The WeegieBeats
"Fantastic experience all round…the band were so professional as well as being excellent musicians and the set list appealed to all ages at the party. Everyone was up dancing and all the guests mentioned how excellent the band were. We also had a sax set which was beautiful. Finally the band were so friendly and made my birthday celebration a brilliant event. Thank you so much."
The Big Fat Party Band
"Horizon played at my husband’s 50th birthday villa party in Marbella and they were absolutely spectacular. They played all the classic rock and pop hits we grew up with and the sound quality was fantastic. The band brought so much life and energy to our garden setup, and they really interacted with all our guests. Thank you for making it a night to remember for everyone."
The Minesweepers

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."
