Photo of The WeegieBeats 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." Based in Glasgow, Scotland (42 miles from Edinburgh) 29th July 2026 Hannah - 40th birthday Photo of Kerrie Stirling Kerrie Stirling "We were absolutely delighted to have Kerrie play at our family wedding. From the moment she arrived, she brought such warmth, energy and positivity that instantly added to our day. Not only is she incredibly talented but she is also so friendly , approachable and accommodating. She went above and beyond to make our celebration special, even taking the time to learn a song she hadn’t played before because it was important to us. Our dance floor was packed and guests of all ages were up dancing and enjoying themselves. Kerrie’s talent , professionalism and genuine passion for what she does shone through in every moment. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her for any wedding party or special event. She truly helped make our day unforgettable. Thank you Kerrie for being such a special part of our celebration" Based in Glasgow, Scotland (42 miles from Edinburgh) 3rd July 2026 Karen Walsh - Wedding Photo of The Funtime Frankies The Funtime Frankies "Amazing from start to finish - talented, fun, energetic, feel good - you just want to dance! Have played at a few functions for us and would definitely want them to entertain us again in the future! 9 Piece - Awesome!!!" Based in Leyland, England (157 miles from Edinburgh) John - Corporate Event 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 (161 miles from Edinburgh) Rosie Skilbeck Photo of The Upbeats Duo The Upbeats Duo "We found ‘The Upbeats musical duo’ online and contacted them. They were quick to get back to us and communicating with them via email was easy throughout the preparations for our wedding reception. Peter and Rachel recommended the music for us, which was perfect, but were more than happy for us to give them a list of other music, if we had so wanted. From the moment they began singing, everyone was up dancing. We did ask for a particular song for our first dance and Peter and Rachel were only too happy to accommodate. We had the most amazing night, as did our guests. We highly recommend Peter and Rachel and will definitely be calling upon them for future parties." Based in St Helens, England (174 miles from Edinburgh) Debbie & Martin - Private Wedding Photo of Naked Stereo Naked Stereo "You created such an amazing atmosphere and an unforgettable day/ night for my sister's wedding. Thank you so much Paul and Crissie. A perfect afternoon acoustic set and then an incredible party in the evening. Absolutely top. Everyone was talking about how great you were." Based in Manchester, England (175 miles from Edinburgh) Janelle - Wedding
