Booked for Celebration

Rami and Lisa were perfect for our garden hog roast party. It was the perfect tempo, sound and vibe. We had pop hits and classics and they even learnt some Taylor Swift (for my Missus who is a Swifty). We had multi generations at our party and everyone got into it. Also. It was the perfect volume - no police were called for irritating the neighbourhood peace :) Don't hesitate to hire them for your next party

Booked for Wedding

We were absolutely blown away by Groove Collider. Every guest without exception commented on how fantastic the band were. Excellent playlist, perfect vocals, amazing sound and extremely engaging. They made a perfect atmosphere for the party after our wedding. Extremely easy to deal with and book. Effortless set up, and very good value for money. The band had everyone on the dance floor and were happy to give a few encore numbers at the end because our guests wanted more. Highly recommended for any event where you want to let your hair down and have a great night. Thanks to Mark and the band, we would definitely book again!

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 Celebration

I cannot fault Indigo Delight and their manager Rhona Downie - from start to finish Rhona was absolutely superb at managing all queries with us whilst the band on the day were fantastic. The performance really did make our day extra special and our guests were over the moon with them, enjoying every second. Highly recommended! They ventured across disco/rnb/soul/pop for us :)

Booked for Wedding

We can’t thank Groove Allstars enough for their professional approach and outstanding performance at our wedding in the Wylam Brewery. We booked the 8 piece band (male and female singers plus brass) and they literally had the whole wedding dancing all night. They were very accommodating with learning our first dance and also let us select a load of songs off their repertoire to work into their current set list. Can’t recommend these guys enough!!

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

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.
