Review Centre: Party Bands

"Thanks so much for a fabulous performance last Saturday. The band really made the night for me, and i hope you got a buzz from it too. You got lots of praise from our friends and even my 78 yr old father in law , although I think he perhaps shouldn't have sat on the table closest to the band! If you need any testimonials we'd be happy to oblige. Thanks once again!"

"The StereoBeats really know how to bring the party! The dancefloor at our wedding was full all night long. From ceilidh dances to GBX dance music - it was the perfect night! Cannot recommend them enough! Amazing communication before & after the wedding too. 10/10."

"Unrecognised genius The Arsenal Tavern, Finsbury Park on Saturday 25 June 2022 That headline was a quote from DAVID BOWIE in Mojo Magazine about Billy RItchie, the keyboard player of MAYHEM, and could easily apply to the band itself. I reviewed them before, having been hugely impressed by the stunning harmonies and clever use of backing tracks, but I have to say, the new incarnation is even better, with Billy on Keyboards and Carol singing with even more assurance as when I first saw them a few years ago. DAVID BOWIE's comment is seen to be apt, the keyboards adding yet another dimension to what was already a very fine band/duo. I went to The Arsenal Tavern to catch the band, out of curiosity, especially when I noted the addition of keyboards. What a nice venue, rather a shame that the crowd was relatively quiet for a Saturday night, but they did warm up in the end - more than that, there was whooping and hollering as Carol and Billy sang "Don't Stop me Now" by Queen and "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen, among many other fine renditions of popular and very danceable songs, including Carol's stirring version of "Feel like a Woman" and Billy's rousing "Light my Fire" with its stunning organ solo and vocal climax producing a roar from the crowd before the song even ended. I still sense that this band has yet more to offer, some of the material could be considered rather lightweight and perhaps too populist, for such a credible force as MAYHEM are. I look forward to seeing them again, perhaps even at this potentially excellent venue. Andrew Staines, Sunday 26 June 2022 "

"The Shooglers were real stars at our wedding in Lochgoilhead in October. They performed a perfect mix of ceilidh and rock covers, sometimes in the same dance! It really had everyone up on the dance floor for most of the evening. Afterwards, everyone wanted to know where we'd got them from including the venue coordinator who sees bands every week. Most of all, they have a great sense of humour - they realise it's all about everyone having a great time. Thanks again guys, you were awesome. "

"Timings were running a bit late on the day of our wedding which meant the band were unable to set up on time. With this in mind, they were professional, polite, and patiently waited until there was space for them to begin setting up. When they began performing, they were exceptional! Would definitely recommend them."

"The Hot Hats were simply brilliant. When we found them we were thrilled with the set lists and knew they would be perfect. Communication was brilliant in the lead up and on the day. Everyone commented on how amazing they were and the dance floor was full. We are so pleased we found them! Thank you for playing such a fantastic part in our day!"

"I struggle to drink alcohol if the band are rubbish even if it is my daughter's wedding day. If I tell you that before they stopped playing I was drunk enough to get off my arse and dance you may gather that they were okay, when I say that in the past thirty years I can count on one hand the number of times I have felt the urge to dance you may gather that I thought they were awesome! I have never before seen a dancefloor that was full from the beginning to the end of the night, a great band with a great set list which I highly recommend for any occasion."

"What a night! What a band! Soul Generations performed beautifully sung and played classics, with their own twist, to create the perfect soundtrack for our celebration. Even their sound check got a round of applause. Our guests loved them. We'd recommend them for any special event. "

"The Spectrum played at our wedding day yesterday and they were fantastic. The dance floor was full all night and they learned two of our favourite songs for our big day which was such a lovely touch. James has been an absolute pleasure to work with and I really hope we get to see these guys perform again soon! Thank you all so, so much for everything xx"

"Absolutely amazing! Radio Dukes played at our wedding and our guests loved it! Prior to playing, booking and arrangements were easy as Mitch was prompt, clear and accommodating meaning we knew exactly what to expect on the day, taking all stress out of it. They made us aware of the music they would play and included three songs of our choice in the set list. The band were all friendly and clearly love what they do which made for a lively atmosphere that really got the party started. Guests danced non-stop. High quality music, stress free booking and set up, great energy and atmosphere. They made our day!"
