Reviews of Top 40 Bands available in Leicester

5/5 from 665 reviews
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!"

I've received so many emails from the attendees saying how great the band were. James and the band are so accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. Thanks so much guys!!" Based in Birmingham, England (34 miles from Leicester) Racheal - Corporate awards Photo of Hard To Handle Wedding Band Hard To Handle Wedding Band "Hard to Handle played at our wedding in July 2021. During the booking process they were very professional, fast to reply, and answered all our questions. On the day they arrived on time and played a fantastic set, including our choice of first dance and lots of our requests. I would highly recommend them for a wedding or any other event, especially if you want a covers band leaning more towards the rock side like we did." Based in Birmingham, England (34 miles from Leicester) Matt Harper - Wedding reception Photo of Blinding Lights Blinding Lights "Hi, Me and my new husband just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the rest of the band as well as the DJ for performing at our wedding on 29th May. You were all amazing and everyone has been raving to us about how brilliant you were!!! My mum was standing on chairs dancing away (hilarious to see!). I would recommend you to anyone and everyone who is looking for an awesome band!! Thank you again for making our wedding night unforgettable!! From Lisa and Callum" Based in Birmingham, England (34 miles from Leicester) Lisa and Callum Photo of The A-Listers The A-Listers "Hi Guys, Just wanted to thank the band for a great performance at my Wedding at Sale Waterside Arts Centre. We were delighted & enjoyed all your songs. All of our guests commented on how good you were. Good luck for the future & rest assured that we will be glad to tell others how good you were. Kind Regards Peter Nugent *****" Based in Birmingham, England (34 miles from Leicester) Peter Nugent - Wedding - 21st Aug Sale, Cheshire. 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 (44 miles from Leicester) 8th July 2026 Katie Reynolds - Birthday
