"The Arrival played the evening reception of our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic with so many guests commenting about how good they were.

The guys were great from the day we booked them, provided plenty information and fielded any queries quickly and professionally. They even learned our first dance song and did an excelled cover of it.

If you're looking for a band for an event, then look no further."

Absolutely awesome band. We booked them for our Wedding on 21st August 2018 at Newton Hall in Northumberland and they were more than happy to travel for us. Brilliant performance over two sets. All our guests were very impressed. Also they made an excellent touch by allowing our daughter to play and sing before their set and also allowed her to sing with them on the closing song. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!

"These boys played our wedding on 22nd September 2018 at Walworth Castle in Darlington and absolutely smashed it out of the park. Completely exceeded mine and my wife’s expectations and we couldn’t of been happier with their performance.

The dance floor was rammed from 7pm till 12pm. The lads were very laid back in terms of bandaoke, letting people get up to not only sing but play the guitar and drums also.

We have had so many positive comments from guests about how good the band were. We would recommend them 100%.

Thanks for everything boys

Mr & Mrs Robson"

Booked The Arrival to play at a reunion of ex students. Can't recommend them highly enough. Arrived and set up on what was arguable one of the hottest days of the year! All the guests were in high spirits following Englands win in the football and the band just topped off our weekend. They captured the mood of the guests brilliantly and on behalf of everyone a huge thank you

"Absolutely outstanding band both as live performers in their own right and in doing ""Bandeoke"" to make normal folk feel like rock stars by singing with them for the evening. They performed both of these at our wedding on 22.06.2018 and made our night go down a storm!
Could not recommend them any more. Thanks so much."
