trying to create into reality, and for being such professionals. You hit the nail on the head with all of it - the music was a highlight."

"Thank you Dan and the Beskydy band, you made our celebration so much fun and memorable. From the start you answered every query promptly and were so accommodating to all our needs. We only had the hall for such a short time and you played for as long as you could. You saw when the guests needed upbeat music and when we needed a rest! Thank you so much for giving so much energy and warmth to the party, everyone loved it so much and the music was so beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere. All the best, Gaby"

"Honestly, I can't tell you how happy you made Adam and I, so many people asked where we found you etc and everyone we've heard from absolutely loved you! My Dad's wedding gift was paying for us to have a band, he’s been very ill recently and you made his night too, although he wasn't able to dance. Music is so very important, just keep doing exactly what you do. Thank you again X”"

"This is an amazing band, totally professional, totally reliable and a joy to have at any event. Every guest loved them and would return to see them play, they get the audience involved and are a total asset to any event. Would definitely employ them again, they understand what you need them to do and are flexible and incredibly easy to work with, a great price and worth it if you want your event to go off with a huge bang.

"The band were amazing. They covered songs from every year of Take That and the dance floor was packed all night. They were professional, polite and listened to what I wanted, ensuring that everyone had a fantastic night. Everyone is still buzzing about the group and many have added them on Twitter and Facebook. The following day my Facebook was going mad with comments and messages about the group. More than happy to pay what we did. Exceptional value for money and the group worked with me to ensure their time was used well! They even took time out of their evening to pose for photos with the guests. Thank you so much!"

"House of Chords are second to none. They played exactly what was needed and the dance floor was never empty. Hugely popular and very professional; I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others who want their party to be memorable. People have not stopped talking about them since they played for us and I’ve already been asked when they can come again. The boys are the talk of the Regiment! Terrific value for money. In a word – Brilliant."
