Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"We were delighted to have a special secret act turn up for our daughters wedding at The Woolacombe Bay Hotel. Our future son-in-law mentioned about two days before the wedding that he would love a “Blues Brothers” tribute band for the wedding music, but knew he’d left it too late to book. We decided to try our hardest to accommodate this request. After contacting Chris from "Those Singing Waiters and 106 Miles to Chicago", we were delighted to find they could travel down to us for the day, and surprise the happy couple. They came into the afray, just as the desserts were being served, and everyone thought it was a couple of the hotel staff trying to entertain the wedding party off the cuff. But it soon became apparent that these two were very professional, and were extremely funny. The event got livelier later when in the second set, they took to the stage as the “Blues Brothers”, and our daughters were invited to do a turn, with “Shout” and “Rescue Me”. We have had a long association within the singing entertainment circuit, with two of our daughters doing solo performing, one of our son-in-laws playing guitar in a band and one of our relatives and a guest at the function is Benny Gallagher of “Gallagher and Lyle” fame. He agreed the afternoon and evening was a total success. We wouldn’t hesitate to re-book this act in the future, when we’ve got over the shock of this years wedding!! "

"Urban Knights not only had the dance floor packed all night, but the whole area around the dance floor too! Rya has an unbelievable voice - it feels wrong to describe them as a wedding band because they are just an incredibly talented group of musicians who happen to be able to sing brilliant covers. Their manager was also an absolute delight to deal with throughout, and the band took the 1.5 hour delay in starting as a result of dinner overrunning in their stride. Thank you for making our wedding day so special, and for giving us so many wonderful memories. "

"The Bandits were brilliant and sounded awesome; even when playing to a small crowd, you guys had so much energy. You really made the night special for us - we had so many comments about you from the other guests on how much they enjoyed listening to you and several people asking for info. We will definitely be recommending you to as many people as possible."

"Had the honour of seeing these guys recently at a wedding I was attending, they were awesome. The lead singer was a gentleman and nothing but a pro, quick witted and crowd engaging. As for the rest of the band the lead guitar, bass and drums were again an exceptional level. The range of music they played pretty much broke the mould covering all genres from pop to RnB all the way over to rock and soul. nearly covering every decades best tunes. Had a chat to singer and again I must say a very personable guy always wearing a smile and full of good energy. I'd have absolutely no problem highly recommending these guys to anyone thinking of booking them for any type of event, they filled the dancefloor with every song, had people singing their hearts out and made the evening extra special for all."

"Words cannot describe how pleased we are about the exceptional entertainment provided by Dave, Mike and Gerry at our wedding in Durham. Their fantastic repertoire truly added a special and unique touch to our evening, and provided many of our guests from all corners the world a wonderful introduction to British folk music. Not to mention how patient and friendly their caller Dave was especially in teaching the dances to our guests, many of whom had never danced a Ceilidh before. In addition, their cheerfulness and easygoing disposition really helped us and our guests have a marvellous time. To this day, our guests still constantly praise the ceilidh music provided during the evening. Thank you so much and we would recommend them over and over again to anyone seeking quality entertainment for any event."

"The band - turned up on time but the room wasn't ready for them and so had some time restraints to get set up and ready. They were very professional and pleasant. We had some great feedback from our guests on their set list as well as overall sound and look. We would highly recommend them to anyone for any occasion (I'm getting married in October and if I hadn't already booked a band After Dark would be my first choice!"

"The Velvet Tones play at our restaurant regularly. The reviews we’ve had on Google about their performances have been amazing and ticket sales for our music nights are always a sell-out! We go for the trio because we don’t have space for drums and it’s perfect because we can keep the sound to a better level so people can enjoy the music without having to shout over it to speak at dinner. Great band!"

"Eugene was waiting for us with the drums set up when we arrived at The Spa. We could not praise them enough, they played just the right music at the correct time and as we had to be inside played quietly so that we could all chat whilst having drinks. We had many people come up to us saying how much they enjoyed their performance and I have to say that we would not have any hesitation in recommending them to others."

"Eleonora performed at the first ever World Day for Cultural Diversity at Deloitte for the Multicultural Network. She performed a mix of genres in various languages and her performance was simply outstanding. The crowd loved her. I'd happily ask Eleonora to perform in future events without a second thought."

"What a party starter! Our guest still haven't stopped talking about how brilliant this band was. With a wide range of songs played from the more traditional to chart hits they got everyone moving and in a great mood for the rest of the evening. Gary was a pleasure to work with from start to finish - very efficient and reliable. I'd highly recommend this band for your event. "
