Photo of Marty Clarke Vocalist Marty Clarke Vocalist "The Las Vegas Experience was a great show for our Christmas Party. Music for all tastes with a fantastic singer and musician performing with a full light show and great sound. Marty is a true professional and a gentleman, nothing was too much trouble and provided a good DJ service as well." Based in Barton upon Humber, England (17 miles from Grimsby) Steve - Army Reserve 150 Regiment RLC Photo of The Minesweepers The Minesweepers "Amazing band, would highly recommend!! These boys had our dance floor filled for the entire two sets and were the icing on the cake for our special day!" Based in Lincoln, England (30 miles from Grimsby) 9th April 2026 Gareth Morecombe - Wedding Photo of The 40 Thieves The 40 Thieves "Thanks for your set at our local community festival over the weekend. It was very well received and it was lovely to see lots of people singing along to all the classics you played. Hopefully you'll be available for us to have on the bill again next year." Based in York, England (49 miles from Grimsby) Rob Bowes - Festival Photo of Footloose Footloose "Martin and Roy played at my Birthday Party and it was absolutely Brilliant! The Dance floor was packed from the moment they started playing to the end of the evening. Everybody said how much they enjoyed the music. It was all the songs we new from the 60's to the 90's and some contemporary ones too. The sound was fantastic. It really sounded like a 6 piece band with backing vocals all at just the right volume. If you want a great fun band that can play all your favorite hits then look no further than Footloose. Their vocals and guitars were fantastic and the extra instruments they played on the backing were spot on. Thanks Footloose" Based in Grantham, England (51 miles from Grimsby) Maggie Jamneson - Birthday Party Photo of Debbie, singer guitarist Debbie, singer guitarist "Debbie is a brilliant musician who always goes down brilliantly at my venue Kenzies . We love her so much webpok her regularly as our customers love her songs . She is funny and really entertaining x" Based in Scarborough, England (51 miles from Grimsby) Wayne Downey - Music Bar Photo of Ukulele Eric Ukulele Eric "We had Eric at a family party for my brother who was 60, his children and grandchildren attended so it was a mixed age group, Eric was very friendly and explained which instruments he was playing on, which he did very well. He has a varied list of songs and kept us entertained while he was there, some people carried on talking but later they said it was good to have some background entertainment, I would certainly recommend Eric to liven up any party, thank you so much for attending ours."
