Booked for Wedding

Olly made our wedding so much more wonderful and we would recommend him to anyone. He was polite, friendly and had great communication throughout including learning a new song that my husband had written for me! We cannot wait to use him again!

Booked for Birthday party

Two left feet were brilliant!! The music and calling was so good that nearly everyone there was up and dancing. They helped celebrate my 50th in style. All my friends keep commenting on what a great night they had and were surprised how much they enjoyed it. My friend has booked them for her birthday so I’m looking forward to doing it all again!!

Booked for Birthday party

Emma was absolutely brilliant! She really made my husbands 60th birthday party super special. Great singer who was very professional, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. She sang all the songs we’d requested and lots of dance floor fillers. We all absolutely loved her entertaining us and cannot recommend Emma highly enough. If you want a fantastic singer & entertainer, choose Emma. She really was a star ⭐️. Thankyou so much .

Booked for Corporate Function

Had a corporate function and wanted and Irish theme the band were excellent and everyone enjoyed their music, although no one danced it was not an issue as the band played music that was appropriate for the event and thoroughly entertained us. Thank you and we will book you again Jane

Booked for Private party

Radio Romantic were amazing. They got the guests up on their feet, they played requests, had a laugh with us and really engaged with us all. Great music and lovely people

Paul Mooney10 Mar 2018

Booked for Wedding

The group arrived on time and provided the surprise entrance that we wanted. Everyone loved them and thought that the music was very good. Although I asked them not to play any English music or songs and to keep it traditional Spanish, but lively, they did play some English although it went down well with the guests anyway. The only problem I experienced was trying to get hold of Franco beforehand. I contacted him a few weeks before and he said he would get back tio me a gcouplke of days later, but didn't . So I evntually managed to talk to him and sort things out, but it wsa getting very close to the day!

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.

Can I check a setlist of a certain function band?

Every London function band has a Poptop service description page which displays their setlist. Some groups specialise in different genres and eras, and so provide multiple setlists for you to choose from. Before the event you can discuss the songs with your chosen group and make sure that your favourite songs from the list make the final selection. Some groups are happy to receive special requests but they need to be made with plenty of notice.

Do I need to provide or set up any equipment?

Whichever band you choose to perform at your London function they are required to provide their own equipment. Every one of Poptop’s service providers include the sound equipment, the set up and soundcheck within the booking price. Some bookings also include extras such as atmospheric lighting and suitable background music that they play between sets when they are taking their breaks. You can check these details on each supplier page.
