Review Centre: Pop Bands

"I went to a BigBandeoke event in Manchester and it was the best concert I've ever been to! The fact that my friends and I were up on stage singing with them was incredible, the energy was constant throughout the night and they clearly know how to work a crowd. Everyone was so involved and the band were so good! I will definitely be going again and would recommend them to anyone wanting a band for their event!!"

"We first stumbled across Ed & Oliviya when they performed an acoustic set for the Bedford Gin Festival back in 2018. When we started planning our wedding in the Loire Valley, France my [now] wife and I both suggested we contact them to see if they'd be willing to travel and perform for us. Having contacted Ed directly, I cannot overstate how great he was to deal with. Ed was always prompt in his responses, from the quotation to additional requests we made along the way (and also on the day itself). Nothing was ever too much for them and they added significantly to our special day. We had a large number of guests specifically mention how much they enjoyed Ed & Oliviyas music - they performed before the ceremony and also got the party started after dinner. They make a fantastic duo, with Ed on guitar and Oliviya's stunning vocals. I would whole-heartedly recommend using these two if you have a special event which requires some music. Next time we have a party and need some music - we will definitely be giving you a call. Thanks again for everything, and making our day extra special. Love, Damian & Anastasia"

"The Kings’ regulars are probably the luckiest people in Lincolnshire, maybe even the East Midlands! Not only do they have fabulous hosts in Richard and Sharon, they also provide the best music free of charge every weekend and they don’t come much better than the Bikers Band wherever you may go. Quiet and staid does not exist in their vocabulary, Mister-Pink is power funk, rock and blues at its very best covering the likes of Cream, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones but also mixing in their own songs in a seamless blend of quality entertainment. I asked Simon for his set list after the gig and do you know what the response was? “What set list? We just play what the audience like!” Believe me there are not many bands that can make such a confident statement. How many encores did we have? I lost count, the holiday weekend busy bar wanted more so The Bikers Band duly provided. Of course we must not forget the superb bass playing of Jules and Balding Bloke was in his element sound engineering when the drummer let rip with a storming drum solo. I don’t know what they feed them on in Norfolk however it seems to be an excellent diet for drummers! Now here’s a teaser for you…whilst we were clearing up afterwards I happened to mention that he’d forgotten to use his harmonica. That was it, straight to his kit and “Not Fade Away” commenced, The bassist struck up his acoustic guitar and the remaining customers and bar staff all immediately broke into song…Most likely we won’t see these guys again until next year, that’s going to be an awful long wait for many of us! ~ gig reviewer - Lincolnshire Press"

"Unexpected chance to see this show on Britannia and it didn’t disappoint. As a guitarist myself i watched enviously at Marks authentic Knoplfler picking style and note perfect authenticity of this show. Sad that the cruise timetable limited it to less than an hour but coupled with the excellent graphics, light show and tight backing band it was truly awesome. Marks vocals were so true to the original artiste but he also added that extra flair to the guitar parts. Just sad i didn’t see both shows. Really good classics on a cruise ship - great show, great idea"

Thank you so much for your kind words Chris. We feel the same about having to truncate the material! Sadly we could only fit the one show in this time, but glad you enjoyed it. Hope you had a great holiday with us.

"The Neotones were absolutely fantastic. They were very flexible with timings and songs, and worked so hard to ensure that they made it feel like our day. All of our guests were so impressed with the band, their songs and their sets. I was so shocked to hear that one member of the band was on holiday and came back for us, only to return after - this just shows their professionalism and commitment for excellency! We will be recommending them to everyone - THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

"Hú, még ennyi idő után is libabőrös vagyok, amikor eszembe jut a buli! Teljes beleéléssel, a zene szeretetével felvértezve adták elő a dalokat. A társaság része volt a zenekarnak, ők pedig része voltak a társaságnak. Ezt így kell csinálni!"
