Booked for Other Event

Excellent performance, immaculate dress, turnout and bearing. Punctual and accommodating to our needs. Made the evening extra special - only disappointment was when he had to leave. Cannot recommend this guy highly enough.

Keith Lockton11 Dec 2021

Booked for Birthday party

This band is amazing - have to mention the lead singer- just off the scale- and all of the band were the very best you could ask for. I’m trying to find an excuse to host another party so I can book them again!!

Kevin was amazing! Certainly made our engagement special. Brought our guests together with the music. Great at reading a crowd. Certainly wouldn’t hesitate to book Kevin again to make another event perfect! Thank you so much for making our night amazing.

Booked for Anniversary

They were wonderful, arrived in plenty of time despite a long drive, played absolutely perfect music for the occasion and couldn’t be more accommodating and laid back. They were such a hit with everyone, beautiful voice and very cool guitar. Highly recommend them

Booked for Wedding

Singers were absolutely fantastic-very beautiful sounds. Lots of friends said how amazing FourFour were and the vicar wanted them to come back as soon as possible!

Chris Walker10 Nov 2018

Booked for Private party

"The band were excellent. They arrived at the pre-arranged time in order to set up before our meal. They did this quietly and efficiently. Our meal and speeches overran by a good 30 minutes but they wre very accomodating and didn't stop playing until well past the original agreed time. Their choice of music fitted in excellently with the clientele and we thoroughly enjoyed their two sets. We would have no hesitation in using them again and heartily recommend them to anyone reading this review Oh! - and they were excellent value for money. I have heard groups charging much more who were not as good by a mile!"

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.
