"Absolute played at Fréa’s Annual St Patrick's Day Ball in Manchester this year (2026). They were fantastic! The dance floor was full from the beginning to the end of their performance. They played a fantastic selection of songs that appealed to all taste and were a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Absolute.

"I know I’m repeating a lot of comments on here but this band made our wedding, they were fantastic from start to finish. We had Chris and Gabrielle play the ceremony and then play a couple of sets in the afternoon and they were brilliant. They learned some songs for our ceremony and nailed them. We had so many fantastic comments about them from our guests. Their sets through the day were superb as well, some brilliant songs which kept our guests entertained, couldn’t have asked for more. In the evening they were joined by the wider band who took it to the next level for the party. The songs they played they filled the floor all night and performed them first class. They even learned the song for our first dance and just made it extra special. So many good things to say about them, they were so professional throughout the entire event I wish I could do it all again. Thank you so much Relative Cool, you made our wedding, you were brilliant in every way! We will definitely hire you again for any event in the future! "

"Another amazing wedding event last night with the fabulous Soul'N'Funk, Lee and Kate’s first dance ‘You Send Me’ Gregory Porter. Performed for the first time by the band went down a treat to the surprised Bride. Guest trumpet player for the evening, the hugely talented, and very nice guy…… Bryan Corbett - Brand New Heavies."

"I’ve seen the pop pickers a few times before and only they would do for the party I wanted to give my mum. The music of her younger days ? That being said, everyone had an amazing time and most were up dancing at some point or dancing in their seats. Will definitely book again for future events. Highly recommend to anyone that wants a fun filled time. Thank you ? "
