Absolutely brilliant, turned up on time! Played the best music, there live performance was spot on! I’m so happy we booked them, wouldn’t think twice on booking them again. They was so polite, lovely band x

The glory were brilliant, they got everyone dancing, compliments off so many of our guests. I understand the band themselves have nothing to do with communication, which wasn’t the best. Apart from that they are a fantastic band, would I book them again, most definitely 5 stars for performance.

Everybody loved the band - excellent highly recommend

1.3 out of 5

I don’t normally leave poor reviews, but… We were sorely dissatisfied for a number of reasons: -The singer turned up more than 30 mins late. - brought his children to sit in our wedding - didn’t play the songs we requested and mutually agreed on prior - didn’t use our Spotify playlist as requested and mutually agreed prior - Our guests were left without pizza as they ate it without asking We were left really disappointed as so much thought had gone into organising beforehand and none of it went to plan, despite them being reminded on the night to play the songs we had chosen. Both Encore and The Haze have been poor when I have complained directly.

I just wanted to send an email to say how brilliant The Glory were on Saturday night at our wedding. They really were amazing, everybody was dancing all night. So many people have commented on how good they were so thank you so much."  Andy Turner & Cheryl Thomas *****

Hello, just a quick note to say thank you for playing at our wedding on the 6th Aug. Everyone absolutely loved the music and we were thoroughly impressed with your professionalism. When the speeches ran over, and you had little time to set up and be ready for our evening guests. If we needed a band in the future, we would most definitely book you again."  Kareem Halil & Rhian Smith *****
