"First and foremost, I must say that Overdrive put on a great performance that had the audience grooving and moving all night long. Their music was a blend of old school house and garage. The drumming was infectious, creating a truly immersive and engaging experience. But what really set Overdrive apart was their live performance. Both members of the band are clearly skilled musicians and performers, and they all worked together seamlessly to create a cohesive and captivating show. The lead singer had a powerful voice that soared over the music, and the drummer added a live dynamic, instead of the usual drum machine, all of which gave the music an extra layer of complexity and excitement. All in all, I would highly recommend Overdrive to anyone looking for a fun and engaging live electronic dance music experience. Their music and performance was top-notch, and they are sure to get you up and moving on the dance floor. "

"Jay and the band were really, really incredible. I honestly cannot say enough good things about them on the night (and beforehand too!). We loved their play list, their whole energy and they just sounded great. I want to get the video back so I can listen to snippets of them playing again. Helen, thank you so much for all your help all the way through – it’s been amazing working with you and I cannot tell you how much we appreciate it! Our day was so incredible – we just want it all over again."

"The perfect wedding band! I've followed these guys for years and when I got engaged I already knew the band I wanted for our wedding. Real professionals with excellent stage presence & level of performance. They have a stellar list of songs that really get the crowd going & we got so many good comments about them after our wedding."

"These guys played at our wedding last year, and gave us a night to remember. Despite difficult circumstances....lots of kilted men showing things they shouldn't they still made our night! Highly recommend them!"

"We booked the Mellow tone Jazz Trio for our Fathers 80th Birthday celebration Dad is a big Jazz fan and we hoped that the Guys would complement the meal and small gathering we had arranged. To say they did would be an understatement. The musical choice and the musicianship was of the highest order. I would certainly book them again and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else. "

"The band did a brilliant job at my wedding. They really got the crowd going and played a great selection of songs. In amongst all the stress of organising a wedding, the band was one thing I didn't need to worry about. Ben was really responsive to my questions and to the last minute requests that I had. Thanks so much."

"We hired The black Marcs to play at my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, ant very short notice and they were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Their performance truly made the evening special—creating a warm, joyful atmosphere that had everyone smiling, tapping their feet, and dancing all night, They were not only incredibly talented musicians, but also genuinely lovely people who clearly care about making every event memorable. What really stood out was the effort they made to learn a song from our favourite band, which isn’t even part of their usual setlist. It was such a thoughtful touch and meant a lot to all of us. That performance became one of the highlights of the night! We had so many guests comment on how much they enjoyed the music, and we couldn’t agree more. If you’re looking for a duo that’s professional, talented, and brings a personal touch to your event, I couldn’t recommend them more highly."

"I new nothing of this band, only that I'd left it very late to book so had no other choices! All my dealings with Alan were clear, helpful and very obliging. Nothing was too much trouble, from the type of music, number of musicians, outfits, length of playing time/breaks. They arrived in the Cotswolds from Yorkshire early, set up effortlessly, liased with the disco jockey and started playing just before the guests arrived. WOW!! Without exception, everyone danced. They set the whole party alight. How lucky were we to stumble across them. Use them, listen to them! They're fantastic!!!"

"Phenomenal! We can't thank you enough, from the acoustic ceremony singing, to the full blown evening tunes, you absolutely rocked our wedding. Other than us getting hitched you were the talk of the breakfast table! We can't thank you enough, highly recommending you will be an understatement :) Gemma & Emma "

"Initially chose The Leathernecks based on their set list as they had so many of our favourites in their repertoire and much more than just typical wedding songs. I was nervous booking online without having seen them before but I didn’t need to be as they were absolutely amazing. So many of our guests said they were the best band they had seen at a wedding and would pay good money to go and see them. Many of our guests who aren’t usually dancers were on the dance floor all night. One of our guests who is due to marry next year, and was originally only having a DJ, has since booked the Leathernecks after seeing them at our wedding. They played a variety of genres for all guests to enjoy and created an amazing atmosphere. They were the highlight of our wedding. "
