Darren Lui2 Jun 2024

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 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

What a great night, with key numbers that had the crowd singing and dancing all night long. A wide variety of music so the young and the old were amused. African classics to Some queen and rap. Great value for money and a light system that reached out to our space wonderfully

Booked for Other Event

"Event - Masonic Ladies Night Trevor and the boys were quite simply - fantastic. With a wide spectrum of ages, they were able to read the crowd and play accordingly. Very accommodating, as I'm a bit fussy! Can't recommend enough."

Moira Hankinson12 Apr 2018

Booked for Private party

"A great band! The Cheers added fantastically to the atmosphere of my party; playing 60's-to-now rock; brilliant for dancing. Also - for you hosts out there - so easy to deal with: efficient; prompt responses; clear info; a great playlist; did what and when they promised - excellent."

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.
