Photo of Madnezz Madnezz "From start to finish, the band delivered an incredible set. Pure Madness Tribute magic!" Based in Wolverhampton, England Natalie K. - Electric Brixton, London Photo of Gee Chambers Gee Chambers "Excellent. It was amazing, highly recommended. Great job , guest commented all night." Based in Wolverhampton, England Laurance joseph - 50th Birthday Photo of Evie Ingles Evie Ingles "I booked Evie as a wedding surprise for my husband and family, and she was spectacular! She even travelled all the way to Buxton for our special day. Nobody else knew I had booked her, as she worked closely and secretly with just me ahead of time to plan the perfect surprise. Together, we custom-curated a setlist of songs that are incredibly close to our hearts. This required her to learn music she had never even heard of before, including a beautiful version of our first dance and the song from my in-laws' own wedding first dance. This made the performance deeply personal to us. Her performance, combining gorgeous singing with solo sax segments, was a massive hit and got everyone dancing. We received so many compliments from our guests, and she helped create a truly special memory for our family. We all loved her!" Based in Birmingham, England (12 miles from Wolverhampton) 27th September 2026 Ayesha K - Private wedding Photo of Ub40 One Solo Show Ub40 One Solo Show "Great act keeps everyone dancing and having a good time, we also sing some ska and 2 tone that we asked for, was on time and always around if we needed something.

We saw them multiple times now and definitely won’t be our last!!! Watch out for these guys n gals they are incredible" Based in Birmingham, England (12 miles from Wolverhampton) Mr.L - Theatre Photo of The Smooth Criminals Party Band The Smooth Criminals Party Band "I cannot put into words how fantastic you guys were, from not only singing our first dance, but as we couldn't make up our minds you performed two for us, not to mention the rest of your set. We had a fantastic day but you took it to another level, to see all our friends & family dancing & enjoying themselves because of you is just amazing, hopefully see you again soon..."
