Review Centre: Party Bands

"Having reached the ripe old age of 65 this year, my partner organised a big Grumpy Old Gits Retirement Party for me in a marquee in our garden in Pangbourne. We had over 120 attend & most guests came dressed up as Old Gits (Victor Meldrew, Alf Garnet, Compo, Nora Batty etc.) and we needed a local band to get the place rocking, with a wide variety of covers from the 50's to the present day. Found Mike's band Back2Back (just up the road in Wantage) on this site and were not dissapointed. Fantastic set, got everyone up dancing, entertained us with humour between songs and even threw in a wireless solo guitar trip around the whole marquee. Very impressive PA sytem and lights, all remotely controlled by their own Sound Engineer and six musicians who know how to put on a very professional and tight sounding show. Everyone kept asking how we could afford such a good band. The nice thing is, they were so reasonable, we still had change out of our budget to spend the rest on a decent firework display at 10:30 in the evening, and after that, the band played on!! They were so good in fact, that as we organise the annual Pangbourne Village Fete each year, we have booked them as our main act for the second weekend in June 2019. I advise you try them out for your event before then (or come to the fete next year). Absolute rockers, thanks Mike and the rest of the band, see you in June, if not before at another event. Cheers Dave P."

"BEST BAND WE HAVE EVER HAD! We chose the band as we wanted something different and a little more special for our wedding and thought what better than a 7 piece band. They had the dance floor filled the entire set and every member of the band were so involved and invested in making sure it went well. Their set had a good array of songs which enabled all guests to get involved. We had our wedding at home so organised it all ourselves and yet didn't even know they had turned up as they discretely set up without any interruptions. We had so many guests commenting on how good they were and how it made their night. We are eternally grateful for Back2Skool being a big contribution to making our day so special. Definitely will be booking in the future."

"Well, what can we say about Garage Nation... They were amazing! A band really makes an occasion and they definitely made ours. Everyone commented on how good they were and even though it was hot they managed to keep everyone dancing until the very end! Their choice in what to play was spot on and engaged with everyone. A pleasure to work with and dealing with them was so easy and seamless. We have to find another reason to book them again!! Thank you so much for such a great night. "

"We used Superstars as the primary entertainment for our Export Excellence Awards event, playing in front of several hundred people at St Georges Hall Liverpool. Superstars did a magnificent job, they read the audience age group well and played a great set, getting people up to dance all night long. We had superb feedback… well worth recommending! "

"We would like to thank Jimmy & the band for being so fantastic on our wedding day. Their performance was brilliant, and we have had so much feedback from guests saying how amazing they were. The DJ set following the two sets was also perfect, and ensured that the dancefloor stayed full until the end of the night. Jimmy has also been a pleasure to deal with, and made the process so easy for us."

"Absolutely brilliant band, great vocals and great instrument playing, I booked them for my birthday party, had everyone on the floor dancing, great bunch of people, and they certainly know their crowd. I would recommend this band to anyone who is looking for music for a private function or any pub looking for a good fun filled night. Once again guys THANK YOU."

"Taylormade were absolutely awesome as the duo during our ceremony and got everyone up and bopping away all night long with the band. They are extremely talented and we would highly recommend their acoustic duo and live band. Perhaps most importantly though they are such lovely people, they even helped to dig the wedding party and registrars cars out of the snow to make sure our wedding actually went ahead. I cannot thank them enough for this! Thank you so much Carly and Matt!"
