Latest reviews of our Birthday Party Party Bands
"We originally watched The Brightsides in Stafford and they were amazing. For my official farewell from.the Army, I knew I had to have them play at my function. They did not disappoint again. Brilliant music, brilliant voices and went on past their alloted time even though we were running late. Can't wait to see them again."

Tasha hired Backstreet Noise - Pop Goes Punk Party Band! for a Wedding
"The Supershakers we're an amazing addition to our party and were very adaptable to our last minute changes and delays. They did an acoustic set considering we had some noise limits in our venue and it was perfect for our guests. Dan was very communicative and helpful with set up and take down of the equipment. Would absolutely reccommend hiring them for your next party! "

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any party band play my favourite song?

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our party bands are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our party bands will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
