About the Band

Choosing a functions band is a nightmare. You've probably looked at a load of band sites already. They all no doubt claim that they are "professional" possessed of "high energy", have "years of experience" are guaranteed to "keep everyone dancing"* etc, etc...

Then there are the superlative-laden testimonials where the bride and groom say how the band were "amazing"/"fantastic"/"incredible" and of course "kept everyone dancing"*. (We used to have those but how does anyone know they are genuine?)

It's a difficult and stressful decision; according to our research the number one concern that people have is whether the band will turn up.

Most of the above should be a given really - of course a wedding band should be professional, have good experience and get people dancing*. It's a bit like an electrician boasting that 'you should get me to fix your wiring because I won't electrocute your family'.

Well, we think our promo video says everything about us so check that out on the homepage.

In the meantime here are the basics:

We play loads of pop/rock/indie/funk.
‍We also have some Irish songs for those with Celtic connections.
‍We are based in the South East but travel all over.
‍We will turn up.

We'd love to play at your party or wedding so please get in contact and we'll hopefully put your mind at rest and take away all of this agonising. Sometimes the guitarist even invites clients round his house and gives them tea.

*dancing - people always go crazy in the second half. They sometimes go crazy from the off but only if they are not stuffed full of vol au vents. In such an event they wait for thirty minutes for them to digest then go crazy and hassle the band for more songs at the end of the night. Bear that in mind party planner.
