Review Centre: Party Bands

"Ok…It has taken me far too long to write this. I confess I’m forgetful. However, one thing I haven’t and won’t forget is how incredible these guys are. House of Chords are fantastic. Honestly. We booked them at quite late notice (far later than I was comfortable with because my hubby to be was being very picky about the sound he wanted). We loved that they have an eclectic repertoire and weren’t afraid to ditch the “really popular songs” from their set list in order to accommodate our tastes (there are a few songs we feel are way overplayed at weddings). On the day, they set up smoothly and were quick to introduce themselves to us in person. We had a decidedly uncommon first song choice (Walking on the Waves by Skippinish) and unfazed they found it for us. After this from a recording they kicked into a live set for which I don’t remember there ever being an empty dance floor. From the moment they picked up their instruments to the moment they put them down people were up and dancing, singing along and having fun. You can tell the band love what they do and their enthusiasm is infectious. As the live set wrapped up and we moved into the DJ-ing section of the night, the party songs came out and I distinctly remember a group of our guests teaching the band the cheesy dance routine for “Saturday Night”. I honestly cannot recommend these guys enough. Incredible band, great readers of group mood, infectious energy. Book them – you won’t regret it."

"Hello. I was at Nicky and Elliot’s wedding in Lunga the other week and I just wanted to say what a fantastic job you did! I have never heard such a great band and I wanted to know if you sold CDs as I would love to buy one but can’t find one on your website. "

"The guys were professional, friendly and more importantly put on an awesome show! Many people have since complemented my wife and me, regarding our wedding, stating such amazing things as, “It’s the best wedding I’ve ever been to!” and we both firmly believe that the band played a huge part in this.

"The Mardy Johnny Depps did a 2 hour set at our Wedding and they went above and beyond, their talent is impeccable! The songs they did throughout their set were perfect and suited us incredibly well. Everyone was up dancing and constantly commenting on how amazing they were. I will definitely be recommending them to family & friends for future occasions. "

"Ian and the whole band were absolutely fantastic, we couldn’t have asked for a better group than Spark Up Band for our wedding. They arrived right on time, were completely professional throughout the evening, and brought incredible energy to the dance floor from start to finish. The band was super flexible and happy to take lots of song requests, which made the night feel really personal and fun. Their crowd control was spot-on too — even managing to gracefully handle both the bride’s and groom’s musical fathers who were very keen to join in! Most importantly, they’re just incredibly talented musicians with a great sound — tight, dynamic, and full of life. We’d recommend Spark Up Band to anyone looking for top-notch live music and a fantastic atmosphere."

"Thank you so much again for last night, everyone had a blast and Simon and I couldn't be happier! You were so good at gauging when to play what, and getting people back on the dance floor over and over again! A lot of the guests had never danced a ceilidh (as it was obvious! ?) and you managed to keep everybody on track, well done! "

"Thank you The Northern Reel Collective for a great ceilidh to top off a great day at our fundraising event. We were itching at the bit to dance and you got feet tapping from the start - even during your little sound check. Mike was excellent at calling and so good that even my other half felt confident to get up! As we said to you as you were packing up, we'll definitely be buying tickets for Hogmanay. See you again soon. "

"Mark and his band played last night for my birthday party and they were fantastic, they quickly had everyone up on there feet, nobody wanted the night to end, we could of danced all through the night if we were allowed! Number one complaint about the night from friends today, was how there legs hurt so much today from all the dancing! Mark and his band were highly professional and there sound was fantastic, thank you so much Party Sound for making my evening so special. We would highly recommend this band to anyone and will know doubt ask them to play for us again in the future."
