Rob Radley and Karl Younger coordinated the initial project to help promote the cause #LetMusicPlay and support the industry at a difficult time. The final video of the #LockdownCovers series signals the start of another nationwide lockdown. We would like to showcase the hard work that went into this cover version by promoting it to the wider public and supporting the fantastic charity YoungMinds.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better band on our wedding day! Into the sun were so professional, so much fun, played all the songs we loved and even played an extra request at the end of the night. So many people made a point of telling us how much they’d enjoyed them! We danced all night, laughed, sang and had the best time. Thanks so much for being there guys, we loved having you. Alice and Harris xx

We had a great experience with the band last week, the music was fantastic and all our guests were very complimentary and it got everybody up and dancing. They were very accommodating for our unusual first dance choice and the music provided in the intervals was just what we asked for. The musicians were all friendly and seemed to be having a really good time which was great to see. Could not recommend more. Thanks! Isaac & Jane

Hi Jane, Thank you for the great review. We really enjoyed performing at your wedding. Performing NDUBZ was definitely a first for us and very nostalgic. All the best for the future and we will hopefully see you at an event in future. Sam x

We booked Luxe Glow Duo for our wedding celebration party on 13th July 2024 and weren’t disappointed. Rob is a brilliant singer and both him and his drummer Ryan helped create a great atmosphere with everyone up dancing. Would 100% recommend. Josie and Julian.

We cannot thank Into the Sun enough for making our wedding reception an unforgettable celebration! From the moment they started playing, they had everyone on their feet, dancing the night away. Their energy, talent, and versatility kept the party going, ensuring that the dance floor was packed all night long. We received countless compliments from our guests, and we couldn't agree more. They were more than happy to accommodate our first dance song which wasn't on their usual repertoire.
