"From the first contact, Jake filled us with confidence that it was going to be a great event. His communications prior to the night were professional and allowed us to personalise the type of evening we wanted to create. The Band arrived promptly and set up with a playlist in the background suiting our preferred genre. They were helpful in changing the timings on the night to accommodate the mood of the party. The music itself was fantastic; they're a talented bunch of musicians! And they have the ability to modify the playlist, depending on their audience. Lots of our guests commented on how good the band were. All in all, value for money. And we have total confidence in recommending them. A huge 'thank you' to Jake and all the band members for helping to make our wedding party a night to remember"

"I just wanted to say thank you for such a fabulous evening you guys gave us at our wedding back in November! We both had such a fun night & all our guests loved dancing to you play! We were thrilled to look around most times in the night and see the dance floor always full, so a massive thank you! We’ve had so many friends say how fabulous you were and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a band for an event! Thanks again! Sophie & Matt"

"The band set up all through the one system to keep the volume at a suitable level for a BBQ in my garden. The performance was outstanding and they were friendly, professional and most of all great fun. Definitely recommend them!"

"We just wanted to drop a quick thank you for performing at our wedding last Friday. Multiple guests have said how good you were and that they really enjoyed it. We didn't want your set to end! You created such a great atmosphere."

"Ant was absolutely fantastic. Aside from being a very talented singer and musician; he is incredibly, polite, versatile and overall lovely. He had fantastic communication, we spoke on video before the wedding, emailed and whatsapp’d, he’s very responsive. We discussed song choices and he was very receptive to the specific songs we wanted, including learning to play some new ones. Ant took the initiative on our wedding day, setting himself up and started, before we arrived, for our guests. He was able to be flexible when our timings changed on the day (we had an outside wedding in the UK… It rained when we were supposed to be walking down the aisle still went great, don’t worry). He ran across the field and played without his equipment for the ceremony when we had a break in the rain. We would defiantly recommend him and 100% hire him again for any other musician needs we may have!"

"Yve has a very distinctive voice, and for someone of such small stature, the sound she makes is huge. I first came across Yve at a local festival, and she immediately won me over with her soulful bluesy sound. Since then I have seen her perform both as a solo artist and with a full band, and she never fails to impress. In fact every time you see her, you're reminded of exactly what it is you love about her. Off of the stage she's friendly and approachable and a pleasure to work with. She's easily one of the best female vocals I've heard in quite some time, and I'm glad that I found this jewel in the Norfolk countryside. I can't put into words just how good she is, you'll have to listen for yourself, but I can pretty much guarantee that you won't be disappointed! - Jon Seymour"

"It’s March and still raining. I’ve trawled through some serious procrastination to decide where I’m going tonight; at least three decent live music offerings in Chester that I know of. And I’m sure the others were brilliant. Marblehead Johnson are, in their own words, a “tribute to the British Britpop music scene” and a “powerful combination of passion and quality.” A tribute band, to me, equals lunatic professionalism. To tribute a whole scene is a big ask. Good covers bands are rare enough, taking that enormous and unlikely step beyond random amateur recreation. But these guys really do tick the box of perfectionist, professional curators though. Friday night was time travel night with a set list that captured the point where British alt-rock got (largely) happy and popular (in a good way). A guitar dominated, looping and lurching opener with Ocean Colour Scene and The Riverboat Song; polished and convincing. Second song in and I’m braving the dance floor with the pointy shoed brigade. A few songs further and they offer me proof of their professionalism. A very-very-very long time ago I was lucky enough to make it into Brixton Academy and unfortunate enough to catch James on a sincerely off night. And I’ve heard James and Sit Down many times since: at home, on the radio, in DJ sets and covered-more-than-it-should-be. One of those beautiful songs that gets tired through over use. And on this particular Friday night I heard it come alive; all vitality restored. There were the things I expected; a good dose of Blur and Oasis both, Stereophonics, Bluetones and more, then some referencing back to foundation stones with The Who and The Jam. Marblehead Johnson switched between styles and musical voices with conviction; into acoustic things and seamlessly back out again. The magic of seeing grown men dance without a pint in hand happened repeatedly through the two sets. On any given set you pray for that one song you don’t see coming; the track you might flick through on the album that becomes something else entirely live. So it was with Blur’s Charmless Man. That perfect Blur poetry, simple, direct and delivered with energy. Marblehead Johnson are a good distance from being charmless. They are careful collectors and curators of songs; fine musicians and performers.!"

"We booked The Always for our wedding in Devon and just wow. We booked the full 5 piece band with keys, and it was so good. Having the upright bass was a real awesome part of the aesthetics. Also a huge thank you for performing our first dance live, it was quite an obscure song so it is hugely appreciated! I would recommend anyone thinking of booking The Always , don’t think. Just do it!"
