Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

Xstatic Duo
"They are honestly incredible! We had a wonderful party celebrating my 21st. Everyone was on the dance floor having an amazing time. Thank you both so much for entertaining us all x"
31st January 2025
M Green - 21st Birthday Party
Sarah Lucy Jazz Trio
"AMAZING - made our wedding day Sarah, Martin and Matt performed at our wedding last year. They sung whilst I walked down the aisle, performed during the drinks reception and then gave some backing music during our wedding breakfast. Our guests absolutely loved it. They even went around to the tables during the food and sang to each table. It made it very special. The band were super easy to work with, very responsive and learned a song for us which was so lovely. Great value for money too. Would absolutely recommend!!!!"

Hannah Garvey - Wedding
Hot Hats (Acoustic Covers Band)
"We have known Alfie for at least ten years. He has performed for us every New Years Eve for the past 10 years. His repertoire of songs and his professionalism has each year been complimented by our hotel guests, who have been staying to see in the New Year. He is also great at getting the guests involved and dancing! We have no issues with recommending him. Not only is his music really good, he is a nice guy too."
10th February 2025
Gill Hands - NYE Party
Acousonic
"Acousonic came to play for 150 of us for an Xmas party and were absolutely first class in every way. Andy and the boys rocked it from start to finish. There wasn’t a moment during the entire set where people weren’t up on the dance floor having a great time. I would recommend Acousonic to anyone looking for a highly skilled, lively band who really know their stuff."
27th March 2025
Duke Of Gloucester Barracks - Christmas Party
Niko Band
"It was an amazing band for our wedding! We really made a good choice! They played modern hits and good old songs too 👍 Thank you for the best dance-floor atmosphere ever!"
1st April 2025
Victoria Muizniece - Private Wedding
Bobby's Midnight Treat

Frequently asked questions

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
Each event is different but the typical performance time for bands & ensembles is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.
Booking bands & ensembles as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
Most bands & ensembles are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some bands & ensembles have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
Frequently asked questions about Bands & Ensembles, how to register and how results are ordered are in the help & FAQs.
