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."
2nd January 2026
Rachel - Bonnier Books
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
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
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.
