Photo of Venus & Mars Venus & Mars "The band set up all through the one system to keep the volume at a suitable level for a BBQ in my garden. The performance was outstanding and they were friendly, professional and most of all great fun. Definitely recommend them!" Based in Corby, England (21 miles from Leicester) Franklin - Private BBQ Photo of The PommyGranites The PommyGranites "Well what can I say. You four were absolutely amazing on Saturday. So many said on the night and are still saying today, how fantastic the band was. You really done Steve and I proud and we are so grateful for what you did regarding the toast, the poem and the Oasis song. I heard that a lot of people had a cry and were very emotional, especially the families of the other two boys. The whole night was a fabulous evening, made even more fabulous by you guys and the sets that you performed. Loved every single song and putting in some of the songs I mentioned was amazing, thank you. As you probably noticed, actually can’t see how you didn’t, I was on the floor making a fool of myself with my footwork and shapes, but do you know, I don’t care. I love a bit of music and a dance. I must admit that my legs were ready to scream at me towards the end but at least they lasted. I was on them from 7.00 in the morning till 1.00 the next morning so I think they had a right to protest. I’ve had them for such a long time they are getting a tad worn out now!!! 🤣 Once again, thank you for agreeing to perform, for all the hard work you put in and for doing the emotional part. Oh and for agreeing to me having a little play with your mic. We both feel that we have known you forever, you are so easy to talk to and are great company. If we ever have another do like that, you are top of our list, Once again you four, thank you for Saturday and it was a pleasure having you.

Great country vibes, brilliant music, and an amazing atmosphere. They really got the crowd going and made it a memorable festival. Definitely a band worth seeing live!" Based in Moseley, England (34 miles from Leicester) 22nd October 2026 Angelika Grobelna - Festival Photo of George Zebra George Zebra "Great experience. The band were perfect for the audience. They arrived early to set up and started on time. Three great sets and interacted really well and joined in the fun. Massive thank you for creating a great night!" Based in Aylesbury, England (58 miles from Leicester) Steve B Photo of Dabhands Dabhands "It was commented our harmonies were above average also that out Classic Rock Songs were a good selection." Based in Cambridge, England (61 miles from Leicester) Luke -Entertainment Manager - Function /Club Photo of Let It Bleed Let It Bleed "What can I say, what an amazing band! Booked for the celebration of life for my dad who was a massive stones fan and it was better than I could have ever imagined. The sound was great, not gimmicky, just a great band playing the best stones song. 80 guests and everyone said how good they were. One thing that sets the bar high for them is I asked for a song that isn't typically found on a stones set list but holds deep sentiment to myself, with only a weeks notice I didn't think they'd be able to do it....and they did! Such a lovely way to remember my dad....he would have absolutely loved it! Thank you so much guys! P.s. sorry it took so long to write this review!" Based in Abingdon, England (67 miles from Leicester) 9th July 2026 Adrianne Holman - Celebration of life
