After arriving a little late (hence the lack of a fifth star) once settled in I have to say that the guys nailed it! Great interaction with the crowd, got people literally standing on the tables and chairs. Set the atmosphere for a great night. Would certainly recommend.

What a brilliant band! I could not have hoped for a better experience. Excellent sound, huge range of songs. Super professional. I loved them. The Swanlock Duo made my birthday party really marvellous. My friends all raved about them too. Clever use of loop and wonderful voice. Thank you so much. I havent got any photos yet, but my daughters are putting them together for me. Book Them!

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…

A & R what can I say, absolutely amazing a couple of songs in and lights down everyone hit the dance floor. Amazing from start to Finish I wish they could have stayed longer. If I was booking any future events, they would be the first person I contact to see if they are available. Great Memories made in those couple of hours of performing from Our first dance and getting the oldies up to some great music. Thank you for making…

Fantastic evening!!! I booked Run For Cover for my dad’s 70th birthday party and they were perfect. Throughout the evening (and afterwards) many people commented on how good they were and how they ‘made’ the party. They were very approachable, friendly, accommodating and professional. Communication before the event was excellent and incredibly helpful. I would recommend them wholeheartedly!

Booked with Poptop

We were looking for a live band and PopTop made it easy to find something which was ideal for us. Easy to book and pay a deposit and the balance later. Vicious Kitten played at our 40th wedding anniversary party and were BRILLIANT! The band are just lovely and play everything from ABBA to AC/DC! Really good! Thank you for a wonderful evening. So much better than a run of the mill disco. 😉
