5 stars - Scatter The Mud are Highly Recommended
booked Scatter The Mud for their Wedding in West Sussex

“Scatter the Mud" were fantastic, the music was great, they did the perfect first dance for us whilst getting everyone involved with it. "Scatter the Mud" had people dancing for the whole time they were performing and had young and old dancing together. I couldn't have wished for a better band and would definitely recommend them.”

5 stars - Reels On Wheels are Highly Recommended
booked Reels On Wheels for their Wedding in Cambridgeshire

“Amazing!!! The band was superb. The songs were performed to the highest standard, and they were FUN. Our guests had an amazing time, and by the end, everyone was dancing. At one point, the band even called a miniature impromptu ceilidh dance: we don't know who initiated this, but it was a fantastic read of the crowd, who adored it. Again, we received so many compliments on the band.”

booked Sandpiper for their event

“Ben and his band provided a hell of a surprise party for my mum’s 60th! Their ability to integrate with our extended friends and family, both in terms of the ‘surprise’ moment, the food and the speeches was superb, and really meant we were able to make it personal to mum.

These guys were just fab

5 stars - Sandpiper are Highly Recommended
booked Sandpiper for their Wedding

“These guys were just fab as entertainment for our wedding day. When you have a mix of young, old and young at heart, it’s so hard to please everyone, but please everyone they did. With their infectious beats, comedic interludes and toe tapping tunes, Ben and co brought energy, fun and laughter to the dance-floor.
