Louis and Tom from Inner City 3 played as a vocal duet at our wedding and delighted our guests. Their performance was excellent, creating a perfect relaxed and warm atmosphere. Despite a relatively late booking, they were flexible and accommodating, with excellent communication and a personal approach. Highly recommended.

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!

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.
