A packed wedding dancefloor under a glowing marquee with a disco ball and festoon lights

Live music that fills the dancefloor.

Every note played live, with no backing tracks. We're three mates on keys, guitar and bass, plus the best drummers and singers we know, and we'll learn your first dance for free.

Why couples book us.

We're a tight, fun live band who love nothing more than a packed dancefloor. We read the room, keep the energy up and look after everything on the night, so you can forget about the music and just enjoy it.

  • Every note is live.

    No backing tracks or miming: everything you hear is played in the room, and that's exactly why it feels like a party.

  • Your first dance, learned free.

    Pick any song. We'll learn it and play it live as you walk onto the floor, at no extra cost.

  • We sort the lot.

    Pro PA, a DJ playlist between sets, set-up and pack-down. Travel anywhere in the UK is included in your quote.

Good questions.

Can't see what you're looking for? Drop us a message.

How much does it cost?

It depends on your date, where your venue is and which package you choose, so every quote is tailored. Send us your details and we'll come back within 24 hours with a price. It's free and there's no obligation.

Who's in the band?

The core of the band is James on keys, Josh on guitar and George on bass and vocals. We bring in trusted drummers and singers to complete the line-up, and can add extra musicians for bigger events.

How do we secure our date?

Once you're happy with your quote, we'll send over a simple contract and ask for a deposit. Once that's paid, the date is yours.

Can we choose the songs?

Absolutely. Send us your must-plays and do-not-plays and we'll build the sets around you. We'll also learn a special song for your first dance.

Where do you travel?

Anywhere in the UK. Travel costs are included in your quote, so there are no surprises.

How much space do you need?

Around 4m × 3m is ideal, plus access to a couple of standard power sockets nearby. We can adapt to most venues, so just ask.

Does the venue have a sound limiter?

Lots do! We're used to working with limiters and can adjust our setup so the party keeps going without cutting out.

Are you insured?

Yes. We hold public liability insurance and all our equipment is PAT tested. We're happy to send certificates to your venue.

How far in advance should we book?

Summer Saturdays get snapped up 12 to 18 months ahead, so the sooner the better. That said, it's always worth asking about last-minute dates.

Is your date free?

Tell us a bit about your event and we'll get back to you within 24 hours with availability and a quote.
