Barbara A booked Effigy for their event

“We booked Effigy without hearing them play (apart from samples on Alive web site) but what a Fantastic Band!

Ian contacted us before the wedding to ask about the repertoire and on the day the band set up with no fuss. Our Caterers and Marquee manager commented that they were really polite. Ian and the lads were absolutely superb, and had our daughter and son-in-laws reception guests on their feet from the first dance, which incidentally they hadn't heard of before, but learnt especially for them (Adele's version of Bob Dylans - Make you feel my love). So accommodating, really friendly and polite - we can't give them enough compliments. They played 3 x 45min sets, together with DJ between, and kept the same energy up all the time. Their 'Beatles' medley was superb, as were all their covers, and it goes without saying that their version of Oasis, Killers etc was practically as good as the originals. They had the reception rocking. They finished on 'I predict a riot' which almost brought the marquee down (not literally) and then treated the guests to an encore of 'Champagne Supernova' - brilliantly superb. Please pass on our grateful thanks to Ian and crew. If there was such a thing it would be 10 out of 10 WE WILL BOOK AGAIN!! (Just need an event to celebrate!!)” Read more

“What a privilege to have this amazing band play at my husbands 50th birthday party. The Heat played a wonderful mix of both old and new and by the end of the night the band had everyone on their feet dancing and having a great time.

I would like to say how much we appreciated you being so accommodating with your set times due to the unexpected, yet wonderful weather and say how truly fantastic the music was!!!. The piano solo session you performed worked beautifully for the very relaxed and happy atmosphere as guests arrived and later as they sat for the wedding breakfast and the band in the evening were brilliant. I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty? We had some wonderful comments about you and I hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did. I wouldn’t have any hesitation on recommending you to any future brides to be!!!. Thank you for sharing our special day with us. ” Read more

Live Wires played at our wedding in March and arrived on time, were very polite and made every effort to ensure we were having a great time. They managed to set up in such a professional manner that we hardly knew they were there, despite the venue being a large open plan marquee. They were considerate to our needs and our guests and the music reflected this. We provided a list of our favourite songs from the playlist but left the music choice thereon for Live Wires to play and they really adapted each song to the mood of our guests. We have had so many comments from our guests both on our wedding day and after, saying that Live Wires were the best live band that they had ever heard at a wedding (some of our guests having been to hundreds of other weddings) and wanting to know their playlist. The dance floor was packed all night and we have never seen so many people up dancing at a wedding for such a long period. We want to thank the band for their amazing performance and we wish them every success in the future. Rebecca and Mark ” Read more
