We booked this band for our evening wedding party and we also booked their guitarist Tom to play through the wedding breakfast. He was an unbelievable solo performer and really set the tone for the day. The band are all incredibly talented musicians and the singer was amazing. We're really glad that we booked these for our special day. I would definitely recommend them!

We booked Inner City 3 for an evening at our pub and they went down very well with our customers. They are a very friendly band and the set they played was really upbeat with a great variety of different songs. We will definitely be having them back!

Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-audititioned back-up musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything to us so you can be confident that all of our performers are of a very high standard.

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes, we do. Our standard line up is a vocalist, guitarist and drummer, although there are options to add a pianist, saxophonist, trumpet player, bassist or additional singer if the client requires. An acoustic or upbeat duo is a popular option that we can provide which includes a vocalist and guitarist (or pianist).

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, this can be provided. Please let us know on enquiry if this is required and how long for. If you have any song requests, please be sure to let us know so that we can add these in for you.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. If you need us to set up prior to this please make us aware.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Yes of course! This is not a problem. Please let us know in plenty of time before the event.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes, PA and lighting is included in our quote. Please confirm if lighting is required beforehand.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you providing we have enough time. Depending on the song choice there may be a fee for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc. Although we are happy to discuss this with you.
