Photo of The Alternatives The Alternatives "Absolutely fantastic band singer brilliant would highly recommend" Based in Wales 5th October 2026 Deb Bowen Photo of Ukebox Ukebox "From start to finish they looked after everything and our guests were blown away - can't recommend highly enough thank you x" Based in Liverpool, England 29th September 2026 Andy & Leanne - Private Wedding Photo of The Woolers The Woolers "The Woolers didn't just play our wedding - they MADE our wedding! They're fantastic musicians and put together a setlist that played perfectly to the crowd, followed by 2x 45 minute bandeoke sets to close out the night. They brought so much energy and fun to the night that we completely lost track of time, with our guests jumping up to sing with them until we got kicked out of the venue. Music played a huge role in our wedding and these guys delivered. What's more, they helped me surprise my wife by learning an original song that I'd written and playing this with me, going so far as to set up my equipment to keep things under wraps. This involved a substantial amount of planning and I couldn't have pulled it off without their professionalism and excellent communication in the run up to the big day. They went above and beyond at every stage and I can't recommend them enough." Based in Liverpool, England 31st August 2026 Al Atchenson Photo of Ctrl Alt Repeat Ctrl Alt Repeat "I saw this band last night at the Port House in Stourport and honestly, they’re the best live band I’ve seen in a long time. From the first song to the last, they absolutely nailed it. The energy in the room was amazing — you could tell they weren’t just playing songs, they were putting on a proper show. The vocals were spot on and the setlist was perfect for the crowd. Every song had people singing along, dancing, or filming because it was just that good 🤘🎸 🥁" Based in Birmingham, England 18th March 2026 Diane Corkin Photo of Christina & Harry Acoustic Duo Christina & Harry Acoustic Duo "Christina and Harry are fantastic talented musicians who made our small evening wedding reception absolutely brilliant fun. Their performance of our chosen first dance song was pure magic and made it extra special. Whether you're looking for some background music for an event or full on party live music we can't recommend them highly enough." Based in Nottingham, England Jenny & Tim - Private Wedding Photo of Red Hot Chili Peppers Experience Red Hot Chili Peppers Experience "These guys really do sound and look like the real thing, not to be missed." Based in Oxford, England Craig Watson - Chalgrove Live Music Festival
