Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

Vaska Ensemble
"The Vaska Ensemble are amazing – so friendly, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Their talent is incredible and they created such a brilliant atmosphere for our event at the Barbican. Everyone was talking about how fantastic they were - they truly made the night feel special."

Rachel - Bonnier Books
Ana J
"Ana everyone loved you, all the best and thanks for a great night"

Shane - NYE Celebrations
On the Cover
"Enjoyed a wonderful Sunday afternoon with on the cover in Warrington. Besides being very talented musicians the band were really supportive and incredibly helpful to anyone who showed an interest on joining them on stage. What a fantastic concept and a great opportunity for singers/musicians to join an actual band. Empire Warrington was a great venue too, purposely built stage rather than a pa in the corner of a pub. Would 100% recommend both."

Helen Longmore - Bandeoke
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. "

Linda Copper, President - Inner Wheel
Radio Dukes
"Radio Dukes played at our wedding two weeks ago. They were fab from the first point of communication. Really helpful and flexible to any requests. From doing our first dance through to the amazing last song, the dance floor never emptied! The energy was infectious and all our guests commented on how great they were. Thank you for some wonderful memories. Would 100% recommend."

Jet Set Stereo
"Hired these guys for a corporate event and they did a great job. Easy to work with, showed up prepared, and sounded really good. The crowd had a great time. Would definitely hire them again "

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.
