Booked for Celebration

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!

Booked for Wedding

Brilliant, can’t recommend these guys enough! The evenings entertainment was flawless, I’ve been to many wedding with more expensive bands who aren’t a patch on these lads!! Unbelievable value for money.

Booked for Corporate Function

This website was so easy to use. Boogie Street were absolutely fantastic. We had a great evening and the mix of songs for both young and old was well chosen. Would definitely book them again and would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of booking a band for any occasion.

Booked for Wedding

Absolutely incredible band, do not hesitate to book! The whole booking process, song selection etc was seamless, correspondence with the band manager Rhona was stress free due to the quick responses. We were kept 'in the loop' the entire time. The first song, which they learned specially, was perfect - couldn't have gone any better! The band turned up on time, set up workout fuss and couldn't have been more accommodating. They were loved by all!! I would not hesitate to book the guys again :)

Booked for Wedding

We booked run for cover for our wedding back in 2019 and due to covid we finally had our big day in June 2022. They stuck by us for all that time and we're very accommodating and professional and kept in touch throughout. We opted for the band with their DJ service in between. The Song choices were discussed with us in advance, and the band even played our first dance Live, and provided the audio to us for the videographer to get better sound quality. The guys were so friendly and down to earth and sounded amazing on the night. They really made the night stand out and we had loads of comments saying how good they were. We are very glad we decided to opt for this band instead of just a DJ as the atmosphere was fantastic. Couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. Thanks run for cover.

Booked for Anniversary

Our event was a small family party with around 50 people in attendance but we wanted to make it special as it was our first post-Covid get-together. The band definitely made it special! I was a first-time user of Poptop so was a little nervous but Chris got in touch as soon as I'd booked the band and got some info about the event. Together we went over the set-list, our options, our plan for the way the night would run, and the band even helped out with a special request to play a song that meant a lot to my parents. On the actual day, the band were on time, diligent in setting up, and professional at all times. Then when the time came, they rocked! Everybody commented on how good the band were, and having that live music gave the place such an atmosphere that everyone was up and dancing all night. The band were really friendly to our guests, even as the night wore on and a few of us were getting quite drunk! The set-list was top drawer and the band didn't miss a beat - we couldn't recommend them highly enough and they were worth every penny. Several of my guests asked for their details so I have no doubt we'll be seeing them again!

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.
