Reviews of the vinyl era band

A

Aaron Foster

Couldn’t fault the band at all. They played at our wedding reception near Bristol and genuinely helped make it one of the best nights of our lives. Fantastic song choices, loads of energy and just really nice people to deal with.

J

Jodie Phillips

The trio performed at our village hall fundraiser and were absolutely brilliant. Everyone was up dancing by the second set and they were so approachable and friendly throughout the night. We raised more money than expected partly because people stayed all evening.

M

Mark Ellis

Booked for a product launch event in central London and they were spot on. Smart setup, sounded fantastic and helped create exactly the kind of lively atmosphere we were after without it feeling intrusive.

K

Katie Morris

We hired the trio for our engagement party and they absolutely smashed it. Great vocals, brilliant musicianship and a really fun atmosphere all evening. We’re already trying to think of another excuse to book them again.

L

Luke Hammond

The band played at my dad’s retirement party and were excellent. Friendly, punctual and genuinely talented musicians. They got everyone involved and made the whole evening feel really special.

S

Sarah Green

Honestly one of the best live bands we’ve seen at a wedding, and thankfully they were playing at ours! So many guests commented on how good they were. Communication beforehand was brilliant too which made planning so much easier.

B

Ben Clarke

We booked them for a corporate networking event and they struck exactly the right tone. Great live music without overpowering the room early on, then later turned it into more of a party atmosphere. Really versatile musicians.

C

Chris & Megan Walters

The trio played our marquee wedding and completely brought the evening to life. They judged the crowd perfectly and kept the atmosphere upbeat all night without it ever feeling cheesy or over the top.

O

Olivia Turner

Can’t thank the band enough for performing at our wedding. They had everyone singing along and dancing from the first set. We had guests asking for their details before the night was even over.

H

Hannah Lewis

We booked the band for a charity gala event and they were fantastic from start to finish. They looked professional, sounded amazing and were incredibly accommodating with timings and announcements throughout the evening.

R

Ryan Cooper

The trio played at my 30th birthday and honestly made the night. Really easy going guys, sounded incredible live and played a great mix that suited everyone there. Worth every penny.

C

Chloe Bennett

Thank you again for such an amazing evening at our wedding. The acoustic set during drinks reception was beautiful and then the evening set got everybody up dancing. We didn’t want it to end.

J

James Holloway

Absolutely brilliant band. We booked them for our Christmas work party in London and the energy in the room completely changed once they started playing. Dance floor was full within minutes.

E

Emily Saunders

We had the trio for my parents’ anniversary party and they created such a lovely atmosphere. Everyone from teenagers to grandparents enjoyed it which is harder to achieve than people realise. Really talented musicians and lovely people too.

N

Nathan Price

Booked for a corporate awards evening in Cardiff and they were superb. Professional setup, excellent communication beforehand and a really polished performance on the night. They adapted perfectly to the crowd and timing of the event.

L

Laura Mitchell

The band performed at our wedding in the Cotswolds and honestly helped make the whole day feel special. They learnt our first dance song and absolutely nailed it. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

D

Daniel Reeves

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the trio for performing at my wife’s surprise birthday party. They were friendly, relaxed and sounded fantastic. We’ve had so many people message us afterwards saying how brilliant the music was.

S

Sophie Carter

We hired the band for our company summer party and they completely exceeded expectations. Great mix of songs for all ages and they read the room really well. It felt more like being at a proper live event than a standard corporate function.

T

Tom & Rachel Jenkins

The band played at our wedding and honestly couldn’t have been better. Professional from start to finish, easy to deal with, turned up early and the atmosphere they created in the evening was exactly what we wanted. The dance floor was packed all night.

B

Becky Holder

We booked the trio for my 40th birthday in Bath and they absolutely made the evening. They got the balance spot on between chilled background music during food and then filling the dance floor later on. Loads of our guests commented on how good they were and asked where we found them. Would 100% book again.
