Latest reviews of our Entertainers in Greater Manchester
"What a brilliant evening! A huge thank you to ABBA ATTACK for bringing such an awesome evening of music to Osberton International Horse Trials 2024. From start to finish, the group were exceptionally professional to work with. They arrived with plenty of time to spare, set up their own kit and performed banger after banger live for our audience. Totally self sufficient and easy to work with. The level of showmanship/musical talent on display was also absolutely top drawer. Our audience absolutely loved the evening and we will 100% refer/book again. Thank you again and wishing you a brilliant end to 2024."

"Wow, what can I say… Guacamaya were absolutely incredible!!! We absolutely loved every part of working with this band! Jose was not only amazingly professional but willing to go the extra mile to learn some songs we really wanted to be included. My Nigerian husband loves Afrobeats particularly Fela Kuti and my gosh they delivered and then some. Singing some songs in Yoruba and Igbo… unreal. They also incorporated some Caribbean tunes to represent my heritage, our families were thrilled! Seeing our parents and elders up dancing and living in the moment was the best! All the band members were lovely and made a point of coming to introduce themselves and then some were able to stay on for food and enjoy some of our DJ set. I can honestly say the band was the second highlight to our day, getting married comes first of course lol! Can’t wait to arrange another event just so I can book them again!! "

"From the first communication we had to the end of their set on our wedding day, that 80s thing absolutely smashed it for us! A top bunch of blokes who kept the dance floor full and the atmosphere alive into the night. Ian was fab at keeping in touch and they were such professionals the night went smooth as butter! We honestly can’t recommend them enough, all of my guests commented about how good they were and finishing with the 500 miles love conga was ace! There’s not enough stars on this app for me to award! These guys are not just another wedding band, they really elevated our day so if you’re looking for a proper class act for your wedding/event/or whatever, book these guys! Thanks That 80s thing, you were fantastic👍💖 Carla & Luke"

FAQs about hiring Entertainers in Greater Manchester
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
How to entertain adults at a party?
Live music is the best choice for party entertainment as it’s vibrant and versatile.

Live performances in general engage audiences in a way that recorded or pre-scripted entertainment cannot. The interaction between performers and the audience adds a dynamic and personal element to the event. Similarly, the excitement and energy generated by live musicians is unmatched by other entertainers.
