We want a packed dance floor all night long. Is your setlist right for our guests?

Absolutely! We are specialists in floor-filling entertainment. Our setlist is carefully curated to appeal to all ages, featuring massive hits from the 60s right through to the current charts. From the soul of Stevie Wonder and the rock ‘n’ roll of Queen to the indie-pop anthems of The Killers and modern chart-toppers like Harry Styles - we bring a high-octane, ‘main stage’ energy that is guaranteed to keep your dance floor full from the first note to the final encore.

Which areas of South Wales and the West of England do you cover?

All of it! We are the premier choice for weddings and events across Cardiff, Swansea and the wider South Wales region. We are also frequent visitors to luxury venues in Bristol, Somerset and Gloucestershire. Our standard guide price covers travel within 30 miles of our base, but we are always happy to travel further afield to bring the party to you!

Our venue has a sound limiter. Can a high-energy band still perform?

Yes, without a problem. We are experienced professionals and perform at venues with sound limiters very regularly. We use high-quality equipment and can adapt our performance style (including using electronic drums if necessary) to stay within the venue’s requirements while keeping the atmosphere electric. We’ve worked with almost every major venue in Cardiff, Bristol and surrounding areas, so we likely already know your venue's specific setup.

Can we choose the setlist and request a specific First Dance?

We want the music to reflect your personality. We will learn one special request - usually your First Dance - completely free of charge. For the rest of the evening, you are welcome to highlight your absolute favourites from our repertoire. We then use our years of experience to read the room and mix those choices with our tried-and-tested floor-fillers to ensure the energy never drops.

What is 'Bandeoke', and do you provide a DJ service too?

We offer an incredibly popular Bandeoke (Live Band Karaoke) upgrade! It’s your chance to grab the mic and front a professional live band - a guaranteed highlight for any party. Alongside our live sets, we provide a personalised DJ service as standard (a bespoke playlist of party hits) so the music never stops. For a more interactive experience, you can also upgrade to our 'Manned DJ' service where a band member takes requests live on the night.

Technical Requirements (Space, Power & Setup)

  • Setup Time: We require approximately 90 minutes to load in and soundcheck.
  • Space: We ideally need a performance area of at least 2.5m x 5m.
  • Power: We require a minimum of 2 x standard 13-amp sockets.
  • Peace of Mind: We provide a professional PA system and lighting rig. All equipment is fully PAT tested and we carry £5m Public Liability Insurance (PLI) as required by premium venues.
