We hired The Alchemists for our wedding party and they were phenomenal. They're incredibly talented and had everyone on their feet loving their lives from the first song. They were so good that people were even trying to dance during their sound checks! Their customer service was excellent from day one and the whole band are lovely, lovely people. We've had so many of our guests commenting on how amazing they were, not just in their performance, but also in their vintage, quirky music style. They were everything that we wanted for our special day and we couldn't recommend them enough. Thanks so much guys! Hannah & Jon

"Halos performed at my garden birthday party a few weeks ago and to say they were brilliant is an understatement! Throughout the whole process Jim was very professional but also very easy to communicate with. A thoroughly lovely guy! The day was just perfect, amazing weather, England beating Sweden to kick the party off, and the music being the icing on the cake. Chilled, relaxed, funky soulful tunes. Julie has the most amazing voice and Jim and George excellent musicians. We loved them so much we asked them to play for another hour! If you want a cool, soulful acoustic trio then look no further than Halos, you won’t be disappointed!"

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.
