Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

Bobby's Midnight Treat
"Fantastic musicians, really lovely people and excellent communication. These guys have such a varied set list and can really entertain a crowd. 100% recommend!"
3rd April 2025
Alex - Venue Booker
Paddy R
"I've seen Paddy a few times at my local pub. A fantastically talented entertainer. He is really accommodating to any requests and really revels in the banter which goes along with a Glasgow gig. Always a great watch, highly recommended. "

Paul Monaghan
Alice Black Jazz and Swing band
"Alice, you and John were absolutely fantastic at our Christmas lunch. To quote from our members: absolutely fabulous; wonderful carols with Alice; where did you find her, book her for next year; one of the best ever. I can’t say anymore – one of the best decisions we have made was having you at the NAT Christmas festivities."
9th April 2025
Tom and Sue Reddy - National Association of Toastmasters’ Annual Christmas Dinner
Marc Alexander
"Marc is a fantastic player and all all-around lovely human. Can play almost anything and frequently performs request gigs, taking tunes from his audience. So versatile and able to find extra musicians to make almost any sort of band for any event."

Alex - Booker/Musician

The Detours
"We booked The Detours for our wedding anniversary party last weekend. They were amazing from start to finish and the dance floor was full the whole night. The support leading up to the event was excellent and everyone commented how brilliant they were fantastic. Would definitely book them again."

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.
