"Genuinely sensational. I don’t want to dilute the message anymore than that. Great fun. Fantastic performers in their own right and providing the music backing as the Bandeoke was just Sainsbury’s Taste the difference stuff. Absolute class."

"Ant was recommended to us by a friend to play at our wedding and he was brilliant! He played instrumental covers as our guests arrived at the church, the bride was nearly half an hour late but Ant was more than happy to carry on playing and created a lovely atmosphere in the church which everyone really enjoyed. We asked Ant if he would be able to play and sing our favourite song whilst we signed the register in the church. He learned this specially and it was perfect, and one of the many highlights of our day. Ant also performed some covers as our guests arrived at the reception and everyone loved the live music. Ant was professional, passionate, very friendly and it was a pleasure to have him perform on our special day. We couldn’t recommend Ant enough. Thank you so much. "

You were beyond fantastic, played longer than they were supposed to, shared the stage and their gear with a band they had never met. Utterly fab music. We have had so many letter commenting one of the best bands they have seen! Thanks for being so flexible with Country and Western show. We had a fab party, please pass on our thanks to all band members you made it hugely memorable and massive fun."

Attitude and friendliness Were they friendly, polite & well presented? Did they project a professional attitude? Marks out of 10: 10 Your comments: Absolutely. Very friendly and looked great Communication and organisation Did they contact you before the event and were you happy with their overall communication? Marks out of 10: 10 Your comments: We had a number of calls before the event & they were extremely flexible with regards to fitting around our day. They were very easy to deal with Performance quality Please grade their performance. Did they live up to expectations? Did you & your guests enjoy them? Marks out of 10: 10 Your comments: They were incredible! They created a real buzz and filled the room full of energy with their music. SO many people commented on how good they were! I really can’t rate their performance highly enough. The fact that the dance floor was packed all night speaks volumes. They also interacted really well with the guests and were masters of picking songs that would go down well with everyone Sound quality and volume Were you happy with the quality of the sound? How was the volume level? Marks out of 10: 10 Your comments: Their sound setup made you feel like you were at a rock concert, rather than watching a regular wedding band play using amps that sound like tin cans. The sound completely filled the room with energy and created a real buzz. Value for money Do you feel you they were worth the money in terms of quality and effort? Marks out of 10: 10 Your comments: Absolutely Recommendation Would you re-book Supercharger or recommend them to a friend? Your answer: 100%. Yes"

"I would just like to thank the band ‘The Glory’, for playing at our wedding at Court Colman Manor last Saturday. So many people commented on how good they were, and they really helped make the day special for all of us. The specially requested first dance song ‘Let’s stay together’ was amazing! We were so grateful and most definitely recommend them. Thanks again Marcus Wright & Sarah Atkins *****"

"This Finnish band represents that loosely the essence of British pop, has a very distinguished sound. The vocals, the compositions and lyrics are most certainly contagious!"

"5 out of 5 Paul. Thank you again so much. We had the best night and everyone was raving about how good you guys were! There wasn't moment when you were playing that there weren't people on the dance floor and you learning 'our song' meant the absolute world to us. You really did get the party started and would book you again for an event in a shot!!!"

"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.!"

"I just wanted to say thank you for such a fabulous evening you guys gave us at our wedding back in November! We both had such a fun night & all our guests loved dancing to you play! We were thrilled to look around most times in the night and see the dance floor always full, so a massive thank you! We’ve had so many friends say how fabulous you were and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a band for an event! Thanks again! Sophie & Matt"

"Book The Woolers and your party dance floor will be crowded. I wanted a band to fill the dance floor at my retirement party and The Woolers exceeded my expectations. Great musicians playing a wide range of music that suited the mixed crowd and resulted in a fantastic evening with loads of compliments for the band from my friends and family. As well as playing great music they are a lovely group of guys and totally organised in their communication and booking processes. Highly recommended."
