Review Centre: Party Bands

"The Marvellous Motown Souls performed for the 2nd year running at a charity ball I organise. I can honestly say I wouldn’t even think about asking anyone else. They are such a fabulous band. They are versatile professional and so very helpful. Lizy has the voice of an angel, and the interaction with the guests is brilliant. I know I sold tickets for the event because they were playing. Thank you for helping make ICE Ball 2017 such a success xx"

"Gentlemen... what a fantastic band. We see bands here every week but you guys were miles better than any we've ever seen. I am not working today so have spoken with the manager on duty to leave a comment for you. Perhaps then some of our other clients will choose you for their functions at Achnagairn House. Hope you made it safely back down the road last night. Hope to see you all soon again."

"My partner and I spent ages looking for the perfect band for our wedding and even though we live in London and the band are from Liverpool, as soon as we saw them we knew we had to book them. Let me just say - they did NOT disappoint. Micki sang our first dance song "All Of Me" so beautifully and we'll remember that special moment forever. After that the party really started and everybody danced all night long. We loved that the band included sax, as you don't always get that option with a smaller line up. The whole band were just incredible and great performers too. Micki's voice is literally one of the best I've heard live. Book them, you won't regret it!"

"Regarding 21C, our feedback is all very positive. The band were fantastic live- whilst the video on-line was good, it doesn't really do them justice. The quality of the sound & their performance was excellent. Their choice of songs was also just right, as was their interaction with our (occasionally slightly mad & inebriated) guests! They got everyone dancing and created a great atmosphere. Probably the best sign is that many people (including the discerning music lovers amongst the guests) told me later how much they had enjoyed the music & asked me who the band was/ how I had found them. The DJ was also great at maintaining the tempo & atmosphere. She did a great job of finding the spanish language tracks & mixing them into the night. But at the same time she adapted in order to keep everyone on the dance floor. Everyone was very flexible considering that the music started an hour later than planned & that they were interrupted for a few unexpected hiccups. We really appreciated therefore that everyone stayed until 1am and were still there packing up when we left. They were also great at checking with me if we wanted to stick to the original plan given the delay, how we wanted the music for the bouquet/ garter throwing etc. All in all, everyone was excellent & topped off a great day. I would happily recommend the band & the DJ for anyone's event."

"Great band, we hired them for our wedding reception and they were absolutely fantastic. All of our guests agree, as they have all been messaging me and talking about them for weeks after. Would highly recommend, they will keep you dancing all night."

"We had Goldsworth Gerry play at our 40th birthday party in our garden. They were excellent entertainment with a great range of song choices. These guys are super professional and courteous - they set up early which was super easy/slick, played on-time and even did an encore! They really made our party special and memorable, it was such fun to have them play. I would highly recommend them and if we have any other events in the future we will definitely use them. I think they are very good value for money as well, they are very accommodating. Thanks GG!"

"My new wife and I booked 106 miles to Chicago for our wedding. We were looking for a band with a set list of songs that people were going to know and dance to… and with 106 Miles to Chicago we got all that and more! Very professional, great interaction with the audience and a set list that kept us and our guests dancing and singing from the first song to the last. Andy finished off the evening with a DJ set that picked up exactly where the live performance finished, with everyone dancing and singing along until it was time to go home. 106 Miles to Chicago are excellent - They definitely helped make our day memorable.

"Saturday night saw the highly anticipated and another eagerly awaited return to ‘The Crown’ Family Pub and Live Music Venue, 749 Lincoln Road, Peterborough, PE1 3HD, of Top Cambridge Party Band ‘Under The Covers!’ They are ‘Simply The Best’ 3 Piece band that sound like a 4 piece we have had playing from outside of Peterborough! ?? Fronted by the charismatic Lead Singer and Bass player ‘Thomas Pollyn’ ??who literally fanned the audience from start to finish with his legendary ‘Long Necked Bass!’ making no need for our air conditioning!, the band started the 1st set the way they meant to go on with with ‘Summer of 69’ featuring brilliant Lead and backing vocal harmonies from ‘Thom’ and Lead guitarist’ ‘Christian Jones’ ??and it was ‘Party Time’ once again as we were quickly taken back through the decades!??? We then got 3 absolute classics in a row, ‘ Shake rattle and roll’ by Bill Haley and His Comets ? ☄️ from 1955 and ‘Build me up buttercup’ by The Foundations ‘Twist and shout’ by The Beatles, which featured great drumming by ‘Lewis Dunmore’ ? There was some really ‘refreshing’ song choices again from this band! In particular ‘Escape’ (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes from 1979!? Great humour in the band! Thom: “This is about a man called Johnny!” Christian: “Where does he go?” Thom: “He just goes!” Lol ?? A great version of ‘Johnny B Goode’ followed with excellent Lead Guitar from ‘Christian! ? ‘Play That Funky Music’ with ‘Thom’s’ bass playing giving ‘Mark King from ‘Funk Band’ Level 42 a run for his money!, ‘I want to break Free’ and ‘The Best’ by Tina Turner took us to one of the definite highlights of the 1st Set! ‘A Message to you Rudy’ by The Specials which was worth the ‘Free Admission Price ‘Alone! ????? ‘Sweet Home Alabama’?? and then ‘500 Miles’ by The Proclaimers closed the 1st set in style and demonstrated again the great diversity in this great band! Set 2 started strongly with ‘Let Me Entertain You’ and ‘Chelsea Dagger’ It was then ABBA time with ‘Does your mother know’ and ‘Mama Mia’?‍???‍♀️?‍?? Next up was the highly anticipated and eagerly awaited Ska 2-Tone section of: ‘Lip up Fatty’ ? by Bad Manners ‘Monkey man’? by The Specials and ‘Baggy Trousers’? by Madness which was awesome! ??? ‘I bet you look good on the Dancefloor’, ‘Sex on Fire’? ‘Teenage Dirtbag’, Mr Brightside’ and ‘Sweet Caroline’ took us to set closer ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ by Oasis. A well deserved Encore saw the band play the anthemic ‘Living On A Prayer’ by ‘Bon Jovi’ with again incredible Lead and backing vocals from the band! ???? BIG Thank you to ‘Under The Covers’ who we look forward to bringing back next year! ?"

"We wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for the brilliant music at our wedding! You were consummate professionals and had an amazing energy on the stage – as well as being great musicians of course – and kept the dance floor packed with happy bodies all night. We all had the best time! Nearly everyone I spoke to made a point of saying what a great band you were, and I was definitely torn between talking to people and just dancing the night away (actually leaning more to the latter…!). Thank you, also, for learning our first dance song, and for helping with the iPad between sets."

"We had The Upbeats sing our first dance and throughout our evening of our wedding. They were absolutely fantastic, we couldn’t have asked for a better duo. Thank you for making our wedding special and one to remember."
