Review Centre: Rock Bands

"Žana and Boris performed at our wedding in several beautiful segments – from the reception party alongside the DJ, to church music, and even during dinner where their soothing melodies played in the background. From the very first contact, they impressed us with their professionalism, calm energy, and genuine warmth. Žana's voice is absolutely stunning; her performance of Ave Maria left everyone in the church in tears. It was so powerful, so moving – truly unforgettable. The connection they create with the audience is something rare, and every moment they shared with us felt personal and special. We received glowing recommendations for them from multiple sources, and now we fully understand why! Their talent, grace, and attention to detail made our wedding even more memorable. We can’t wait to see them perform again at another joyful occasion!"

"Wow, Wow, Wow. What an amazing Rock band to have found. From the initial call with David, right through to the last song, what an amazing professional band. David and the team, met my brief perfectly. In fact, they went above and beyond for us. We had a Hawaiian theme and they decorated their speakers in grass skirts and flowers around the staging. All band members embraced the Hawaiian theme with loud shirts and bright colours. It was the little touches, like they sent my husband a birthday card and arrived before my first guests arrived, even though that meant being there a couple of hours before. It was the small touches, that made us so grateful and made an 50th Birthday celebration perfect. They were also able to meet my brief of 3 sets at 45 minutes each. Some of the other bands we spoke to, were very inflexible. Music was all in tune and the lead singer was amazing, fantastic vocal range. We love the song choices, but the last set just hit the mark to end a perfect evening. At one point the singer joined the guests on the dance floor, and we literally thought we were at some A lister rock concert. Amazing! No problems with the sound, and their equipment worked flawlessly throughout. All our guests commented on what a fantastic job they had done for us. Unlike other bands, what was nice, is that they had 1 price, that included everything, music, interval music, lights, travel. Nothing was too much trouble and David’s wife (so sorry I cannot remember your name) was able to support during the intervals and was out front, to help with turning the interval music up and down. Would definitely book again as loved every minute of their performances and professionalism. Keep rocking out and thank you once again. Karen & Paul x "

"Tuve la oportunidad de escuchar a este grupo en una fiesta de mi trabajo y me encantó!! Tienen un repertorio muy variado, para todos los públicos, de temas en general bastante conocidos tanto en inglés como en español. Punto a favor también las armonías vocales de las cantantes; me sorprendieron mucho."

"Super fun engaging and exciting band! They are super easy to work with, funny and really just all around friendly, nice people too. Superior sound quality and everyone at our party loved them. I HIGHLY recommend them. Great song selection too. They kept everyone singing and dancing all night. If you and your guests want to have a great time hire the Exit Left band!"

"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.!"

"The Cheers performed at our Wedding in September 2022. They were so fantastic. We had a full dance floor all night. They learnt our first song perfectly and the whole evening was amazing! The organisation from the manager, Ben, was great. Our wedding had been postponed twice due to Covid and despite that Ben was so approachable and easy to deal with. I’d thoroughly recommend them."

"The Kings’ regulars are probably the luckiest people in Lincolnshire, maybe even the East Midlands! Not only do they have fabulous hosts in Richard and Sharon, they also provide the best music free of charge every weekend and they don’t come much better than the Bikers Band wherever you may go. Quiet and staid does not exist in their vocabulary, Mister-Pink is power funk, rock and blues at its very best covering the likes of Cream, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones but also mixing in their own songs in a seamless blend of quality entertainment. I asked Simon for his set list after the gig and do you know what the response was? “What set list? We just play what the audience like!” Believe me there are not many bands that can make such a confident statement. How many encores did we have? I lost count, the holiday weekend busy bar wanted more so The Bikers Band duly provided. Of course we must not forget the superb bass playing of Jules and Balding Bloke was in his element sound engineering when the drummer let rip with a storming drum solo. I don’t know what they feed them on in Norfolk however it seems to be an excellent diet for drummers! Now here’s a teaser for you…whilst we were clearing up afterwards I happened to mention that he’d forgotten to use his harmonica. That was it, straight to his kit and “Not Fade Away” commenced, The bassist struck up his acoustic guitar and the remaining customers and bar staff all immediately broke into song…Most likely we won’t see these guys again until next year, that’s going to be an awful long wait for many of us! ~ gig reviewer - Lincolnshire Press"

"The guys of SouthBound and Company performed in our backyard on our dock. They were amazing. Very professional, courteous and easy to work with. We've actually had them for the past four years for our annual party. Great variety of music not overbearingly loud like a lot of bands and just a great bunch of guys. We highly recommend them, Jan n Jim Sannebeck"

"The Pocket Rockers were amazing for our wedding in September 2024! We had seen them perform at a few different events previously and so knew how great the shows they put on are, and we are so happy that we chose them for our special day! Their setlist has something for everyone, and we had so many people up on the dancefloor enjoying the night! The whole process from booking them to the wedding itself was communicative and smooth, and we are very grateful, we can't recommend them enough!"
