Matt Sheppard8 Jun 2022

Booked for Wedding

Funk City Band were perfect for our occasion. We wanted a band who'd get people up and dancing and they did that perfectly. Craig was very helpful and responsive in the lead up to the event too.

Mark Jones29 Jul 2021

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

I booked Bourbon Street Party for my 40th birthday. From enquiry to booking, it was a seemless process. The play list was quickly sent and suited our taste in music brilliantly. On the night the guys arrived early and were set up ready to go. The music was great and got everyone up. For any event, BSP are recommended. I will certainly book them again. Banging tunes!! Thank you guys!

Booked for Corporate Function

Absolutely brilliant - great voices and lots of fun. We really enjoyed having the Front Covers entertain us at our birthday/charity party celebration. They are a lovely group, totally professional and well organised. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a group who will guarantee a good night of singing and music - they obviously love what they do! Thanks guys - you were fabulous!

Booked for Wedding

Easy to work with, flexible with changes to timings and anything when needed. The band were very professional and sounded great, everyone at our wedding loved them and I have since been asked for their details by a couple of our guests since! Would book again.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
