THE SETLIST
Our current setlist has been a decade in the making. We have tried-and-tested hundreds of songs and selected the ones that work best. On any given night, our setlist is a mix of high-energy dancing songs, party bangers and sing-a-long classics. We want the evening to go off without a hitch and a well-crafted setlist is absolutely essential for this to happen. We will learn first dance requests for wedding clients.
THE PLANNING STAGE
We also pride ourselves on being professional and accommodating during the planning stage. We will answer every question in a timely manner and try to accommodate any request. On top of that, we will use our extensive knowledge of events and weddings to help you plan the perfect event.
ON THE DAY
When you book The Groovy Cats, you can relax in the knowledge that your entertainment is taken care of. We will turn up early, set up our equipment in a professional manner, and get changed into our suits for the performance. We pride ourselves on our customer service and ability to mix seamlessly with the guests. Then, when we take the stage, you can guarantee that the dancefloor will be packed! We play 2X one-hour sets, building up the energy as the night progresses. Plus, we will DJ in between and after our performance (for free) to keep the guests having fun.
We booked the Groovy cats for our wedding and I can honestly say they are Amazing! If you are thinking of booking them do it! I have had so many comments since the wedding from everyone about how brilliant the band were, they really did make the night! Everyone was up and dancing and the set list they played was perfect. I really can’t thank them enough!
We were fortunate to book The Groovy Cats for our Summer Corporate Event. From start to finish ultimate professionals and really nice people. The event was a great success to which the great music, sense of humour from the band members all contributed. Would recommend and book again - wait...we have booked again for our Christmas Event - Well done guys - a real pleasure - Chad
Absolutely brilliant band, cannot recommend enough! Everyone commented on how good Groovey Cats were for our wedding evening reception, lovely group of lads, thank you again!
Well all i can say is wow. The groovy cats blew us away. The amount of comments we have received about how awesome they were is incredible. Thank you so so much for everything. From day one until our wedding day you have been brilliant. Thank you for learning lets twist again and im still in love with the batman song. They completed our day for us.
Thanks so much to The Groovy Cats for a fantastic night! So professional from the moment we booked them. Very quick to get back in contact, and answer any questions. Fantastic music and great for any occasion. Thanks so much again - I would recommend them in a heartbeat! Thanks :)
We booked The Groovy Cats for our wedding in June, and in short they were phenomenal!
Extremely talented, professional, good communication, and most importantly for us they really got involved with our day and our guests. Most notably having an impromptu jam session with one of our younger guests! You really made his day guys.
Now all we have to do is find an excuse to book them again....
Thanks so so much, you completed our day!
I contacted the Groovy Cats as we were interested in the band performing at our work's Christmas party. Once we were put in contact with the band, they were very responsive and more than willing to help with the 100's of questions I kept throwing in their direction. Although I did not attend the party, The Groovy Cats got numerous mentions and an outstanding amount of praise. We sent out an internal survey to get some feedback on the event and the music/band appeared countless times with many comments requesting The Groovy Cats for our next party. You really delivered beyond our expectations and I cannot thank you enough. Antonia
Absolutely flipping amazing band! Honestly, the band made a fabulous evening truely spectacular! I couldn’t rave about them more and neither could the guests. We would have another party just to have them play again. Thank you Oliver and the band! You guys are professional, read the crowd 100% and were simply fabulous xxx
I booked The Groovy Cats for my Dad's birthday party and everyone loved them - definitely one of the best function bands I've heard. They played a great mix of music and we all enjoyed dancing along. I can definatley recommend The Groovy Cats and would book them again without hesitation.
The whole crew were absolutely brilliant! They worked closely with me to deliver exactly what we needed, to give 500 members of our junior football club a thoroughly enjoyable evening! The lads flexed to adapt to our requirements and were engaging and friendly all night. I would highly recommend these boys for any party!! Massive thanks! Matt
This is just to say thank you for a really great evening last Saturday. We loved your sound and your choice of numbers. Lots of people commented on how great the band was. We had friends in their 80s who hadn't danced for years but couldn't resist.
We'll certainly recommend you.

We booked the Groovy Cats for our Christmas Party and they were fantastic! We have had endless feedback from the team members to say how great they were and how much they enjoyed the range of music! Would definitely recommend :)
I would just like to thank you all for a great performance at our Ball at the weekend. We all really enjoyed it.
"What can I say? You did Pudsey proud. You‘re a lovely bunch of chaps who transformed our BBC outside broadcast and really brought the party to life. Thank you again for your commitment and sense of fun. And you looked damn cool while doing it.
Thank you, if I ever get married again I am booking you. (Just don’t tell my wife, it’s not like I am using her Facebook log in or anything.)"
Thank you all for a great night last night. The guests all had a great time. You even got one of our farmer friends singing and dancing, something which his family had never witnessed. He sent me a message this morning saying he hadn’t wanted the evening to end.The neighbours tell me it should be an annual event!
“Had these guys at my sisters wedding 8th September. Well worth it, not only lovely guys but great voices and sounds. You won’t be disappointed.”
I booked The Groovy Cats for a corporate charity event I was organising. WOW! Not only was their performance phenomenal, they were great FROM initial point of contact through to the end. They were so helpful and accommodating I cannot thank them enough. They really were brilliant and everyone was raving about them. I will certainly be booking again!
Thanks guys for last night you was awesome, you had the place banging, will definitely have you down at the Twisted Iron Customs clubhouse again!
Darn you guys were amazing last nite! Made an old man very happy & we all look forward to the next time
You created such a fabulous atmosphere and all of our employees only had good things to say about you. A huge thank you for your performance at the weekend. Once again you were fantastic at the weekend
“Just want to say a belated thank you to you and the band for making my retirement party last Saturday a night to remember. Everyone I've spoken to since have commented how good you were and how much they enjoyed the music.”
“We had a great time at the wedding and we are so glad you guys could play. You totally made the evening with your music and style, thank you! Everyone was singing your praises on the evening and since.”
I hope 5 is excellent. as you were outstanding, really got the party going, and such a cool range of songs. I want to book you for my Birthday next year if i find the money!
