Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

The Misfit Makers
"The Misfit Makers played at our corporate Christmas dinner in Liverpool, and they were beyond fantastic! They kicked off the night with festive classics to set the mood and transitioned seamlessly into crowd-pleasing anthems. Their ability to engage the audience was unmatched—people who never dance were up on their feet! We’re still receiving compliments from colleagues, and I can’t imagine a better choice for entertainment."

Rebecca Solis - Corporate Event
Sunny Evans Band (duo, trio, band)
"We had the absolute pleasure of having Sam play at our wedding. And he absolutely added such a special vibe to the day. From helping with hymns in the church to a beautiful set back at the venue. We felt incredibly lucky to have Sam make our day that extra bit special. He played a combinations of covers and his own music but whatever he sang was with pure passion and every single person during our wedding commented on how amazing he was. A real crowd pleasure who appeals to all ages. Thanks Sam, you really were fantastic 🤍"

Jess Anstice - Private Wedding
The Absolute 80’s
"These guys performed for our Big Switch on eve t in Bognor for 2024’s Xmas light show. AMAZING. Several thousand people singing and dancing in the street and Justin, Nicky & Dom couldn’t have been more helpful or professional throughout. Really good entertainers "

Sarah Leaver - Christmas Light Switch On
Delta Band UK
"We booked the Delta Band for our wedding in September, they were amazing! Guests danced all night and we had so many people mention to us how brilliant the band were. One of my favourite moments from our wedding was our first dance (yet this was the part I was dreading!), the band could not have performed our first dance more perfectly. We asked them to slow down the first couple of verses of the song we wanted and it was just perfect. I could not recommend Delta Band more and will definitely be booking them again in future."

Josie Pearman - Wedding
The Phat Beats Big Band
"The band tailored the evening to suit the audience and performed a very good mixture of well known songs from different eras. They were very lively and engaged with the crowd all evening. Everyone enjoyed the evening and many danced wherever they could find space. The whole crowd enjoyed the musicianship and the feedback from everyone was excellent. We would certainly book them again."

Ann Taylor - Jazz Gig - Annie’s Jazz
The Charm Offensive
"These guys played my 30th birthday party and it was a blast! Still recovering from dancing all night. The 2 guitarists started dancing on tables and the party was rocking all night. Amazing night. All really nice guys too and easy to sort out booking. Will definitely be going to see 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.
