"My wedding in Amalfi was pure magic, thanks to this brilliant chaps. They started with elegant acoustic tunes during the ceremony and then brought incredible energy to the party after dinner. At one point, a power cut hit the venue — but they didn’t miss a beat and kept everyone singing along acoustically until the lights came back on. It turned into one of the most memorable moments of the night! Highly Recommended, thanks Giuseppe!"

Thank you so much, Daniel! What an incredible night that was in Amalfi — I’ll never forget it. The setting, the atmosphere, and the energy from you and your guests were amazing. I still remember when a few of your friends jumped in with us for an impromptu sing-along — such a fun moment! It was truly a joy to play for you. Wishing you both all the very best! – Giuseppe

"They were amazing! Played at our engagement party in the summer and were just what we were looking for! They did a good mix of quiet songs for the cocktail vibe we were after, and got everyone dancing at the end. Lovely guys, have recommended to my friends xx"

"When we were looking for the band for our wedding, we wanted a band that had a wide variety of songs from different eras in their repertoire with the ability to perform big powerful ballads and that is exactly what we go with W!RED. As soon as we heard Sue’s incredible voice. We knew they were the band for us and booked them. As soon as we got a couple of months of the wedding I dropped Sue a message. She called me back and was really helpful and reassuring and put me in touch with another member of the band Martin. We arranged a call to go over the details. Martin was friendly and welcoming straight away. Never having booked a band before we didn’t know how much or how little we’d need to be involved, but Martin simply went through a few details with us and then handled the rest. Prior to our wedding Martin took the trouble to edit a pre-recorded dedication. Together with our choice of first dance songs, so that it all went smoothly on the night. He also sent over their set list so we could make some requests. On the night, the band set-up quickly and without fuss and had a playlist on as early as they could to get our guests warmed up. Martin had a quick chat with me about timings for the evening for our cake cutting and first dance, then as soon as that was complete they went straight into their sets and had everyone up on the dance floor for the rest of the night, even finishing with a couple of encores. They were then good enough to leave a playlist running whilst they packed away. Meaning that we had music right up to the end of the evening. Everybody in the band was friendly and helpful. Particularly Martin. That’s not to mention that they are also frankly brilliant at what they do. Sues’s voice is incredible and recordings we heard before as good as they are don’t do it justice. Many guest commented on how much they enjoyed the performance. They even got the seal of approval from a few people I know who are musically hard to please. A brilliant night, enhanced by W!RED. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone "

"We saw Tunehead live at the Upton Fringe Festival 2022 and they were incredible! They all worked so well together and sounded fantastic. An engaging and talent filled performance. So if you know they are nearby, get yourself down there ready to dance and enjoy yourself as you hear some top class funky jazz from all over the world."

"We booked Neoroots for our wedding reception and we can’t be happier that we came across them when looking for a band! Tino, Jess and Craig were all amazing, super helpful and friendly during the booking process and run up to the wedding. They were so professional and answered any questions we had and spoke directly with our venue to make sure everything was sorted for the big day. I have no words to how talented they all are, they learnt a new song for our first dance and performed it perfectly - it will be a moment we treasure forever. The rest of the set was incredible, the dance floor was packed all night and all of our guests cannot stop talking about how fantastic the band were. Thank you again so much - we wish we could have Neoroots at every party! Xxxx"

"Just AMAZING !!!! I saw this band in Lefkas island few years ago for the first time in a bar and became a big fan, trying to see them every time they play in the area ! Every single time, I see people having the best time of their lives ! A friend of mine chose them for his wedding and was very satisfied. These guys are professionnels, they have such a great repertory of songs (from rock, folk, rhythm'n blues to funk, disco etc.) that they can easily adjust to any circomstances or expectations ! I strongly recommand this band !"

"I don't usually write reviews unless something is exceptional. I recently had the pleasure of seeing and listening to Young Lionell at one of his performances. What a fantastic show he put on for the guests. He was extremely professional and great vocals. He brought the party alive and I would have no hesitation to recommending him. Thankyou Young Lionell. Hope we will see you again "

"I can’t recommend Retrophonic enough. So many of our guests after the wedding said how great they were. They were really professional and friendly, working with us to get a set list we’d love. They sounded amazing and most importantly got everyone up dancing. Definitely one of the best wedding bands out there!"

"I saw LoveSexy at the Riviera theater in North Tonawanda, NY on 3/21/2025. They were awesome. The best tribute band that I've seen. The band had everyone on their feet. We were partying. When he came back out as Morris Day, wow. That was so unexpected and fun. I danced and danced. I would pay double to see them again."

"Excellent!! Interactive, entertaining and one of the best bands in Bham area! I’d absolutely pick a wedding with a band over a DJ anytime and this band solidified my decision with that!"
