5/5 from 1,017 reviews
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 (35 miles from Scarborough) Rob Bowes - Festival Photo of Reverie Reverie "I booked Reverie last minute for a New Years event as my act fell through last minute. They were consummate professionals and provided an amazing night of entertainment. You will not be disappointed if you book this band, they are AMAZING!" Based in York, England (35 miles from Scarborough) Rosie Skilbeck Photo of Marc Clough Music Marc Clough Music "A natural performer with a strong, multi-textured powerful voice, Marc has always been a central figure in the independent world, but with his new project, he’s boldly stepping out on his own, and the result is absolutely breathtaking. With a gorgeous, inimitable sound that is both refreshing and engaging,... His sound is a wonderful example of that contemporary acoustic sound, offering an earthy, smooth and yet wonderfully gritty style that will have you entranced from the very first note." Based in Hull, England (37 miles from Scarborough) 13th April 2026 Thomas Bedwood, Broken8records,Australia - Music critic/ reviewer/promoter Photo of Mota Mota "I booked the MOTA boys for the Station's New Year's Eve party. They sounded great, played lots of well-known popular songs and got the audience going. Looking forward to booking them again soon." Based in Middlesbrough, England (39 miles from Scarborough) 24th June 2026 Dave F - New Year Party Photo of The Firebeats The Firebeats "Thank you for a wonderful night!! We hope to see you again in 2024." Based in Stockton-on-Tees, England (42 miles from Scarborough) The Manager - NYE @The Ripon Inn Photo of South West Band South West Band "We wanted something a little different for our wedding — not just the typical DJ playing the same songs on repeat. Since we absolutely love live music, we knew the band had to be something special. When I came across South West Band on Instagram, I was instantly blown away. From the first clip I saw, I knew they were the ones. Not only are they unbelievably talented, but they also know exactly how to get the crowd hyped and keep the dance floor full all night long. Honestly, BOOK THEM — it’s an absolute must! They were one of the best parts of our entire day, and we have zero regrets. If we could do it all over again, we’d choose them in a heartbeat. 10/10, without a doubt!" Based in Leeds, England (57 miles from Scarborough) 8th April 2026 Kayleigh McClarnon - Wedding
