Function band
Bristol
Public liability insurance of £1 million

Live music is pure joy. Put the cherry on top of your day with a slick and classy function band – one that will prepare for your event with the love and care it deserves. Gigs in Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Somerset and South Wales. WHAT DO WE OFFER? We're a four piece indie/pop cover band – and that's not all. As classically-trained musicians, we can offer romantic solo and duet performances including cello, violin and piano – perfect . Looking for something specific? Just ask. WHO ARE WE? Matt | Lead vocals, guitar Mark | Vocals, keys, | Violin, piano Sam | Bass, backing vocals | Cello Patrick | Drums, percussion, backing vocals Matt and Mark grew up in the southwest and have been best friends since the age of 5. Matt went to drama school in Liverpool, while Mark studied music in Cardiff – that’s where he met Sam and Patrick. The three lived together for two years – and yes, we played a lot of music together. Eventually all of us found our way to the Bath/Bristol area, with ambitions to form a band that would bring people pure joy. We’re the closest friends and you can sense our love in every note we play. In July 2021, Mark married Ollie – Matt was Best Man and Sam and Patrick were his groomsmen. That was when we made our debut, performing as the sun went down over a cloudless day, surrounded by family and friends. WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? We’re not satisfied with satisfactory – we aim to nail it every time. That’s why we’ll sit down with you to understand exactly what songs you want to hear, what vibe you’re looking for, and what you love about music. We’ll prepare your set with the utmost care and craftsmanship. On the day, we’ll be prompt, professional and self-sufficient, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. We’ll inject you’re event with the buzz that only the best function bands can bring. Put simply: we’ll be your cherry on top.

These guys were absolutely amazing!!! We requested songs for our ceremony which they learnt and made their own. We honestly had SO many comments from guests about how brilliant the band was and how professional they seemed. We weren’t sure at first about whether we wanted live music, but honestly we made the right call having these boys perform. Live music vs a cd / iPod plugged in - there really is no comparison! Set up was quick and non-obstructive, they gave 100% then packed up with no issues I cannot recommend them enough! 10 out of 10

Having these guys perform at our wedding seriously made the day perfect. They sounded so good and it was just so special having live musicians there. I would recommend All The Groom’s Men to ANYONE in need of a wedding band - so worth it!!! Great communication and on the day all went smoothly. Can’t thank these lads enough!
