Exceptional from beginning to end. Communication was clear, and they handled everything at the venue effortlessly. Most importantly, they kept the dance floor full the entire time. I can’t recommend them enough—thank you!

The Trends were absolutely brilliant. Good contact before hand to arrange first dance song and were happy to accommodate all our requests for the set list and having my brother (who's also a singer) join in. They sounded fantastic and had such great energy. So much I didnt leave the dance floor! She is an incredible vocalist and the whole band is very professional. Had many compliments from the guests.

I booked The Trends to play at my son's wedding party. A great band who played two fantastic crowd-pleasing sets. I'd recommend this group to anyone, they were also a real pleasure to deal with. Best of luck in the future, hopefully I'll see you again somewhere. Many thanks, Phil.

Better than we could have ever hoped for. The Trends, from start to finish were the ultimate professionals. Everything was executed perfectly, from the organising and planning to the big night. I couldn't recommend anyone more! We'll see you on the circuit guys!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The energy the band bring to the party or event, we strive to be a show and not just another cover band, we mix things up and stay unexpected by steering away from the usual songs in favour of those ones that make you go "oh yeah! this is a banger! I'd forgotten all about this one".

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

The list is endless... far too many to count, although we do have a google map with all our pins dotted all over the globe, contact us if you'd like to see it.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

The simple answer is... popular music from the 60's onwards, again the list would be never ending, we particularly like anything funky but we are not limited with our influences to any specific genre.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

We've performed at a lot of high profile international events, one of our favourite groups to work with is Celebrity Cruises.

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-audititioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our base line-up is as follows: Standard 4 piece: Lead Vocals, Guitar, Bass & Drums. We also have extra musicians available such as Sax, Trumpet, Percussion & Additional Vocalists!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. Included in Wedding bookings we offer this service for free up to the last band set (11pm latest). If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide DJ set options starting from £300

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

We don’t usually write a set in advance, much like a great DJ we change set lists on the fly and performances are crafted from countless events & learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Our PA and basic lighting system is included in your quote. We usually require a minimum of 3mx4m space to perform. Additional PRO party lighting hire packages are also available starting from £250

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. For weddings we will learn a first dance free of charge, for all other requests there is a fee of £150 for this service to take into account rehearsal time outside of our schedule.
