What an amazing band - we used them for our recent wedding. We have received so many comments about how amazing the music was - the band are one of the best I have used in a while... They completely read the room right and made our wedding evening one to remember for a long time. Thank you from the new Mr and Mrs Shepherd

After a lot of research I came across Fan Club House Band and was very pleased to find they were also local to us. We booked them for our wedding gave them some examples of the type of instrumental music we wanted and a bit of a brief and they nailed it completely! It was such an incredible day, and they created the perfect vibe and atmosphere which is exactly what we wanted. I would definitely use them again and do plan to in the future. Thanks so much guys!

I'm so thrilled with the service Fan Club Jazz Band provided. From start to finish they made the whole process so simple. Communication was clear and made my job of running the event a lot easier. The performance was beautiful! We booked a quartet to play some instrumental background music, and they were incredible. So many guests mentioned to me how good they were. I will definitely be booking them again for future events. Can't recommend them enough. What a talented, professional group of musicians.

We were really happy with Fan Club House Band from start to finish. Their initial communication was excellent, and they arranged a set up for us which was perfect for our guests. They were really willing to listen to our needs and accommodate for our event. It was a house a party, and their vocals and their music were excellent and on point. They really judged the atmosphere very well. They created an atmosphere which was very chilled to begin with, and then later, as the evening progressed they cracked out some excellent dance numbers, which meant that our guests had a fabulous time. Our guests were raving about the event for weeks afterwards. They were really respectful in their set up and clean up of the house, and I would thoroughly recommend them for anybody who is looking to have a house party/intimate gathering as they were perfect. We will definitely hire them again. I 100% recommend Fan Club House Band and their members for your event needs.
