ABOUT US
First of all, thanks for taking the time to come to our site, and we hope you’re are enjoying your visit.
Through hard work, graft, a bit of luck, and lots of advertising we have been lucky enough to play at some truly spectacular events over these last few years. We consider ourselves primarily a wedding band, as this makes up around 80% of our work. The other 20% is made up of private parties, birthdays, anniversaries, and corporate events.
In 2023 alone we performed at 165 weddings both in the UK and France, and travelled over 25,000 miles from January to December! As you can now see, we get about a bit! (More about this later).
The band itself started back in the summer of 2010 by a bunch of friends that where already playing together with other bands. It started originally as a side project to fill in gaps of there often busy touring schedules working with artists & projects such as: Mark Owen, Peter Andre, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sophie Ellis Bexter, Marianne Faithful, The Darkness, Holy Johnson & Take That, to name but a few.
The band knew that things where about to change when they performed at over 80 events in there first year, far surpassing any expectations.
With the birth of the original website, promo videos and regularly updated fresh demos, the band where only going in one direction.

With our extensive repertoire, we guarantee to have something for everyone at each event that we play. This is something that we strongly believe in, and unlike some bands, we don’t limit ourselves just to the modern songs, we cover everything from the 60’s classics right up to today’s big chart hits. This makes sure that all your guests can have no reason at all not to get on to the dance floor and cut some shapes!
Destination Anywhere
Performing at weddings has taken us all over the UK, and now increasingly to France as we form new relationships with previous clients and wedding planners all over the country.
We are the live band of choice by many wedding planners in France, and are the only UK live band to be trusted time and time again by the top English/French wedding planning company based in the south of France. You can read more about our international wedding packages here.
We believe that hiring a live band is a special thing, and we want to bring that magic to your party.
