Reviews of Festival Themed Bands based near Cardiff

5/5 from 37 reviews
Photo of The Session Band The Session Band "We hired The Session Band for our wedding in Devon. They were brilliant throughout the whole process from enquiry, to booking, to performing. Before the booking, they also gave us other options to add on if we wanted. Once we booked, they sent over their website with their library of songs. We picked a few we liked and they then built their set from that. They also agreed to play our first dance song that we requested. The band were great when they arrived and were accommodating with us as we were slightly behind schedule. Our guests absolutely loved the band and we had so many positive comments from them. In between the band sets we also went for the DJ and Saxophone option, which were great at getting people dancing towards the end of the night. Overall a brilliant experience and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band." Based in Cardiff, Wales 3rd November 2025 Aiden Shearer - Wedding Photo of The Grade The Grade "Just want to say the biggest thank you in the world to Rock Nation!!! They played at my wedding in November and they were incredible!! Everyone has been constantly messaging me about how good they were and I can't thank them enough. They put on an amazing show, so professional and on top of that they are just really nice guys!! So lucky to have been recommended them as they made our night magical! The biggest thank you once again!! *****" Based in Cardiff, Wales Simon Rathbone - Wedding Nov 2019 Photo of The Deltas The Deltas "The best birthday surprise possible! I knew my husband was going to organise something special as he always likes to go all our but this was the icing on the cake! The band even performed a special coldplay song at his request for me! I feel like a very lucky lady!" Based in Weston-super-Mare, England (13 miles from Cardiff) Maura Hemming - Birthday Party Photo of Be Here Now - Oasis Tribute UK Be Here Now - Oasis Tribute UK "I’ve seen them a number times now, always a great atmosphere they definitely get the always packed venue singing along. Definitely one of the best tribute oasis bands around and I’ve seen a few!!! Really friendly band. If you get the chance to watch/ hire them you certainly won’t be disappointed." Based in Exeter, England (54 miles from Cardiff) A W - Pub event Photo of The Bridge The Bridge "I had not seen these guys before my party but they were recommended by a few different people. To say I was delighted would be an understatement- they played for over two hours non- stop and kept the party going- everyone danced! They seem to have an endless repertoire of different genres and are good fun. Book them !" Based in Cheltenham, England (55 miles from Cardiff) Sally Marchant - 50th birthday party Photo of Forever Elton (Elton John tribute) Forever Elton (Elton John tribute) "Phil and Josh turned up at the agreed time to set up and sound check, then changed into splendid costumes for the performance. The performance was stunning and had the audience enthralled including at least one die hard Elton fan. Phil had discussed and agreed times before hand and was flexible in the night to accommodate any changes needed. Extremely professional and wonderful entertainment. Highly recommended." Based in Bridgnorth, England (80 miles from Cardiff) Dave M - 50th Birthday
