Wow,.we were fortunate to have the Solar Flares at my daughters wedding 18th November and we could not have been more pleased. Great communication, great set list provided prior for approval with all the usual party songs to get everyone up on their feet. Very impressed and we’ll be booking them again for our younger daughters 21st in April 24. Thanks Raphael and the rest of the band. Dave Bellis

Had a really good experience when we hired The Solar Flares to play at my wedding. They had everyone up and dancing and the singers both had amazing voices and really knew how to work the crowd. I would definitely recommend these guys. Really good! Jade x
