Photo of Limelight function/covers band Limelight function/covers band "Amazing band. Great songs and a fantastic singer. Easy to deal with and everyone had a brilliant time. Thanks guys xxx" Based in Bedford, England Joanna Chapillon - Private function Photo of The Big Fat Party Band 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." Based in Milton Keynes, England (14 miles from Bedford) 8th July 2026 Katie Reynolds - Birthday Photo of Shoot To Thrill Shoot To Thrill "Shoot To Thrill were phenomenal throughout. From setting up, to sound check, to the incredible performance on our wedding day, they were fantastic. Our guests loved the music and we have been delighted by the comments we have received from our guests. The musicianship, the perfect sound and the choice of songs were all spot on. Can only say a massive 'thank you'." Based in Milton Keynes, England (14 miles from Bedford) David and Alex Taylor - Wedding Photo of The Tributes The Tributes "Great Big Band with a very varied song list,, Not some of the usual stuff,, played different versions of 70s and 80s classics Will be looking out for their next gig" Based in Stevenage, England (20 miles from Bedford) Ian Whiting - Pub gig Photo of Under The Covers Under The Covers "Under the covers were recommended to me by a friend and after checking them out online I booked them. They didn’t disappoint! I loved them and they even stayed and played music until the end of the party!" Based in Cambridge, England (25 miles from Bedford) Katherine B - Party Photo of Taylormade Live Band Taylormade Live Band "Well, what can I say about Taylormade? They performed at our wedding two weeks ago and they were simply fantastic! Carley and Matt performed two sets at our wedding and their beautiful acoustic sets made our wedding day that something extra special. Not only did they learn and perform a new song for our first dance but performed our requests in their setlists. As well as being a very talented couple, they were also very accommodating when we asked them to perform two longer sets rather than three shorter ones. They have a professional but friendly attitude and their easy-going nature made them a pleasure to work with. We had so many comments from our guests saying how beautiful the music was. Our one disappointment was that we couldn’t just sit and listen to them rather than circulate and speak to our guests! We would strongly recommend them to anyone considering hiring them for any occasion. Carley and Matt thank you for making our day extra special!" Based in Daventry, England (31 miles from Bedford) Jason Beeney - Private Wedding - 21st July 2018 - Marquee On Private Land, Oxfordshire
