Party band
Ammanford
Public liability insurance of £3 million

Sugar Coat is a modern four-piece wedding and party band delivering high-energy live music for couples and event planners across South Wales and the South West, including Cardiff, Swansea, Bristol, Bath and Hereford. Formed by experienced professional musicians who live for performance, the band combines powerhouse female and male vocals, tight harmonies and a slick, contemporary sound that fills dance floors from the first chorus to the final encore. What sets Sugar Coat apart is versatility and taste. The set moves effortlessly from nostalgic singalongs to current chart bangers, always timed to keep the room buzzing. Expect party anthems like We Found Love, Freed From Desire and Footloose, feel-good favourites such as Mamma Mia, I Wanna Dance With Somebody and Mr Brightside, plus rock and indie crowd-pleasers from AC/DC, The Killers and Paramore. The band reads the room, switches gears when needed and builds the night with real momentum, so every guest finds a reason to dance. Professionalism runs through everything. Sugar Coat arrives early, coordinates with your venue or planner and keeps the schedule smooth and stress free. The most requested format is two sixty-minute sets, although three forty-five-minute sets are also available. A curated playlist DJ service is included between live sets so the energy never drops, and a manned DJ upgrade is available if you want on-the-night requests. Every booking includes two custom song requests, perfect for a first dance or a special track that means the world to you. Sound and presentation are top tier. The band supplies a high-quality, self-contained PA and stylish stage lighting that suits everything from rustic barns to modern hotels. Sugar Coat is venue friendly, with a compact footprint and an electric drum kit option for spaces with noise limiters or tighter sound requirements. All equipment is PAT tested and the band holds full public liability insurance, giving venues and clients complete peace of mind. Travel is simple and transparent. Based in Swansea, Sugar Coat performs across the region and beyond. Quotes include all the essentials, and the team is happy to advise on logistics, access and timings so setup and soundcheck are efficient and discreet. The goal is always the same: make your evening feel effortless on your side and unforgettable for your guests. Planning should be enjoyable, not overwhelming. Sugar Coat keeps communication clear, helps shape a running order that suits your venue and timeline and tailors the setlist to your taste. If there are must-play songs, they go in. If there are tracks you would rather avoid, they stay out. From romantic moments to late-night bangers, your night sounds like you. If you are looking for a band that looks the part, sounds incredible and cares about the details, Sugar Coat is ready to bring the music, the energy and the memories. Check availability, tell the team about your plans and get ready for a packed dance floor and a party your guests will talk about for years.

We booked Sugar Coat for our evening reception and they absolutely made the night. They took our song preferences on board and avoided a couple we asked to skip, which made it feel personal to us. The band arrived early, worked quietly with the venue, and started right on time. Every song was a singalong and the last hour was pure joy. Professional, friendly, and so talented. My mam, my nan, and my friends were all dancing together. Diolch yn fawr, Sugar Coat, you were amazing.

Sugar Coat were phenomenal at our wedding. Communication was clear from day one and they learned our first dance perfectly. The sound was crystal clear and they handled our venue’s noise limiter with ease using their electric kit. The setlist had something for everyone and the dance floor was full all night. Guests are still talking about the energy and the vocals. The playlist between sets kept the vibe going and the changeovers were seamless. If you want a stress free experience and a packed dance floor!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

That the dance floor stays full. Big vocals, tight harmonies, and smart set flow - mixing modern hits with classics and reading the room in real time. Friendly, on time, and limiter-friendly (electric kit), so the night feels effortless and the energy never dips.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

We’re a merged team from two of South Wales’ busiest function bands—there are only a handful of venues we haven’t played. Hotels, barns and manors across Cardiff, Swansea, Bristol, Bath and Hereford, from city ballrooms to rustic barns, with and without noise limiters.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Vocally: Whitney Houston and Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac. Pop and dance: Dua Lipa, Rihanna, David Guetta. Rock/indie: AC/DC, Foo Fighters, The Killers, Paramore. Soul/funk: Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire. That blend drives singalongs and club-level energy.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

A private event for a well-known celebrity client. Discretion means we can’t name them here, but happy to share details in person. Between us we’ve also performed at the Royal Albert Hall and had national radio airplay.

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

Yes. You’ll get the same lead vocalist as in our promotional videos. Only genuine illness/emergency would require an equivalent dep, and we’d inform you immediately.

Do you have different line-up options?

We’re a tight four-piece by design. Rather than lots of add-ons, we focus on one thing: delivering a brilliant evening party band. If you need something specific (e.g. an acoustic set), ask and we’ll advise.

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

We’re flexible. Your booking covers our on-site time window. If your schedule shifts within that window, no problem. Need earlier arrival or a late finish? We can usually accommodate for a small fee - just keep us posted.

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

Absolutely. A curated playlist runs before we start and between sets, tailored to your taste. Send requests and we’ll include them. A manned DJ upgrade is available if you’d like live mixing and on-the-night requests.

How much time do you need to set up?

Around 60 minutes from load-in to soundcheck (often quicker with easy access). We set up neatly and keep soundcheck volume sensible for your venue.

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

Please share your must-plays and any “please don’t” songs. We’ll build the set to suit and read the room on the night to keep the floor full. We may adjust the order live to maintain momentum.

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

Yes. Pro PA, stage lighting and backline are included. We’re PAT tested, insured, and have an electric drum kit option for venues with noise limiters.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We include one special request (usually your first dance) at no extra cost. Our arrangements are fully produced, so additional new songs require programming and rehearsal—happy to quote if you’d like more.
