Matt really looked after us for our event. The duo were a great fit with some more chilled versions of classics earlier in the night and very much 'upbeat' versions later on that got us up and dancing! Superb musicians with great vocals and a professional service!

Fan Club Acoustic were fabulous, they did a great job - the weather was awful but they were so professional and we are so glad we chose them to perform at our event. Thank you so much :)

Absolutely brilliant, perfect duo for my husband's birthday party, many of our guests commented on how good Two Scoop are. They knew exactly what to play. Thank you to Ryan and Anthony for helping to make our event very special.

Echoes performed 2 sets at our wedding at my parents' house in Gloucestershire on 18th June. We couldn't recommend them more highly. They are super professional, talented, and excellent performers. The band are self-contained, just requiring a couple of plug sockets and some staging, and arrived and set themselves up with no issues during dinner, and were flexible when we were a little late starting. Their performance was absolutely fantastic, and they had the dancefloor packed from the end of our first dance until they finished. Between live sets the band had great playlists on Spotify, and provided about an extra hour's DJ-ing at the end on request. We have had loads of comments from guests about how great the music was, and it is safe to say that they were a massive part of a hugely fun day.

We booked Run for Cover for our wedding in January and can say they were fantastic! The booking process was super easy and they were very responsive and happy to arrange phone calls to answer any questions we had. They went above and beyond by learning several of our special requests and seemed to appeal to all of our guests (young and old) with the variety of music. Many of our guests commented on how great they sounded. We would 100% recommend them and hope to book them again for any other events in the future! Thank you for helping to make our day so special and most of all FUN!

Cherry Valentine and the Bees Knees are absolutely amazingly talented. We absolutely loved them at our wedding reception. Our guests say it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I am sooo glad that we couldn't have a dj and dance floor. We had the best time ever and I couldn't thank them enough. Book now!! You won't be disappointed. They will have you on your feet even if you don't dance! Thank you so much ❤️

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

Playing a complete mixture of music is the best way to make sure that everyone gets to hear something they really like. We don't work to a fixed setlist, but prefer to watch our audience and chop/change our music selections to suit. That way we can make sure the dance floor is always full. Our repertoire is huge and takes in all musical styles/genres such as Swing, Rock 'n' Roll, Motown & Soul, 60's, 70' Disco, 80's, Indie/Rock and of course, current chart hits too.
