Trevor.hempell@ntlworld.com - Pub venue
A funtastic tribute to the group ABBA
"Absolutely awesome night! People dancing from song 2 til the end of the night! 6th time of having ABBA Sensationelle duo here and we have ince again booked them for Christmas 2026. "

Samantha Wilkes - Marston's Brewery
The Sweeney Ceilidh Band
"The band were incredible. We had a lot of guests who had never been to a ceilidh before, however we were so impressed that almost everyone was up and dancing, which was largely down to the excellent and engaging caller. It was so much fun! Great communication before the event, and lovely people to talk to on the day. We loved every minute, thank you!"

Lucy - Wedding
Jelly Roll Band - UK Tribute Band
"Loved having Adam and the band at our event just before Christmas! They had the crowd hooked from the first song and you could feel the energy and soul in the room. Fantastic "

Tim Jaxon
Lily Mai & The Echoes
"We had Lily Mai & The Echoes perform at a retirement party and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Lily’s voice is stunning and the band created the perfect atmosphere — relaxed, classy, and uplifting. They read the room beautifully, mixing soulful favourites with upbeat tracks that had everyone smiling and singing along. So many guests commented on how good the music was. Professional, friendly, and hugely talented — we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any celebration."

Z Kadir - Retirement Party
The Lahdidahs - Vintage Vocals
"What a fabulous event we had for the 80th V.E. Day. The Lahdidahs were brilliant, leading the old time favourite songs and even leading and teaching The Palais Glide to the audience, finishing with the usual favourites songs from the 40s. All 3 ladies of the Lahdidahs had plenty of energy and fun. I would definitely recommend the group to anyone who would be guaranteed a wonderful event. "

Frequently asked questions

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
Each event is different but the typical performance time for bands & ensembles is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.
Booking bands & ensembles as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
Most bands & ensembles are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some bands & ensembles have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
Frequently asked questions about Bands & Ensembles, how to register and how results are ordered are in the help & FAQs.
