I truly can not recommend Central Avenue Band enough OMG…. Utterly utterly amazing. The dance floor was full from the moment they started. Beyond professional but also the greatest fun… you certainly will be contacted by many of my guests for booking for them. Thank you for making my 60th birthday so special and memorable Debz x

The Groovemores played our wedding in May. We had their 4 piece line up with DJ, singer, bongos and sax. It was hard to find a band that could provide exactly what we wanted at an affordable price and this is exactly what The Groovmores delivered! Up to the day, Paul was great with communication and listened to exactly what we wanted / didn’t want. Paul and Alex preformed our first dance song, with Paul playing the guitar. This was a beautiful cover and an extra special touch for our wedding day! They had almost all of the guests (even the oldies) up and dancing all night! All the musicians got out onto the dance floor and brought the party vibes. Chris on the sax was outstanding, everyone was asking how we knew him because he got so involved with the crowd (we didn’t know him haha). They were efficient with their setting up and packing away. Everything was great from start to finish! We are so pleased we booked The Groovemores and would definitely recommend them ⭐️

Mega. Absolutely what we were after. Timings throughout the night slipped and the team's flexibility and adaptability was faultless. Music choice was perfect for the evening and the performance was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Would recommend and would book again. Thank you.

Re-release were an absolutely fantastic band! From their song list, we picked our favourites, and they put together a crowd-pleasing set that felt totally unique to us. The music had everyone up and dancing all night. They also went above and beyond to make the evening feel personal and special. We booked the additional song extra and they turned it into such a memorable moment for us. If you’re looking for a band that will get the party going and make your night unforgettable, we can recommend Re-release!

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Eccentric at our Christmas Party, and they were nothing short of spectacular. From the first conversation, their communication was prompt and friendly, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day. They arrived in plenty of time to set up and their performance was phenomenal - energising the crowd and creating a fantastic party atmosphere. To top it all off, they wrapped up the night with a superb DJ set that kept everyone dancing. We couldn’t have asked for a better band and we’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a brilliant, professional, and versatile entertainment experience. Big thanks to Jimmy and the team :) Cheers, BBP

Superb communication with Mark, the band were on location and set up in time for our NYE event. Guests at the event were extremely pleased with the quality of the bands performance and range of music. The band have assisted our venue committee with feedback for us as hosts which will be considered for events moving forward. Overall absolutely fantastic NYE evening aided by the excellent work of Groove Collider..thanks guys.

I worked with Eccentric Pony on a wedding where I was the wedding planner. I must say keeping in touch and coordinating with James was really easy. He is responsive and amiable. The day-of the band arrived in time, done the set-up very smoothly without making themselves noticed, and last but not least has done a brilliant job at entertaining the crowd. I would definitely recommend working with them!

The Voltaires played for our wedding in November. Leading up to the day they were easy to contact, and when with two weeks notice we asked to change our first dance to die with a smile, because I had just heard it on the radio, they were very flexible and agreed to learn it. On the day they performed a beautiful version that still gives me goosebumps when I watch the video. Our guests loved them and the dancefloor was busy all night. Beyond this they are a really friendly group of guys, very professional, quick to respond to queries and very likeable. We would not hesitate to recommend them, The Voltaires are better live than any videos can portray and they exceeded our expectations. Thank you for making our wedding reception so memorable.

Where do I even begin?! We had the absolute pleasure of having this incredible duo perform at my wife’s 40th birthday celebrations, and they completely blew us away. Their talent and ability to connect with our guests in an intimate setting was unmatched—from their beautiful acoustic sets to seamlessly transitioning into energetic electric guitar anthems that had everyone up and dancing from start to finish! On top of their amazing musical skills, their warm personalities, beautiful energy, and willingness to accommodate made the entire experience even more memorable. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved the music. They made our celebration unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better performance. We highly recommend them for any event. Not only are they outstanding musicians, but they are also truly wonderful people. Thank you, Georgia and Michael!

Great audience engagement, superb instrument playing and banging vocals, I couldn't have asked for a better band to share our special (wedding) day with. I would highly recommend them! Thank you to each and every one of you! x
