"It was absolutely amazing. They read the crowd and knew exactly what would get them going. Everyone we have spoken to has commented on how good they were. I have got no idea if they played any of the songs we chose as I was having such a good time. I am so glad that we had Andy and Primed make our special day even more special and memorable. Thank you so much for all your help too. Many thanks"

"What an EPIC band and a great group of people! The wedding music is either an easy decision or quite frankly a complete nightmare for some. Being a musician myself, I found it difficult to decide between a number of excellent choices of bands. But having followed not only their professional videos, but those recorded on phones in numerous events, the The Line Up were the clear winners. They play all the hits as expected, ranging from the 60's to the present day, but their versatility was one of the biggest highlights for us. Our key song choices were of course included in their set, but being thoroughbred musicians, this band is able to interchange instruments and vocals among each other for whoever best suits a particular song. That's some impressive stuff! We cannot recommend this band highly enough for any occasion (especially weddings!). Their performance was of course the highlight of the day, but the communication between customer and manager for months prior the big day was equally as impressive. They were clear and concise, and prompt in answering all questions asked. All requests were honoured without question and the level of rapport and trust continued to build with every message. The only negative I can think of is that the experience has now ended....and maybe when they allowed my wife to sing! (Sorry dear!) Thanks again guys, you really made our day all the richer and we hope to see you again in some other event. "

"Liam and I wanted to email to send a big thank you for the performance you gave at our wedding last month. All the guests were truly impressed and loved the mix of soul, dance and rock covers that went down so well with young and older guests alike! We’ve had many compliments since, saying you were one of the best wedding bands our guests had seen. We also wanted to convey our gratitude for taking the time to learn our first dance song and perform it so beautifully, thanks for being part of such a special moment for us."

"We've had the absolute pleasure to have Ben and Joel play at our wedding during the reception. From lending us their keyboard for the ceremony to setting up to play at the drinks reception, to playing beautifully, they've been incredible throughout the day. We thoroughly recommend them for your event, whatever it might be. Ben and Joel, thank you once again for coming all the way to York and honouring us with your presence and lovely music at our wedding."

"I just wanted to put on record my appreciation of Tim Barton’s efforts and musicianship during my 60th Birthday party celebration last Saturday night. Tim provided a really atmospheric soundtrack to the night, from the Beatles to Bowie to Sinatra. Even Billy Bragg got a look in! It was a perfect accompaniment to the party and Tim coped brilliantly, performing well over the general hubbub of many people who hadn’t seen each other for ages. I would happily book Tim again. "

"Words can not describe how good this band was. From the very first song they had our guests hooked! The dance floor was heaving from beginning to end. The range of their playlists are outstanding, definitely have something for everyone. The quality of their performance was outstanding, and they are such a great bunch of people. We have had so many messages from our guests saying how amazing they all thought the band was, and there were a lot of aching legs and feet the next day due to all the dancing! This band really was the icing on the cake for us, and helped make our day so memorable. We just wish we could do it all again - and if we did, we would definitely be having Garage Nation! Thank you so much!"

"This band are the real deal. I have never known a band put so much effort into a party. James was like road runner in speed with replying throughout and everything you need was covered by him, we were left with no worries on the entertainment front. On the day the band came in good time to setup, their equipment is ridicules compared to what I expected, the sound system is so clear and lights are brilliant. I watched the soundcheck while I was also preparing things and when I heard the final result I knew the evening would be amazing. Song choices were just spot on, Liz can sing anything and they actually ended up playing for about two and a half hours as people just wanted to keep partying. I booked them for a couple of hours originally. I will conclude by saying James and his band deserve every penny they get, they will do a proper job and are all around down to earth people and brilliant musicians."
