Review Centre: Party Bands

"I'm so impressed with Glo! We had a mini 'festival' for my 40th birthday, with some friends' bands playing, and then Glo as the 'headliner'. They were friendly and professional, and flexible with timings and set lengths (since timings didn't go to plan!). They made great song choices that everyone enjoyed, including some really interesting medleys and smooth transitions between songs. And they are very skilled and sound great! I can't recommend them highly enough :)"

Hi Ben. Thanks so much for your fantastic review. Your 40th birthday was such a brilliant idea with you and your friends’ bands playing. It was a really fun atmosphere . We loved being part of your special celebration and are so pleased you all enjoyed it. Thanks again for booking us! Angus, Bruce and Nick.

"As 1st time attendees, we had a super fun time! The caller gave clear instructions and several of the club members (gentlemen in kilts) provided hands-on guidance. Music was great!!! Thanks for a memorable evening. "

"I would like to thank the band for an amazing night. What a party we had. You filled the dance floor from the first song and kept it going until the early hours. Thank you so much for playing a bit extra for us later on in the evening too. Would love to book you again."

"We booked Funk it Up! for our wedding this summer & can not tell you how blown away we were by them. They were ALL absolute stars & Funk it Up! was easily the best part of our day - they brought 100% party vibes! They were an incredibly tight band; every member was an excellent musician & having been a bit of a fusspot about music building up to the day, I could not have been more chuffed. The dance floor was always packed out & the setlist did not let up! I lost count of the number of people who said to us afterwards how brilliant Funk it Up! had been, with the singer Ginger getting top marks from everybody for her showmanship and 10/10 bringing of the party throughout the set! If you want a proper old-school 70s/80s funk and soul band for your wedding or function, without the modern cliched Bruno Mars / Uptown Funk type stuff, then Funk it Up! is the band for you! Ginger was super helpful and communicative in the lead-up - she was able to add a trumpet player to the band's lineup to fill out the sound for us on the night & even kindly offered us the use of the band's PA for an hour at the end of the night after they'd finished playing. Do yourself a favour and book Funk it Up! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and you will NOT regret it."

"Latina Festivale gave a great performance – was versatile and worked alongside the samba dancers to give a great evening’s entertainment. He was a great addition to the ‘Latino’ room. It was nice of him to leave us a play set when he finished playing live."

"What an absolute class act you guys are - I maybe slightly biased as it is 'my era' and I booked you but you were absolutely amazing. I actually got quite emotional stood in the middle singing along! On a booking level you were a pleasure to deal with. All the punters I spoke to loved it and you are more than welcome back in Penistone again.The quality of the performance was second to none and soon had 600 paying customers singing along to Britpop classics and helped us make loads for our local charities.

"The Hot Hats played at my 40th birthday. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Everyone whom attended said how great they were (and my friends and family are not an easy bunch to please). They were extremely engaging with the crowd and overall it was a great set."

Thanks guys you are amazing ? "

"JBMAC were amazing! They played at our wedding in May and we can’t thank them enough for creating an unforgettable performance. We had so many compliments from all our guests and they didn’t leave the dance floor. It was also really special Nora learning and singing our first dance tune. If you are looking for a wedding band for your wedding I would really recommend Josh and Nora, they are so lovely and will really bring the party. I will be continuing to recommend them to all our friends. Thank you so so much!"

"Over the years we have seen many musical performers but these two are amazing. They are both extremely talented performers. Kelly has an amazing voice that is really flexible from rock, slow ballads to musicals. Graham is an extremely talented guitarist and as a guitarist myself I would give my right arm to be half as good. They really made our cruise, every night for a month and the material varied every night. I will definitely be in touch. If for nothing else but to thank them. Thank you guys."

"This was honestly the highlight of our event, and we are absolutely glad we went with The Upbeat Duo, from start to finish the communication was fantastic, no ask was too much, really flexible and willing to work with us and our timings and last but definitely not the least the entire setup and the music was phenomenal, these are two very very talented individuals who are willing to go the extra mile to make your event unforgettable. I highly recommend and encourage you to book with them"
