I cannot recommend The Word highly enough! 10/10 on every aspect. The theme for our gig was 'A Dance through the Decades' before an audience of 30-somethings through to 60-somethings. Nick, Rocco, and Andy seriously delivered on our theme, and these three (really nice) guys brilliantly played songs from some of the most iconic (four piece) bands of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s. One of the reasons I booked them was the incredibly wide range of their song list, and I was absolutely delighted with the band's flexibility in allowing me to choose the set lists that I knew would get the audience going (which they did in fine style). Communications through Nick were excellent through from initial booking to the event itself. These guys obviously love the music they are playing, and that came over to the audience, many of whom went up to the band after each set to thank them personally. The Word are seriously professional, and, looking at other similar bands on Encore, they also provide excellent value for money!!

Booked the guys for my 50th and they were FANTASTIC! Brilliant set list, pretty much the story of my life, and they seemed to play for ages. Great attention to detail and everybody loved them, had an amazing response from my guests. Thanks guys, it's the kind of party I always wanted to remember xx

We had 17 to 86 year olds and I can honestly say you had them all up dancing. The Word's performance brought them all together - it was quite incredible. The playlist you put together was perfect for the night. And the kids really appreciated mixing with the band in between sets. In my son's words - "it was the best night I've ever had" and, as for me, I can't wait to have the next party and book you again. Thanks again for your professionalism and such an electric performance. chris jones m d of the chris jones partnership
