"The Dollars played at our wedding in October 2010 in North Yorkshire. Prior to the wedding, we both spoke with the band to discuss the playlist and also the logistics of arriving and setting up at the hotel reception venue.
The Dollars were very accommodating in arriving much earlier than we had originally thought necessary and were very professional in setting up.
In terms of their performance, the Dollars were absolutely outstanding. The age of our guests ranged from 5 months to 85 and yet nearly everyone came on for a dance and this was directly a result of the amazing performance and great playlist of the band.
Most of the guests specifically complimented the band and wanted to know how they could be booked for other occasions. The band was so great that we actually had guests from another wedding reception sneaking in to our room! Overall, I could not fault the Dollars and cannot recommend them highly enough."

Wishing you tuned skins, no snapped strings & no sore throats for the rest of your playing days!" - Vicky & Chris Raven
Introducing The Dollars… A 4-piece all male band based in the Nottinghamshire area. What Have They Done Before? Since forming in 2007, highly skilled and versatile musicians The Dollars, have gained extensive experience when it comes to performing on stage. Specialising in weddings, private parties and corporate events, The Dollars are the perfect choice for any event.
Previous clients include Barclaycard, Best Western Hotels, MoneySupermarket.com, British Army, RAF, Durham University, Hampton Court Palace, Kenilworth Castle, Kettering Conference Centre, Kingswood Golf & Country Club, Marriott Hotels, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Riply Castle plus many more weddings and private functions.
"Firstly if you're thinking of booking this band DO IT NOW- if you wait until you've read this someone else may get in before you!
Unanimous feeling is that The Dollars were the high point of the day. Generally sensible and upstanding people were seen to be dancing wildly on the floor and harassing the band for an encore- I think The Dollars would have been requested to play through to morning light had the venue not been residential!" – Cormac Farrell
What Sort Of Music They Play? Their shows are lively, exciting and varied to suit every guest. Their set list is suitable for all tastes; anything from classic artists like The Beatles, The Kinks and Rolling Stones right up to modern bands Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and The Killers …plus many more (see set list).
"I will try and tell you how good the Dollars we’re on our special day but it won’t be easy to put into words!!!! My guest book comments include how fantastic the day, party and band were, the quality of the band are the first thing most people say to me when recollecting the day/evening!!" - Matt Goodchild
What Will The Band Look Like? The Dollars always dress appropriately for the occasion. For weddings and corporate events they can dress formally, suited and booted, and for less formal events The Dollars can dress more casually if you prefer. Just specify your needs to your booking agent.
"WOW! The amount of guests who came up to us during the evening asking about you just showed how much everyone loved your music. I even missed speaking to some guests because my feet just wouldn't let me leave the dance floor!" - A very happy, Mr & Mrs Price
Your Event? The Dollars live sets can be performed as 2 x 45 minutes, 2 x 60 minutes or 3 x 40 minutes. The band will be flexible on the night to adapt to your event.
The band can also provide music between sets so there is no break once the party has started. If you’d prefer, The Dollars can provide a DJ service which includes:
* Manned laptop with large selection of popular songs * DJ software that allows seamless track play * Requests taken * Basic announcements made over the mic
The Dollars are a 4 piece band and preferably need a stage space of 5 x 4 metres but will accommodate whatever space is available. They are also more than happy to adjust volume levels to suit your venues requirements.
Superior Equipment The Dollars always bring a top spec, top sounding 3.5k RCF PA system along to every show, suitable for up to 300-400 guests. They also have their own self contained lighting system of; 8 x LED par cans to light the stage and 4 x 360° multi-coloured moving heads to cover the dance floor. Both lighting systems operate sound-to-light and provide full built in dynamic shows for an enhanced visual experience.
In addition to this, other pro equipment they use includes Shure and Sennheiser vocal/instrument mics, wireless in-ear monitors for each band member (for minimal stage noise), Gibson, Fender, PRS, Warrick and Taylor guitars, a Pearl Masters drum kit, Marshall and Ashdown valve amplification. Ensuring sound quality is second to none, everything is connected to a 16 Channel Allen & Heath Mixing desk for a crisp, high quality and powerful sound with plenty of control. Sound quality is further enhanced by running vocals and instruments through Drawmer compressors/noise gates and a Yamaha 32 band EQ. The band have invested heavily to ensure you get the best possible tone at your event.
Acoustic Set (see booking options for more details) In addition to their standard performances, The Dollars can perform a laid back acoustic set to create a chilled atmosphere, perfect for drinks receptions or during dinner.

