A perfect evening and an amazing band

5 stars - Riser are Highly Recommended
booked Riser for their Wedding in Somerset

“We cannot say enough great things about Riser. They were very flexible and accomodating with arrangements as we tried to make last minute changes to the plans (due to lockdown being extended) and they were such lovely guys. They put together the perfect set for us, and they really are amazing musicians, the music was of an unbelievably high quality. We just cannot recommend them highly enough. They also played our first dance perfectly, and let the groom come up and play a couple of songs with them which all the guests loved. Little touches which really made the night so special. We literally lost count of the number of compliments we received about the band from our guests. Thank you so much guys, we hope to be able to book you for another event in the future. Matt & Emma.”


We could not of asked for a better band!

“What can I say, if you are looking for an awesome band, ’Riser' are amazing! They got everyone dancing, we could not of asked for a better band! They really made our wedding reception even more special. Everyone made nothing but lovely comments about the band, and I will always remember our first dance! ‘Riser' performed it so well, it was perfect' Thank you so much! Toni Merritt Wedding”


They are consummate professionals and outstanding musicians

5 stars - Riser are Highly Recommended
booked Riser for their event

“Everyone at the party was talking about the band, and are still talking about the band. Please do not confuse ’Riser' with a typical wedding/party band - they most certainly are not. They are consummate professionals and outstanding musicians - I would pay very good money just to see them play. Thanks guys for making my wife’s birthday party such a memorable night.”


Thank you so much for an epic day!

booked Riser for their event

“This is the second time we've used ‘Riser'. First was at a wedding and second was at my husband’s birthday party in our garden. Both times, we've been amazed at how these guys get to know the crowd and work with them to make sure everyone is having a great time. All I've had after the party is...."the band were amazing!" Apart from the brilliant song choices, the highlight for us was when one of the band made a boys dream come true by letting him play guitar with them on stage. A moment he and his family will never forget. The band were polite, punctual and answered every possible question we needed to know to make our day go off so smoothly. We will definitely use them again and so will our friends in the future. Thank you so much for an epic day!”


Without question the best covers band I have ever seen and heard!

5 stars - Riser are Highly Recommended
booked Riser for their event

“Behind the scenes they were very prompt and professional, very easy to deal with (no egos), polite and easy going. On stage, without question the best covers band I have ever seen and heard. I have worked as a musician, technician, promoter and stage manager for nearly 30 years. I have managed rehearsal rooms and worked and toured with many known and unknown artists, 100's if not 1,000's of acts so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to ability and performance. In terms of how they sounded they are faultless, people came out of a venue local to the outdoor stage convinced that the live music must have finished and we were playing a CD through the PA until they saw ‘Riser' playing the songs for real. Top musicians, great vocals, and really knew how to work the crowd. To explain the background a bit, We are a small seaside town which is used to having the usual party bands at these events. You know the ones; line up like the Commitments and sing 'Mustang Sally' and 'Supers...”
