Dawn S booked The Substitutes for their event in West Midlands • February 2026
“I booked The Substitutes for my husband's 65th birthday in our local pub and they were amazing. They've got a great selection of music in their sets and because my husband is a mad Stevie Wonder fan they added an extra song in for me into their 1st set. Highly recommend, great bunch of lads, very professional and great musicians. Don't hesitate to book them, you won't be disappointed.”

“Could not have been better, so friendly and professional”

Michael S booked Flair for their event • January 2026

Their ability to scale from a 4-piece lineup to a full 12-piece band with brass means they can perfectly match the size and style of the event. The musicianship is exceptional and the setlist is packed with crowd favourites. They bring the polish of a premium showband but with the fun and flexibility ...”
13 years later they were even better :)
Mark L booked Hipster for their party in Berkshire • January 2026
“Hipster were our wedding band back in 2013 and we had the most amazing night. Last night they performed for us again at my wife’s 50th and they were beyond amazing! - All our quests are still raving about them too and how they helped make the night(s) unforgettable.”