"I would just like to provide some feedback on The Dollars who performed at our awards nights on the 6th and the 20th November.
I have had nothing but praise from all our employees, their range of songs covered all the age groups present. They are cracking set of guy’s, great musicians and a credit to Alive Network.
I will definitely recommend them to anyone, and we will be using them again.
Thanks Matt and the boys you did me proud.
Kind Regards
Chris Murray"

"Fantastic from start to finish. Excellent service, no matter how many silly questions there is always someone happy to help and replying to your email or phone call within an hour or so. Other companies made me wait for days for just a quote!
Booking The Dollars was so important as it was to set the scene and the atmosphere of our wedding day for our evening guests who hadn't experienced the whole affair-truly exceeded all of our expectations!
Thank you!

"To Matt and the Dollars,
Just wanted to thank you for such a brilliant set on Friday 1st October at Ringwood Hall in Sheffield. We had less night guests than we had anticipated due to the weather etc., and I know the crowd took a while to get on the dancefloor, but everyone thought you guys were fantastic.
We watched the video back on Saturday night, and even people sat down were smiling their heads off to the different song being played. I've videoed and edited wedding videos for friends before in the past, and the night part of the wedding is usually very boring, and end up being the bit people fast forward through. Ours is so entertaining, with track after track of cool rock songs, with various guests showboating their talents as the night went on :) Towards the end of the night we had most people on the dancefloor. It was a shame that you had to finish when you did, as I am sure everyone would have happily partied on into the small hours.
Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band. Not sure if we will ever require a band for another occasion, but if we do, I will be sure to drop you a line
Thanks again for making our wedding reception a night to remember for a long time for many, and a lifetime for us both
Kind Regards
John and Joanne Watford :)

"If we had to plan the wedding again, we would look no further than The Dollars - they were absolutely brilliant, one of the best bands I have heard and the music was just right for the (early 30's) wedding guests. Fantastic!"
Customer review by John Radford
23/09/2010 The Dollars
"Rob and I can’t thank you enough for your professionalism and help in the run up the wedding but nothing could have prepared us for how brilliant the band were at the wedding itself.
We had people of all ages there so wanted a band who would do everything from 60’s/70’s right up to present day music and I must say you did not disappoint. I have been to many weddings where it has taken people quite a while to get up on the dancefloor and get the party started but that certainly was not a problem at our wedding, people were on the dancefloor straight away and did not sit down until you had played your last song. We also used your DJ service which was also excellent and saved us a huge amount of time and money hiring a DJ in between your sets.
So many of our guests commented on how brilliant you all were and even asked for your contact details. Don’t worry I gave them your business card! One of my friends has already decided that she is definitely booking you for her wedding and she’s not even engaged yet.
I also have to say a huge personal thank you for allowing my husband to get up on stage and sing ‘Wild Thing’ with you at the end of the night. It is something that neither I nor any of our guests will ever forget. Amazing! Thank you so much for everything and for making our day even more fantastic than we could’ve ever imagined.
The Dollars are a very talented band with an extremely varied repertoire, and are very professional and easy to deal with too, so if you want your wedding or party to be one that people remember and talk about, do not hesitate to book The Dollars.

"Thanks so much for playing at our wedding with such professionalism, enthusiasm and enjoyment. Your play list and sound was spot on.
Guests of all ages commented how brilliant you were and many have taken your details, including the venue who said they'd be recommending you.
You were all polite and truly a pleasure to deal with. All the best for your future, hope we get to see and hear you again soon! "
