We can’t tell you enough how good the band were in all aspects! Proper legends! So many people were asking who they were etc. One bloke who always criticizes bands (as he’s in one) loved it and couldn’t stop... Think they will be getting a lot of attention from this event. Thanks again for all your help and to the band for absolutely nailing it! Think the venue may put recommendations through to other couples as they did that good a job! - Sam & Phil x

Hi to our favourite ever party band! We would like to say a massive thank you to you all for your performance at our wedding - everyone commented on how great you were and it was the perfect party vibe. Especially thank you so much for learning the Neil Diamond number - it means a lot to us and as you saw, it's also a great crowd pleaser! Your version was spot-on...fantastic work guys. Anyone planning a wedding needs to book you! Thanks again for making the party amazing - you rock, literally 😉 - Jody & Alex

Customer questions

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

Yes - AJ is the life and soul of our band so we do not perform without him! Our show relies heavily on our friendship and onstage rapport so we will rarely take bookings unless all the regular musicians are available - however we do have pre-auditioned 'deps' available in the case a band member falls ill.

Do you have different line-up options?

Keiko Rise only perform as a 4-piece band - our lineup is as follows: Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums. We have been known to welcome a (prearranged) musical partygoer up for a jam on a song though - in the past year we've had a bride guest on drums and a groom on lead guitar!

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.

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

We are happy for you to play your own playlists during the breaks and for up to 1 hour after our final set (latest finish 12am), free of charge. We don't offer a DJ service but if you'd like to carry on the party a bit longer we're happy to stay and run your disco playlist through the PA until 1am, for which there is an additional charge of £100.

How much time do you need to set up?

We need 2 hours to set up (including a 30 mins soundcheck) before the main performance time - this can be split into two sessions if necessary. As soon as our PA is set up you're welcome to put on your own playlists to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

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

When you book Keiko Rise you're welcome to choose the songs you would like us to play (or avoid!) from our repertoire. We'll then build our setlist of other suitable songs around your requests to give the show good balance and flow for the evening - guaranteeing the night is tailored to you and your guests.

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

We supply all our professional standard equipment and lighting needed for the show included in the price. ‘Running Around’ is an important part of the show so the band need a performance space a minimum of 6m wide by 4m deep (but 10m x 5m would be ideal). A raised stage is appreciated but not a requirement.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our repertoire list there may still be a chance we already know it so please do ask. We are happy to learn either your First Dance or another special request free of charge.
