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 (5 miles from Preston) John - Corporate Event 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 (22 miles from Preston) 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.

At our wedding they kept everyone dancing all night and I can't thank them enough for making our big day so amazing. Thanks very much" Based in Manchester, England (27 miles from Preston) Nicole & Matt Kelly - Private Wedding Photo of The Ultimate Party Band UK The Ultimate Party Band UK "We first saw you when you were presenting the karaoke in the 270 bar, you have got such charisma and charm.
