Booked for Wedding

The Shakers were fantastic and really made our wedding reception extra special! They didn’t disappoint and many of our friends and family asked where we found them because they were so good. I made a spotify playlist with songs from their song catalog which I sent to them and they put together a fantastic set list. Additionally, they learnt our requested wedding song which was played beautifully. The photo is of the groom on stage with the band singing Wonderwall. Thank you so much Shakers and we hope to hear you again.

Booked for Celebration

Matt really looked after us for our event. The duo were a great fit with some more chilled versions of classics earlier in the night and very much 'upbeat' versions later on that got us up and dancing! Superb musicians with great vocals and a professional service!

Booked for Birthday party

Fantastic evening!!! I booked Run For Cover for my dad’s 70th birthday party and they were perfect. Throughout the evening (and afterwards) many people commented on how good they were and how they ‘made’ the party. They were very approachable, friendly, accommodating and professional. Communication before the event was excellent and incredibly helpful. I would recommend them wholeheartedly!

Booked for Wedding

Amazing! Everyone at our wedding commented on how good the music was, and the acoustic guitar in the day really set off the day. Really easy to deal with, and always kept me up to date. Thanks for making our day better!

Booked for Anniversary

Our event was a small family party with around 50 people in attendance but we wanted to make it special as it was our first post-Covid get-together. The band definitely made it special! I was a first-time user of Poptop so was a little nervous but Chris got in touch as soon as I'd booked the band and got some info about the event. Together we went over the set-list, our options, our plan for the way the night would run, and the band even helped out with a special request to play a song that meant a lot to my parents. On the actual day, the band were on time, diligent in setting up, and professional at all times. Then when the time came, they rocked! Everybody commented on how good the band were, and having that live music gave the place such an atmosphere that everyone was up and dancing all night. The band were really friendly to our guests, even as the night wore on and a few of us were getting quite drunk! The set-list was top drawer and the band didn't miss a beat - we couldn't recommend them highly enough and they were worth every penny. Several of my guests asked for their details so I have no doubt we'll be seeing them again!
