Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

Lotus Flower
"Had the 5 piece band for out joint 50th. We had a great night with some top tunes for everybody there, for me, just wish it was louder and longer 🤣... but great band, well worth having"
1st March 2025
Richard Hall - Joint 50th Birthday
The New Rules
"If you love the stripped-back, chilled-out style of a Live Lounge, this trio is right up your street. With amazing vocals, top-notch musicianship, and the ability for turning hit songs into something fresh and unique, they brought a relaxed yet energetic vibe to our big day. Their setlist is full of well-known tunes, but each one has a cool acoustic twist. Whether it’s a slowed-down version of a dance track or a soulful take on a pop classic, they make every song feel new. If you’re after live music that’s both familiar and refreshingly different, this trio is a winner. Laid-back, feel-good vibes all the way."
1st March 2025
Carrie Higgs - Wedding

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.
