Booked for Wedding

The breeze were absolutely fantastic. Communication was brilliant from booking right up to the big day. Nothing was too much trouble and they even learned a new song from quite a niche artist to perform our first dance. They performed it perfectly and made it so special. All the guests loved the whole set. Thank you do much

Booked for Wedding

We can’t thank Upbeat Street enough for their incredible performance at our wedding reception. From start to finish, they were an absolute pleasure to work with, professional, responsive, and made the whole planning process easy and stress-free. On the day, they completely exceeded our expectations. The energy, the talent, and the setlist had everyone up and dancing, we had countless guests telling us how amazing the band was. You helped create such an electric atmosphere and played a huge part in making the night feel so special and memorable. We only wish we could relive it all over again! We’d wholeheartedly recommend Upbeat Street to anyone looking for a band that delivers on every front.

Booked for Private party

Kommy and Ben gave a great performance. They will really deliver the goods for you, so go ahead and get in touch with them. They were very easy to work with and hit the perfect tone for our intimate family and friends garden birthday party. They set up quickly and were the main surprise part of the party, they had an excellent set list and also welcomed requests.

Booked for Anniversary

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. 😉

Booked for Wedding

Amazing! Everyone at our wedding commented on how good the music was, and the acoustic guitar in the day really set off the day. Really easy to deal with, and always kept me up to date. Thanks for making our day better!

Booked for Wedding

Tom was fantastic in every way. Great at communicating before our wedding and then on the night he and Issac were brilliant. On time, super friendly, great at interacting with our friends and family and the songs they chose were perfect. They read the crowd perfectly and we had so many compliments for having chosen them. Thanks so much guys, you made our day x
