"The band played at our wedding back in 2013. It was an amazing day and the icing on the cake was having great music and a full dance floor until late in the night! Everyone commented to us how amazing the band were and they played an fantastic mix songs. Could not recommend highly enough!"

"Talented Jazz duo who created the most amazing atmosphere at our Wedding breakfast. This was a surprise to my Wife and she was thrilled to arrive at the venue to hear them playing. Really talented, professional duo that would be perfect for that special occasion. Thank you both for making our Wedding day special."

"There isn’t a word big enough to explain how incredible the band is! Our guests were all blown away by them and they were the absolute highlight of our big day. We had them parade our guests from one venue to the other and they did that seamlessly and everyone agreed it was the perfect touch. They played a variety of absolute bangers and have something really special to offer. They were professional from beginning to end, they all looked fantastic. You could never regret hiring the brass junkies but would definitely regret not having them!!!! "

"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! ?"

"Just want to say a huge thank you from both Taha and me. You truly made our wedding magical and gave it such an elegant touch. Everybody absolutely loved both the harp and violin during the Nikkah ceremony. I am so glad that we were able to have it outdoors and you made it a dream! Thank you once again for everything over the past couple of months and for being very accommodating. I am so glad that I booked both the string quartet and harp and violin duet for the wedding. I will definitely be in touch for my siblings’ weddings in the future. Wishing you all the success in the world! You truly deserve it."

"Out Of The Blue did a fantastic job especially when the seating was so tight together and they couldn’t always move round, but everyone and for some it the highlight of their day and my son and his bride also said it was something they will never forget. Thank you once again! "

"We loved having Sarah perform here for our first 'Pride Night' since before Covid! She has a great voice and repertoire of songs to choose from, including the ability to request songs via Instagram message that works brilliantly! IF you're after someone to give a nice relaxed vibe whilst enjoying the moment then she's your gal! Certainly looking to book her in again soon!"

"I can’t speak highly enough of Martin. He agreed to learn a half hour set of acoustic songs for our wedding reception at very short notice and absolutely nailed it. Not only does he have the most insane vocal range I’ve ever heard he can turn his hand to any style/genre of music. It was a pleasure having Martin as part of our big day."
