"Ant was the perfect choice for singing at our wedding; he is a very talented musician and song writer. We wanted someone that would really make the day personal to us, someone that was easy to work with and whose music everyone would enjoy. He was able to work all the music we requested into our ceremony seamlessly, was very professional, and he made us feel at ease and that everything was in hand. I could not recommend him enough to someone who is looking for a personal touch to their wedding. Thank you so much Anthony! "

"We were absolutely blown away by the incredible performance of Jenny & Cenik at our wedding! Their voice was breathtaking, and their guitar skills added such a warm and personal touch to our special day. Many of our guests commented on how exceptional the music was and how it created such a magical atmosphere. Jenny & Cenik were also a joy to work with. If you’re looking for someone to make your event truly special, we highly recommend!"

Everyone commented on how great you were with a number of people asking for your details as they had parties coming up. You are definitely top of our list should/when we need another band in the future. You’re totally incredible and wonderfully talented."

"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!"

"I had The Last Broadcast at my partner's 40th Birthday party. They exceeded any expectations I may have had from previous bands at events and really brought the party to life. The track list got people up and dancing without any hint of cheese.... perfect. This is a band I would use for any future events and would recommend others to do the same. Brilliant guys, thanks so much. Becky Marsh"

"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.!"

"Guests enjoyed the solistic performance of Petra. One of the listeners added that Petra's performance was one of the most beautiful playings she has ever heard."

"George Zebra transformed our wedding into an unforgettable celebration! Their range of party covers, from folk to pop and rock, had everyone on their feet from the start to the end. They learned and played our first dance song beautifully, making it a truly magical moment. The DJ service was the perfect way to end the night too."

"Marblehead Johnson are awesome! We were looking for a band to play live at Sarah's 30th birthday party with a 90's Britpop theme, and after an extensive search MHJ stood out as the top contender. They travelled several hundred miles to be at the gig, and rocked the house. Unanimous rave reviews from our guests and Sarah had her best birthday ever. Clear information and friendly comms as well mean that I would book them again in a flash and recommend highly to others! "
