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 Corporate Function

Alicia was awesome. She has a great voice, and a lovely personality which everyone warmed to. Her repertoire was really good and she had everyone up and dancing from the very first number. Her communication pre-event was very good and she turned up promptly on the night and was professional throughout. Would strongly recommend her to anyone planning an event for a broad age range of people, with a particular emphasis on dance music and classic disco.

Booked for Birthday party

The Rotary Club of Epsom held a Roaring 20's Charity Fundraising ball on 15th Feb 2020. We booked the Sound Express 3 piece band of Dario, Bea & Hose, who were absolutely brilliant. They played & sang so many dance favourites & guests of all ages were up dancing & having a great time. Thank you so much for making our evening so enjoyable. Best wishes, Veronica.

Booked for Birthday party

I booked John as a jazz duo for my mums surprise 80th birthday party, I was looking for just some gentle background music for friends & family to listen to as they enjoyed their high tea & that is exactly what I got, it added to a great atmosphere and made the party. Very professional, sounded excellent, with lots of great feedback from the guests. Highly recommend, would not hesitate to hire these guys again. Thank you, you made the afternoon perfect.

Beyond that, we can cover everything from mellow background jazz to upbeat rock'n'roll that will have your guests up on their feet in no time. So anything from Ella to Elvis, Fats Waller to Fats Domino, or Benny Goodman to Ben E. King, and more besides!
