Review Centre: Cover Bands

"We decided very early on in the planning of our big day that it was going to be a festival-themed wedding. That meant that the band, or effectively headline act, needed to exude a number of qualities, including an extensive repertoire, a strong sound and most of all the ability to entertain a tipi full of revellers. When we came across the Supercharger they seemed to embody all the characteristics we were looking for in a band, and more. Needless to say we booked them straight away. Leading up to the day of our nuptials, the band were easily contactable and always pleasant in their dealings with us, making themselves available through email, text message and phone call. This is something that can’t be overlooked, as when you are planning a wedding you need to know everything is going to run smoothly. The band were happy to answer any of our questions and even offered some suggestions to the running order of the day which were appreciated and taken onboard. Which leads us to the day itself and they did not disappoint at all. From the moment they hit the stage they were of the highest calibre, packing out the dancefloor and interacting with the crowd between songs. They played songs from various genres and decades and each one was well received and played as the original artist intended. In fact at times it was hard to differentiate between the original recording and the Supercharger version, which is a level of perfectionism that can’t be faulted. Having a good mix of music at an event like a wedding is key due to the range of ages and tastes in attendance and all of our guests got involved on the dancefloor. So good were the band in fact that one of our guests, renowned for never having a boogie, even dangled his toe over the edge of the dancefloor in appreciation of their talent. We picked out a few songs prior to the wedding which we knew we wanted the band to play and each of these was delivered with sonic precision. The rest of the set the ‘jets chose themselves and every classic they belted out went down better than the last. From the Beatles to Queen, the Kinks to Guns N Roses, everything sounded fantastic. We had a Marryoke filmed on the day of the wedding and the band were only too happy to play Huey Lewis and the News’ ‘Power Of Love’ early on in their set. As the guests had been singing it all day it proved to be very popular and the rendition was spot on! Both my wife and I are keen Nirvana fans and we mentioned to the band prior to the wedding that we wouldn’t mind them playing ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ but to obviously use their own gauge as to whether or not they felt it might go down well, after all we didn’t want to alienate those in attendance who didn’t appreciate the rockier side of music. We needn’t have worried however, they played it as their last song and it went down a storm, filling the dancefloor more than any other song and not just those with a penchant for heavier guitar based tunes. Dancing with our parents to Nirvana on our wedding day is a memory we will treasure forever. If you are looking for a band that are talented, professional and most of all can fill a dancefloor then look no further, the Supercharger are awesome! In the days following our wedding we were bombarded with comments about how amazing the band were and there was no argument from us, the Supercharger made the best day of our lives even more special. Thanks again, guys!"

"After a lot of research I came across Fan Club Party Band and was very pleased to find they were also local to us. We booked them for our wedding gave them some examples of the type of instrumental music we wanted and a bit of a brief and they nailed it completely! It was such an incredible day, and they created the perfect vibe and atmosphere which is exactly what we wanted. I would definitely use them again and do plan to in the future. Thanks so much guys!

"As a wedding planner, we were able to work with the band on a super Japanese-Hungarian wedding this May. They are characterized by smooth communication and flexibility. They play music with heart and soul, they created a fantastic atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend them."

"Dr Saxy's version of You Don't Know Me was spectacular and transcendental. Experiencing his music and seeing his passion for his art is mesmerizing. I highly recommend his show."

"Tom was het hoogtepunt van de avond! Prachtig saxofoonspel, waarmee hij echt sfeer bracht op het evenement. Daarnaast was hij prettig in de communicatie en flexibel toen het programma iets uitliep. Ik zou hem zonder twijfel nog een keer inhuren!"

"The band were brilliant for our wedding. They sounded amazing live and really got the whole wedding to the dance floor. We have had so many compliments from guests after the wedding about how great they were also. They arrived on time and were a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend."

"Hi Fernando, Thank you SO MUCH for your emails!! We just got home a few days ago from Portugal and were pretty disconnected for the remainder of our trip so just seeing these now! First, we cannot thank YOU and your band enough for being so lovely to work with and for bringing our wedding day music vision perfectly to life. We knew you would be wonderful, but we were completely blown away. We really cannot thank you enough, and are just so happy with everything. It was the most magical day for us and the guests (everybody is still raving about the band), and you were a huge contribution to that. My dad would have loved to play with you! Maybe one day in the future when we go back to Portugal ? Also, thank you so much for sending the video montage!! The one thing Frank and I were regretting from wedding day was not having more time to enjoy the band during the cocktail reception, so we nearly cried a bit seeing your email and the video. Thank you so much. We will cherish these memories forever and will continue to enjoy the video. Frank says we need you all to fly here and repeat the set so we can enjoy it fully from start to finish ? We truly cannot thank you enough and words do not even begin to fully express our gratitude to you and the band, but it is a start! Anyways, thank you again for reaching out and for your kind words, and we will definitely reach out for any future events we may have in Portugal! I'm going through the photos still but will send you any of the band soon! Warmest regards, Aviana & Frank"
