Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"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! ?"

"Detroit Deluxe were engaging, energetic and excellently executed every song performed. As a couple, our music taste crosses over in the soul and RnB categories and we felt through Detroit Deluxe, we could have crowd pleasers to involve our family and friends, that we also loved so much! They really delivered! We had so many positive comments about how amazing the lead singers' voices were! To top it off, they created a musical medley for our first dance! Outstanding. "

"Partyzone played at our wedding and were loved by everyone who attended! They really made the evening and even learnt a first dance song of our choice. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band! They also provided a Top class DJ with every song you could imagine in his collection!"

"WOW! I originally just booked the Emily on her own with her Sax. Due to venue problems I needed a singer and did not realise Emily worked as a duet too, this was a blessing in disguise because wow this duet really made our day that extra special. They sang me walking down the aisle and leaving the ceremony. They did x2 sets during the wedding reception, none was through an amplifier it was in the garden with the sun out just Toms voice, guitar and a Sax they was amazing it was relaxing yet kept everything upbeat. Then they did the change over period and we had a mix of solo Sax and duet, oh my this really kicked off the night for the day guest to get in the mood for a party and the night guest to get the night started the room was bouncing and it was only 7pm ha! Finally Tom sang on his own our first dance outside again in the garden, this was the perfect finish it was in a romantic setting and everyone ended up singing along we loved it. These 2 are the perfect addition to any day, especially a wedding they are worth every penny! Sorry for the extra long review but I really had to paint a picture for anyone considering these two! "

"The Pretty Ugly band played at our Christmas party recently and were amazing. With some covers and some of their own music, our staff loved listening, singing and dancing to their music. Definitely booking them again for next years Christmas do. Thanks TPU!"

"Hi Nat, I just wanted to say a HUGE Thank You to you all for playing at our Wedding on Sunday night. It really did make the night very special, you were amazing and we have had nothing but great comments from all of our guests. It was brilliant to see everyone up dancing and filling the dance floor. I have recommend you to all the other prospective Brides & Grooms at the Wellbeing Farm so hopefully you may get some more bookings from them. Thank you again and hopefully we will get to see you perform again in the future. Cheers Nicola & Anthony xx (Mr & Mrs Smith)"

"Can't recommend this band enough! They had everyone at my party dancing to every single song, eventhough it was a lunchtime set! Music was amazing, lead vocals INCREDIBLE, and organising everything with the band was so simple and easy."

"We booked The Players for our wedding and we are so happy that we did! From the get go everything was really straight forward and they were so accommodating. Even some of our very last minute requests (we didn't actually pick our first dance song until the morning of the wedding!) they were happy to oblige. Above all though they played exactly the type of music we were looking for (not too cheesy) and sounded amazing. Our guests had a fantastic time dancing the evening away - we couldn't have hoped for anything better. If you're looking for a band for any event, these are your guys! Thank you so much for making our day so special."

"Every time I watch these guys perform they light up the room and get everyone on their feet dancing! No matter where they're performing and no matter who the audience, everyone comes away with a smile on their face. "
