Real Reviews By Real People
What an amazing band!! Thank you so much for a fantastic night of entertainment on Saturday at Heskin Hall for our wedding. The first dance played live was brilliant and you had everyone up on the dance floor for the whole night. You played everything we asked for and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Such friendly guys who clearly enjoyed the night as much as everyone else and who were so helpful right from booking them through to the big night itself. Thanks guys.

Why Choose Our Wedding Band?
Unlike most wedding bands for hire, we are a 2 piece with no backing tracks with a HUGE sound. This means the show is completely LIVE. We find this makes interacting with the crowd a lot easier and that’s what we do best! We are a band offering an extensive set list, high energy and charisma to match, we have something for everyone to enjoy on your big day. Don’t think because there is only 2 of us it will sound weak, take a listen to our tracks and watch our videos and see how we get a huge full band sound using Mumford & Sons style kick drums and tambourines!
We have a fully inclusive lighting and sound setup which can cater for between 50 to 350 capacity. We also bring our DJ with us to all evening events to ensure you have mixed music before, between and after our live sets.
