Booked for Wedding

We cannot recommend The Soul Department enough, they were amazing. All of our guests said they were the best wedding band they had ever seen and everyone had an absolute blast, they really got the party going. From booking to arrival, The Soul Department were really easy to deal with, responsive and clear, and put us at ease. I would highly recommend booking this band!

Booked for Birthday party

Jess and the Red Hot rags were amazing. Having planned an small private event for my Father in Law that had to be postponed due to Covid we were delighted to reorganise an outdoor, social distancing event for today. Red Hot Rags played wonderful music and made a man whose health is rapidly fading very very Happy. I can't thank them enough for all they have done and would recommend them to anyone.Thank you so much.

Booked for Birthday party

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

Booked for Birthday party

Halos helped make my husbands 40th an afternoon and night to remember. Arrived with loads of time to set up, and 2 hour sets, great vibe and a lovely voice for a long summer afternoon. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Booked for Birthday party

"From the start LeFunk! were responsive, respectful and very organised so I knew exactly where I stood and it made organising the event really easy, which I really appreciated. At the party the band were helpful and generous in supplying the equipment we needed. They were the perfect band for our event. The music was fantastic. They are excellent musicians. Everyone was so impressed with the singer and lots of people asked about how I booked the band etc. The music they performed was in keeping with our theme, taste and requests. They made it a great event. We really enjoyed dancing to them. Thanks LeFunk!"

Booked for Wedding

"Halos were absolutely fantastic. Really good communication in the lead up to our wedding, looking to be as helpful as possible. So many guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music. We wouldn't have changed them for anything. Thank you!"

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.
