Photo of Elvis tribute and rock n roll show Elvis tribute and rock n roll show "Paul was a joy to deal with, he responded to quickly to any messages. Arrived early to set up and had the crowd singing and dancing all night with his sets. Having the rock n roll show first was a great warm up to his Elvis set which we would happily book again" Based in High Wycombe, England (15 miles from Reading) Lee Bryant - Gade & Goose Photo of Ant Barnes Ant Barnes "Ant was fantastic!! We asked Ant to sing/ play guitar to one of our favourite songs (Better together, Jack Johnson) during the signing of the register at our church ceremony wedding. He also sang Elton John 'Your song'. We absolutely loved his performance and so many of our guests said how great they thought he was!! He sang them brilliantly and gave an extra personal touch to our ceremony. His kind, easy going nature made the whole process of booking/ arranging very simple. Would highly recommend!!!" Based in High Wycombe, England (15 miles from Reading) Zara & Andrew - Wedding Photo of The Don't Look Now Band The Don't Look Now Band "I wanted to say that we all had a fantastic night & your band were brilliant, everyone raved about you & the party was a swinging success. I called back to the venue the next day to collect the cake & the people there said that they had never enjoyed a party as much & were sorry they never got the chance to dance more than they did (both behind the bar & on the other side of it!). Many thanks for all your help & a special thanks to Lisa for putting up with all the changes that took place when trying to arrange the night. I will definitely be in touch for the next event & wish you every success for the future." Based in Windsor, England (16 miles from Reading) Philippa Brown - Birthday Party Photo of The 35mm The 35mm "I booked the band for a conference event for the evening do. They were fantastic! I really wanted to make sure that people relaxed and enjoyed themselves and The 35mm were perfect for this. Great choice of songs and they created an amazing atmosphere. Thank you guys, for giving our event maximum energy and that little extra sparkle!" Based in Woking, England (20 miles from Reading) Laura Sheath - Merlin entertainments Photo of Tim Payne Tim Payne "Tim played at my 60th birthday party and was absolutely fantastic. He started with a brilliant acoustic set and then moved into more guitar-driven music as the evening went on. He’s a great singer, really got the party going, and is also a genuinely nice guy. I’d highly recommend him for any party or event." Based in Chalfont St Giles, England (21 miles from Reading) 20th September 2026 Naren Patel - Private party in the Garden Photo of Sonicstars Sonicstars "Lucy and I only just returned from holiday last night and are now getting round to say our thanks to everyone. From both of us, we just wanted to say what a fantastic evening’s entertainment you guys provided. We, and our guests, couldn’t have asked for a better time. I loved how you interacted with the crowd and how every song was on the money and kept guests up on the dance floor all night from the very start (which doesn’t always happen!). Thank you also for the ease of communication in the run up to the night. Sonicstars are the no1 party band!" Based in Guildford, England (23 miles from Reading) 23rd March 2026 Andrew D
