Mr Simon Bone12 Aug 2021

Booked for Birthday party

Cool Groove were excellent. The music was good and helped provide exactly the right atmosphere for what was an all round excellent evening. They are very talented, flexible and nothing was too much trouble for them. I found them to be very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Monika to you and to your band.

Booked for Wedding

We hired the Alchemists to perform at our wedding, and they were fantastic. They did an amazing set full of suitable songs for the occasion which had people up and dancing but were also relaxed enough for others to mingle and chat. We had to cancel our wedding 3 times over the lockdown and communication with Ryan was excellent over the year from when we first contacted them, till the big day. If your looking for a classy, professional and above all entertaining band these guys would be your best bet.

Booked for Birthday party

Looking for an awesome band for your party? Look no further. Giulia and The Lizards were such a great find for my birthday bash. They have a great sound - Giulia has a fantastic voice - play great tunes and the right stage presence to encourage your guests to get up and dance - which they did all evening. On top of that, they were so accommodating and just lovely people to work with! Even weeks later, people keep telling me how awesome the band was and where did I find them?! I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Booked for Birthday party

The Trends were perfect for my party, it was a small venue which the band filled with great music. They were very friendly and professional and judged the atmosphere brilliantly and therefore played 2 great sets Would thoroughly recommend them

Booked for Birthday party

Booked these for my 30th in Worcester and they were sensational, non stop dancing tunes from start to finish. I was hesitant at first when I received the cost from the PopTop website so I contacted a member of the band personally who communicated with me very professionally. They played 2 sets, both over an hour and got better and better throughout the evening. They were awesome and even surprised me by planning a song for the flashmob of Jackson 5 and learnt 'Blame it on the boogie' for the evening! Truly GREAT. Highly recommended!

Booked for Celebration

We hired The Alchemists for our wedding party and they were phenomenal. They're incredibly talented and had everyone on their feet loving their lives from the first song. They were so good that people were even trying to dance during their sound checks! Their customer service was excellent from day one and the whole band are lovely, lovely people. We've had so many of our guests commenting on how amazing they were, not just in their performance, but also in their vintage, quirky music style. They were everything that we wanted for our special day and we couldn't recommend them enough. Thanks so much guys! Hannah & Jon
