The Upstarts - Everything we wanted and more
David B booked The Upstarts for their Wedding in Durham • May 2025
“The Upstarts were (and I can't stress this enough) AMAZING at our wedding day!!! They were great in the build up: We had a call with them a couple of months beforehand and went through our plan for the day, the style of music we like, some songs we wanted from their set list, and we were confident they were going to do a good job. But wow, they were way better than we had ever imagined, and our guests were blown away, everyone wanted to know where we had got them. Two sets perfectly pitched to the mood in the room, first a few oldies and rock and roll etc, and the second set was mainly some indie/punk rock that had the room jumping. Chris the lead singer was phenomenal, and the guitarist is amazingly talented, with some solos that had the whole room going crazy. They were really fun too, with plenty of engagement with the crowd. They made me and my bride feel like rockstars as well! Also huge credit to them because we were running late and they had to deal with the buffet overlapping ...”
Jade K booked The Upstarts for their Wedding in Merseyside • April 2025
“We honestly can’t thank The Upstarts enough for the incredible atmosphere they created at our wedding! From the first song to the last, the dancefloor was absolutely bouncing - it was never empty! The sound was amazing, the setlist was perfect, and their energy was infectious. So many of our guests said how brilliant the band was -they really made the night unforgettable. If you’re looking for a band that will get the party going and keep it going, look no further. The Upstarts were an absolute highlight of our day!”
Amazing band, taking our office party to the next level! Highly recommend!

“What can I say, the Upstarts were amazing! From the moment of booking we had fantastic communication with Jak who was incredibly helpful in the early stages ensuring he took the time to find out exactly what we were looking for from our party entertainment. All of the guys were really lovely guys, and we had so much positive feedback about the band after the event, they really are a talented group! Would 100% recommend them and would book them again in an instant!”
