Booked for Wedding

The breeze were absolutely fantastic. Communication was brilliant from booking right up to the big day. Nothing was too much trouble and they even learned a new song from quite a niche artist to perform our first dance. They performed it perfectly and made it so special. All the guests loved the whole set. Thank you do much

Booked for Birthday party

When I went looking for a band for my husband's 60th Birthday party I didn't have a clue where to start. I discovered Poptop and searched through the bands available for the date. What helped me choose The Wonder Whys was their demo and the reviews they had on the site. It is always a leap in the dark when choosing a band for a one off event but I need not have worried. Contact via phone and email directly with the band prior to the party was friendly, timely and informative. I cannot praise the band highly enough, they obviously enjoy performing and their enthusiasm is infectious, their music was exactly what I wanted. Ours was a small event with a range of ages, but they got people up and dancing and the made the party complete. They have a fabulous sound, are lovely people and I cannot thank them enough for making the party perfect, would highly recommend. Husband was delighted and family and friends impressed.
