Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

Richardson Swing Duo
"George and Chris played at our wedding reception at Dodford Manor and we couldn’t recommend them more! It was the perfect background music and they are clearly very talented musicians. George was really friendly and easy to liaise with. He was very accommodating to our music choices and together they set the perfect tone for our drinks receptions. Five stars!"

The Nomads

Amy & Sam - Wedding
Groove time
"Honestly mate – you guys were ace and just what we were looking for! I think the dancefloor was full, from the moment you guys started playing, to when you finished which I think says it all. I spoke to a lot of people on the night and everyone I spoke to really enjoyed the set you played. You were brilliant mate, and thanks for the short notice use of your microphone as well – I know that got dropped on you at the last second!"

Matthew - Private Event
Soul Factor
"We knew Soul Factor would be great after watching the videos and reading the reviews, but they surpassed all our expectations. We danced, partied and sang along to every song! The mix of songs and the variety was next level. Tom and the band are so talented and we couldn’t believe the vocal performances as well. We would recommend this band to anyone who wants the get their party started for any event. Kirsty & Arthur, Wedding at Oxnead Hall – 17th August 2024 "

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.
