Squid Lips' Reviews

5 out of 5

We booked Squid lips to perform at our ‘day after party’ which we did at Hotel du Lac in Montriond last Sunday. Kinsey was so helpful in the run up - he also took the time to make sure he knew exactly what kind of vibe we wanted for the day. Not only are they all very talented musicians but they are so much fun to have around! They played a great set whilst our guests were eating/drinking/getting over their hangovers from the night before, then they notched it up afterwards and really got the party started again. Not only did we love the performance but our whole party was up dancing and singing along. They were so accommodating to our requests, seriously entertaining and just lovely people! We cannot wait to see them again soon and wouldn't hesitate to book them in the future. Thank you so much Squid Lips for being part of our special weekend xxx

Having experienced the amazing Squidlips Band while on a ski holiday we asked them if they would play at our wedding in deepest Essex. They worked hard to understand all we needed and desired. They guided us expertly through the equipment requirements and offered great advice. They even rejigged a hallowed Beatles song in very little time which sounded amazing for our walk back down the aisle! Their talent is stunning and they had everyone up dancing from the moment they started playing. Just fantastic!! Highly HIGHLY recommend you ask them to play at your function, you and your guests will LOVE them!!

Customer questions

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

Yes... our main lead male vocalist is the singer you will see on your event.

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes... beginning with a 3pc and going up to 6pc our different options mean we can fit into different spaces and budgets.

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

Keep in touch with any changes and we are always flexible all the way up to and including the event day.

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

Absolutely. We have great DJ software which means our DJ sets are all professionally linked. We also take requests for this both pre-event and during the sets.

How much time do you need to set up?

Usual around 1 to 1.5 hours depending on access.

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

We love taking your requests, and this can be from our repertoire lists or just from your own favourites. We do our very best to play what you want to hear! We also adapt our sets to suit the vibe as an event progresses.

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

We have only the best sound & lighting equipment and take a lot of pride in our sound; its high quality. We also work alongside production companies on larger events as required.

Can you learn song requests before the event?
