"We can't thank you enough for the amazing live music you played for our wedding reception on Saturday at Pimhill Barn. So many people have said you made their evening and you certainly made ours! The music meant I didn't stop dancing and I loved every second - our wedding wouldn't have been the same without you. Thank you so much and can't wait to see you when you are next playing in Shrewsbury (please let me know as all my friends keep asking). All the best, Mr & Mrs Groves"

"It's my first time booking live music and I have to say that they are great!!! Very fast in responding and very professional and kind and very present in every question I had during the booking! They also organised a Zoom call with the band, that was great to speak with them before to book! They did an amazing job at our wedding!!! We want to have another event soon so we can book them again! Thank you so much!"

"Sunny is a top musician! He's brilliant with his audience, whether adults or children, and always gets them to join in. I've booked him several times and found him reliable and easy to deal with. Thank you. "

"Thank you so much for your fantastic performance on Wednesday which unfortunately I wasn’t able to see too much of as I was on the door most of the evening though everyone came out with a smile on their face and said what a fantastic evening they had had which I have to say was largely down to you. Thank you so so much. Hope to see you again soon."

"I hired Carousel Duo for my mum's 70th birthday party in our house and they were just great. Booking was easy and straightforward; they arrived on time and set up in our living room; they were just absolute pros! And of course the music was fab! A great range of tracks from the 60s and 70s and perfect for my mum and her friends to dance around to. They even brought lights, which made all the difference in creating a groovy atmosphere in our living room. If you're thinking of having a special party, even in your own home, these guys are perfect! Just push the furniture back and get dancing!"

"Kirsty was absolutely incredible and we’re so glad we booked her for our wedding! Over the last couple of years we’ve been to a number of weddings, none of which had a dance floor you didn’t want to leave, and as a result we were really wary when booking our DJ. We wanted to dance! We had a long list of things that were very important to us and finding someone that really understood our vision was absolutely essential. We’d met with a few DJ’s, none of which were giving us the right ‘vibe’ and then we found Kirsty. We had a phone call with her, during which we discussed every item on our very long list of requirements and she just GOT IT. She made us feel so at ease and reassured us that she understood exactly what we were looking for. My Wife and I both have incredibly varied music tastes which were catered for perfectly by Kirsty! Kirsty is SO organised. She sent us a document detailing everything she needed from us to do her job excellently. One of the items we were very concerned about was our ‘Do Not Play’ list, Kirsty was SO respectful of it from our very first conversation, and we just knew we had nothing to fear. We each made her a playlist, showcasing our individual music tastes, and she was able to blend them together perfectly on the night in a way that not only perfectly suited us, but enticed our guests, of all ages, onto the dance floor. We got married on the longest and hottest day of the year, 34°C and it wasn’t dark until gone 10:30pm but that didn’t matter, her playlist on the night (which she sent a copy of to us post wedding, which we loved) was so perfectly curated, people were dancing from the second she set up until we had to turn the music off. Every song on our ‘Must Play List’ was ticked off at the perfect time throughout the night, she was true to her promise and didn’t allow anybody to make requests (one of our big no-no’s as we’d had Uncles threaten some very questionable song requests leading up to the wedding). My personal favourite part of Kirsty’s set was probably the last half hour, she read the dance floor perfectly banger after banger after banger, and perfectly timed our final song with the music cut off time which made our venue very happy. She also played us out with a little personalised song that everybody loved! We had so many compliments on the music from our guests!! All of her equipment was excellent and set the vibe perfectly, she clearly knows her equipment very well because it took her no time to set up or pack away at the end of the night. Fantastic lights which didn’t do that really annoying thing of nearly blinding you as they spin around the room, a personal pet peeve of mine. Her speakers were excellent and perfectly balanced, not too bass-y and set to the perfect volume to sing your lungs out but not go to bed with a ringing in your ears! She came and said hi as she arrived to check in with us, then said goodbye and had a bit of a chat with us as she packed away at the end of the night, but other than that, she didn’t speak to us whilst playing her set enabling us to fully enjoy ourselves and stay in the moment. Thank you for that! Kirsty is super on top of all of her paperwork, up to date with insurance and PAT tests, which will be required by any venue, so to have that presented to us without needing to ask helped to relieve some of the organisational stress surrounding the wedding. Every time we thought it was probably time to check in with her leading up to the wedding, she’d beat us to it, again, giving us one less thing to remember to do. Honestly, we can’t thank you enough for being so on top of everything and giving us no doubts that we could rely on you ♥ Our only regret is that we didn’t book Kirsty for her acoustic set during the day as she has an incredible voice we wish we’d gotten to hear more of! Thank you so much for all of your help throughout the process, for putting up with our requests and concerns and for making the evening of our wedding an absolutely cracking party!! We’ll be back in touch for our next event!!!"

"I hired The Line Up to play at my husbands surprise 40th birthday party. I can’t recommend the band enough, nothing was too much trouble ( they even dressed up as Peaky Blinders in keeping with the theme of the party). They read the room and knew how to keep everyone on the dance floor, I’ve had so many positive comments about the band from the party guests and I can honestly say I would hire them again in a heart beat!"

"Meg was wonderful. She made everything so easy and straightforward to arrange up to the wedding day as well as on the day. So friendly and approachable I wouldn't hesitate to have her play at an event again. "
