Wow! Phil Short and The Headliners could not have been any better. Phil played an acoustic set for our wedding drinks reception, followed by the band playing in the evening. Everything went perfectly! Communication from the start was brilliant and their performances were amazing. They had everyone on the dancefloor across multiple generations. Brilliant band and great, friendly people. Could not recommend more! Thank you Phil and The Headliners.

Thanks so much for your lovely review, Tom & Amy! It was such a great day, in an amazing venue, with some awesome people! I'm so pleased you enjoyed everything we provided, and I'm really pleased we finally got our "Insta-Selfie" together!

If we could give more than 5 stars we would! The headliners played at our wedding at Little Channels on 09/09/21. Phil and the team did a cracking job. They were so professional, they sounded amazing and were just generally really lovely guys. It was a small wedding but they got all generations up on the dancefloor and even my new hubby (who I have never seen dance!) came up for a boogie! They listened perfectely to our very fussy muscial preferences and player our first dance beautifully. Phil also played solo for our outdoors drinks reception, he had great banter with the guests and again, sounded great. He was more than happy to 'surprise' the wedding guests by sneaking in the back of the ceremony room to play us ou

The Headliners played at our Silver Anniversary Party. They were absolutely brilliant and had all three generations on the dance floor for the whole evening. Many of our friends commented especially on what a great band it was. Well done!

We are back from our mini moon and I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for playing on our wedding day. Thanks for all the special things you did for us like learning the aisle song, creating the shorter edit of first dance song and the acoustic set outside. You were absolutely amazing and everyone has commented how good the band was. You made the day perfect! We couldn't have asked for more. We will absolutely recommend you guys to anyone and everyone. We had such a good day we are tempted to get married all over again just to do it again! Thanks so much

A massive thank you for Saturday night, it was a fantastic evening and we’ve had so many positive comments on how great the band were. The playlist was spot on and I think the majority of people were up dancing for the whole of the sets. Thank you so much for letting Mike play a couple of songs with you. I know he would have really loved that and we, as parents, are always so pleased to see him playing. You are a very ’tight’ band (I learned that phrase from Mike), very professional and very friendly and I’m sure you will have many bookings as a result of the evening. We had just the most perfect day, so thank you for helping to make it so special.
