Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

Edinburgh Harpist
"Sophie was amazing, her exquisite music lifted our whole event. I had the good fortune to sign up for a harp lesson a few days before also, and so it was wonderful to have made a connection beforehand! Everything about Sophie was absolutely excellent! She has our whole-hearted praise!"

Karen Robertson - private wedding
Lancs Ranger
"Lancs Ranger performed at our monthly meeting of D-CaFF (a lovely place to meet for people living with dementia, their carers, family and friends) in November of this year. Singing a range of songs from an era that suited the audience, he had everyone singing along and commenting on what a fabulous voice he had. Whilst he could be heard at the back of the room, he sang in such a beautiful tone that at times, there was a hush around the room. Lancs Ranger will be welcomed back by popular demand. Thank you!"

Joani
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"

Max Bannerman - wedding
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
It’s a Swing Thing
"Where do I start? We booked Paul McDowell for our anniversary party. He was highly professional from start to finish. He was versatile with songs and genres which really showcased his vocal ability. Highly recommend!."

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.
