The KMB
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"I honestly cant speak highly enough of Kane and The KMB, and Encore in general. From the first moment I reached out to the band, Kane was impressively quick and detailed with his responses, which was reassuring. Then came the performance... Music plays a massive part in mine and my friends lives so finding a band that fit the bill for our wedding was very important. The KMB were simply amazing and every time I speak to anyone about the wedding, they bring up the band. Kane's voice is as good as it comes across on the videos, which is very rarely the case. He also worked the crowd incredibly well and managed to keep the dancefloor full all night. I cannot recommend them highly enough and am aware that ive used a lot of superlatives in this review...none of which come close to doing g them justice! Book them and I promise you wont be disappointed"

"Truly exceptional experience from start to finish when he catered for our ball. Early communication from Kane allowed us to establish what songs we wanted and he was able to cater to everything. Arrived with all the kit and equipment required for a great quality performance taking a lot of stress from me who had to organise all the entertainment. When it came to perform on the night it was excellent. Musicians were top of their craft and Kane's voice is spectacular. Crown engagement from the first set got everyone onto the dance floor. The final set was best of them all, involving on the fly remixing and integration of songs we wanted as well as Kane dancing whilst singing on the dance floor with the crowd. The videos don't do full justice to what the band can do when they get going. Every bit of feedback we received after the ball was praising Kane and his band. Thanks again for performing at our ball."
