Dawn S booked The Substitutes for their event in West Midlands • February 2026
“I booked The Substitutes for my husband's 65th birthday in our local pub and they were amazing. They've got a great selection of music in their sets and because my husband is a mad Stevie Wonder fan they added an extra song in for me into their 1st set. Highly recommend, great bunch of lads, very professional and great musicians. Don't hesitate to book them, you won't be disappointed.”
Dom B booked The Leaners for their party at The Harpenden Arms in Hertfordshire
“The Leaners played at our joint birthday party and absolutely made the night unforgettable. They’re expert musicians with a brilliant setlist that kept everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. What really sets them apart is how they make every song their own — not just playing covers, but creating fresh, high-energy versions that feel unique and exciting. They brought incredib...”
Tom J booked Groove Union for their wedding in Oxfordshire • January 2026
“My wife and I booked Groove Union for our wedding and they were simply phenomenal. You're always a bit worried when selecting a band for your wedding based on style, repertoires, and a couple of minutes of a sample reel. You don't know whether they'll sound as good live, or if they'll butcher your first dance. Groove Union put those worries to bed within the first 10 seconds. We had multipl...”
Claire booked The Fulltones for their party • January 2026
“Could not have been better, so friendly and professional”
?????????? A world-class party band
Michael S booked Flair for their event • January 2026
“We've hired Flair for multiple international corporate events and they deliver every single time. Their ability to scale from a 4-piece lineup to a full 12-piece band with brass means they can perfectly match the size and style of the event. The musicianship is exceptional and the setlist is packed with crowd favourites. They bring the polish of a premium showband but with the fun and flexibility ...”
13 years later they were even better :)
Mark L booked Hipster for their party in Berkshire • January 2026
“Hipster were our wedding band back in 2013 and we had the most amazing night. Last night they performed for us again at my wife’s 50th and they were beyond amazing! - All our quests are still raving about them too and how they helped make the night(s) unforgettable.”
Superb band, brilliant performance, very professional
Jenny P booked Domino for their event in Surrey • January 2026
“I loved working with Domino, they were such a lovely group, very professional and great performers. There was no ego, which you sometimes get with musicians, they were completelty the opposite, very down to earth and they filled our client's brief brilliantly. I would highly recommend them.”
“So many of our guests have commented on how amazing you were”
Amanda booked The ShakeDown for their event • January 2026

Sally R booked Cassino for their event in Durham • January 2026
“Great Band, had the room bouncing and everyone on the dancefloor. Thank you so much.”
Sarah G booked Technicolour for their party in West Sussex • January 2026
“We had this band play at our party and they were absolutely excellent. They rang us beforehand to go through the music we liked, and on the night they played all of the songs we’d chosen that were on their set list. They set up on time, were really friendly and professional, and created a great atmosphere throughout the night. Everyone commented on how good they were. Already thinking about when I...”
