"He is an excellent saxophone player. He plays with his heart and always shows that he wants to be there to perform. Also he walks around while dancing and interacts with people while playing and it truly shows he loves playing his instrument. Highly recommended!"

"Guaranteed fun! Top! An incredible party—we couldn’t have asked for anything better! We had seen them in an Instagram story—engaging, exuberant, smiling, full of energy and excitement. Back then, we weren’t even thinking about getting married yet, but we had already decided that if we ever did, they had to be there! They perfectly matched our party vibe! Our friends are still complimenting us on how amazing the celebration was. Thank you, guys!"

"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.!"

"Booked this band for a surprise 50th birthday party. From the time of booking, to the event, the band were very easy to contact and to deal with. On the day, the band arrived, set up and had sound checked by the agreed time. The band members were dressed appropriately, equipment looked and sounded very professional. Vast array of 80's songs played and interaction with the party goers was brilliant. The band made the event. Would definitely recommend."

"We hired The Hound Dogs for our wedding a couple of weeks ago and I can honestly say they were fantastic! Our guests absolutely loved their energy and set list, they had people up dancing all night. We had such a great day made all the better by some quality live music in the evening! Would recommend to anyone looking for music for thir event. Thanks again for being a part of our day! Steve & Felicity"

"We're so glad we found Spark Up Band to play at our tipi wedding - it was an incredible way to end to the day. The dance floor was filled from start to finish with guests of all ages! They completely got the vibe of the day and brought a fantastic atmosphere to the evening. We can't thank them enough for coming to the rescue with a last minute glitch - we were in very safe hands! We hope to have another occasion to book them again!"
