Booked for Other Event

I booked Reload after the original band cancelled with three weeks to go! Poptop were great at calming me down and suggesting other bands including Reload. And what a great choice! Alex and his band were superb! He contacted me and we had a good chat over the phone as to my requirements and kept in regular touch. He reassured me that he would definitely get the guests up on the dance floor and he definitely delivered. In fact right up to the end when he finished they were chanting “One More Song!” He got the mood absolutely right and I would not hesitate to book Reload again and would absolutely recommend them for any event. Fab guys (and lady singer), fab music, fab evening....what more could you want?

Booked for Wedding

Very talented musicians. Would happily recommend to anyone. These guys were the second music act of our evening and really helped to gently warm things up after a lovely calm and classical string quartet. I really felt that they read the atmosphere perfectly as the music felt just right for that point in the afternoon/evening. Very good indeed. A+

Jess and the band were fantastic. The music was exactly what we were looking for and really made the party. Lots of great feedback from all our guests. Jess was also very responsive and flexible in designing the right tone and set lists to match what we were looking for. I'd recommend highly.

Booked for Wedding

"What a fantastic performance they gave!!!! So happy! I know that the original singer from the video didn't end up being our vocalist which was a bit disappointing but this singer Ed, was really really fantastic so it was all good in the end. Thank you so very much for such a great performance! xxx! Courtney and George"
