The region that produced Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin is an
excellent resource for bands (though ours are a little easier on the
ears).
Our line-ups start with 3-piece bands playing rock’n’roll, pop and a touch of soul music, and continue through to 10-piece extravaganzas complete with keyboards and brass section.
All our bands include a male or female vocalist, and specialise in getting guests onto the dancefloor, and keeping them there.
All our bands are fully self-contained with their own PA sound system, microphones, backline amplifiers and instruments. This works really well for most marquee or indoor weddings.
Let us know if you're expecting more than 250 guests, so we can check whether the act’s system is large enough.
Most bands will also bring lighting for both the stage and dancefloor.
Check the act's individual profile for more details and optional add-ons to enhance the show!
Most bands will be happy to learn and perform your first dance request – provided they think they can arrange it for their line-up and do it justice!
Check the act’s profile to see what they can offer and if they can’t do it live, they could just play it through their PA system using Spotify or an mp3 player.
