Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"As a wedding venue we get to listen to a huge range of bands with prices varying from £500-£5,000. Sadly price has nothing to do -or so it seems- with professionalism, personality and ability! Jolly Polly and the Pirates is very much at the bottom end of this price spectrum, but very, very much at the top of the performance ratings! To sum them up? They are musicians with really nice personalities who have great technical ability and understanding of sound, mixing and the audience. On bass guitar and vocals is Polly, who is probably one of the most energetic singers we have come across, with great variations, presence and depth. On lead guitar (and keys) Jon has great technical skills and enthusiasm for his role in the band, and on drums (and occasionally keys at the same time!!) a drummer who actually loves his drums - at last someone who realises drums are an instrument, not an object to take out your aggression on, perhaps that is down to his experience and talent. Individually they are great - as a band they are awesome! - Certainly at the top of our list and always hoped for! Alpheton Hall Barns - Historic Suffolk Wedding Venue "

"We had Latina Festivale at one of our Terrace parties. Latina Festivale put on a great show and our guests definitely enjoyed the night. They created a warm and lively atmosphere and we were really impressed with their repertoire, they sang in English and Spanish. The feedback from our guests was also very positive."

"When I was in the UK Sara hired me on trumpet for some gigs - I was seriously impressed with her musicianship and professionalism. I quickly booked her for some gigs in Qatar last year. She's coming back this year, and hopefully many more years to come."

"The service received from last minute musicians was perfect. Quick to respond to any emails and queries and were always professional and courteous. The musician we went with, Gary Trotman - Steelasophical, was the icing on the cake for our wedding day and really did make the day even better than I could ever have imagined. Thank you."

"The Bright Tones played my sister's wedding recently and were fantastic! They got everyone dancing, were energetic and fun, amazing musicians and vocalists. We loved every second and didn't want them to finish. I'd highly recommend them for weddings or parties... So much fun and lovely people!"

"Anna was kind enough to be our first singer on our Live Music nights and she set the bar very high! With a superb voice and friendly nature, managed to get the normally quiet clientele to their feet and we all had a fantastic night! Have already booked for more sets as we couldn't let her get away. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique, professional and stunning performer! "
