Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

Blue Skyz Function Band
"I saw this lot recently at a friend's wedding and they were fantastic. They sounded great and helped create a wonderful atmosphere. In no time at all they had everyone up and dancing. The bride was ecstatic about her choice of band"
7th January 2026
Max Bannerman - wedding
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 Hearts
"The Hearts played at our wedding reception recently, and we couldn't be happier with the evening! The bland played a great set and our guests were glued to the dancefloor! They also handled the music during the breaks and this kept the flow of the night going seamlessly . Thanks very much guys!"

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.
