Bill Edwards23 May 2025
Frankie took special instructions from me over the phone while I was walking. And they followed those instructions on the day precisely to fit my needs. They provided background music while our friends gathered; they took their break while we ate our supper; then played upbeat music to get us up dancing. The came on time, and left on time. My friends came up to me afterwards to congratulate me on the music. And the food, but that is another story. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking for fun live music at their party ❤️❤️❤️

Cheesecake were absolutely fantastic ! Nothing was too much trouble, they were fun, on time , the crowd were dancing the whole evening and didn’t want them to stop. Everyone at my daughters wedding kept asking me where we had hired them from . They were in contact before the event checking exactly what we needed and were so kind and helpful. I will defo be using them again and would highly recommend them well worth every penny . Thank you Cheesecake !

We booked run for cover for our wedding back in 2019 and due to covid we finally had our big day in June 2022. They stuck by us for all that time and we're very accommodating and professional and kept in touch throughout. We opted for the band with their DJ service in between. The Song choices were discussed with us in advance, and the band even played our first dance Live, and provided the audio to us for the videographer to get better sound quality. The guys were so friendly and down to earth and sounded amazing on the night. They really made the night stand out and we had loads of comments saying how good they were. We are very glad we decided to opt for this band instead of just a DJ as the atmosphere was fantastic. Couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. Thanks run for cover.

We had a great experience from start to finish with these guys. Martin and I had a good chat through things over the phone in advance of our wedding to answer some of my questions and work out a few logistics and finer details. Martin was very reassuring and accommodating and followed up promptly with details as promised. On the big day, the band were fantastic. They got themselves set up and adapted without any trouble to a delayed start (our meal had overrun). The music sounded great and the calling was really clear and with just the right amount of explanations to get everyone dancing and more or less(!) doing the right things whilst still keeping things moving nicely. Nearly all our guests, young and old, ended up getting stuck in, which was great fun and made our day extra memorable for everyone. Highly recommended!

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
