Reviews of Bands & Ensembles available in Berkeley, Gloucestershire

Shake It Off - A Tribute to Taylor Swift
"Took my Step-Daughter to TSTribute performing at Corby today and the artist/band were a fantastic tribute act. The atmosphere was great, they put on a great show and the vocals from Melissa were incredible! As was the talent from the two guitarists. Great event and I would highly recommend seeing this tribute act if you've got a Swiftie in the house!"

Monday@8
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Band – Highly Recommend! What an absolutely fantastic band! Monday at8 performed at our Warrant Officers’ & Sergeants’ Mess, and they were nothing short of outstanding! Despite several delays and last-minute changes to timings throughout the evening, the band were incredibly flexible, patient and understanding. Their professionalism was second to none, and they still delivered their full two-hour set without compromising on the quality of their performance. From the moment they started playing, they had everyone up on the dance floor and absolutely rocked the place! The atmosphere was electric, the music was brilliant, and they really made the evening something special. Every member of the band was genuinely lovely, friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with. A massive thank you to Monday at8 for an unforgettable evening! We couldn’t recommend them highly enough and would absolutely love to have them back again! 5 stars – Fantastic people, incredible musicians and a brilliant night! 🎸🎤🔥"

Let it Bleed
"What can I say, what an amazing band! Booked for the celebration of life for my dad who was a massive stones fan and it was better than I could have ever imagined. The sound was great, not gimmicky, just a great band playing the best stones songs. 80 guests and everyone said how good they were. One thing that sets the bar high for them is I asked for a song that isn't typically found on a stones set list but holds deep sentiment to myself, with only a weeks notice I didn't think they'd be able to do it....and they did! Such a lovely way to remember my dad....he would have absolutely loved it! Thank you so much guys! P.s. sorry it took so long to write this review! (10 / 10)" Adrianne Holman"

Guava Sax and DJ
"We had OG SAX (Olly) play at our wedding, and he was fantastic! He created such a great atmosphere and got everyone dancing. He was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to have as part of our day. A big shoutout to Fraser as well, who was an amazing DJ. The two of them worked so well together and brought such great vibes from day to night, making the daytime feel relaxed and the evening party so much fun. We’d definitely recommend OG SAX for any wedding or special event. Thank you, Olly and Fraser!"

Frequently asked questions

Booking bands & ensembles in Berkeley, Gloucestershire 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.
Sound limiters are now common at many UK wedding venues, particularly those in residential areas or with noise-sensitive neighbours. They work by cutting the power to amplified equipment if the volume exceeds a set threshold. Most professional bands can work within standard limiter settings without any real impact on the performance. If your venue's limiter is set at 95dB or above, the majority of bands will have no difficulty. Below 95dB it is worth flagging to the band in advance, as they may need to adjust their setup, for example by using an electronic drum kit instead of an acoustic one, or opting for a smaller line-up. Ask your venue for the exact decibel level and pass it on when you make your enquiry, so the band can confirm they can accommodate it.
As a general guide, a 3-piece band needs a performance area of roughly 3m x 3m. Add approximately 1m of width for each additional musician. A 5-piece band would therefore need around 3m x 5m as a minimum. Most bands will also need a small amount of additional space at the sides or rear for equipment cases during the performance. A raised stage is not essential but does help the band make a bigger visual impact, particularly in larger rooms. The performance area needs to be flat, dry and close to a power supply. If you are unsure whether your venue can accommodate a particular band, share the dimensions with them when enquiring and they will be able to advise. Venues with unusual layouts or low ceilings are worth flagging too.
Most professional bands provide a playlist through their PA system during intervals, so there is no gap in the music and no awkward silence while they take a break. This is usually included as standard and the band will typically put together a playlist that fits the mood of the evening. Some acts offer an upgraded DJ service where a member of the band or a dedicated DJ manages the music between sets, takes requests and keeps the energy going. This is usually available as a paid add-on. Check the act's profile or ask when enquiring if this is something you would like.
In most cases, no. The majority of professional bands provide music through their PA system during intervals and after their final set, so your guests will have continuous music throughout the evening without needing a separate DJ. This is usually included in the booking. If you want a more interactive DJ experience, with someone to take requests, mix tracks and keep the dancefloor going after the band finishes, many bands offer this as an optional upgrade, or you can book a DJ separately. It is worth deciding early how late you want music to continue, as a band's final set will typically finish by midnight or the venue curfew, and a DJ can be a cost-effective way of extending the night.
Professional bands take their commitments seriously and cancellations are rare, but illness, accidents or unforeseen circumstances can occasionally affect a booking. It is worth checking what provisions are in place when you book. Many acts and agencies have contingency arrangements, such as calling on dep musicians or arranging a suitable replacement act at short notice. When booking, make sure you receive a written contract that sets out the cancellation terms clearly, for both sides. If you are booking through an agency, ask specifically what happens in the event the act cannot perform. Keeping communication open with your band in the weeks before the event also helps flag any potential issues early.
Band size affects both the sound and the budget. A 3-piece can fill a dancefloor just as effectively as a larger act and tends to be better suited to smaller venues or those with sound restrictions. A 4 or 5-piece gives a fuller sound and more stage presence, which works well in larger rooms. Bigger show bands with brass sections, multiple vocalists or additional musicians create a more spectacular impact but cost more and need more space. As a rough guide, match the band size to your guest numbers and venue capacity. For events up to around 100 guests, a 3 or 4-piece is usually ideal. For 150 or more, a 4 or 5-piece tends to work better. For very large events over 300 guests you may also need to consider whether the band's own PA system is sufficient, or whether additional sound equipment will be needed.
