“I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you to the band for everything they did at the weekend to make Francesca and Joey’s wedding run so smoothly. They were nothing short of awesome, even when dealing with the rouge microphone that wouldn’t play ball. Everyone was having such an amazing time when I left so I couldn’t say goodbye properly to them but it's safe to say, the dance floor was full and they were going down a storm!”

“From the groom, I just wanted to say how incredibly entertaining Sunny Side Up were. They made the wedding and exceeded all expectations. Firstly, their cover of Gypsy was mesmerising. It made the aisle walk that extra bit special. I thought the front man’s vocals were fantastic and a true rival to Stevie Nicks herself! I loved their cover of Send me on my way as we walked back up the aisle. I heard the crowd audibly sigh (in a good way) as they realised what the song choice really meant to us. The roaming set was lovely and maintained the energy during the photos and outside mingling. Their rendition of the first dance was spot on and I fell in love with that song all over again having heard it countless times during rehearsal! Having the guest join in at the end of the song I could see there wasn’t a single guest not dancing. The atmosphere was incredible and I was on an absolute high for the whole night after that. All members were so friendly and accommodating. I loved catching up with them in between sets and they were nice enough to allow us to do a couple of songs. I think the choice to have a few quirkier instruments really make the band stand out above the rest. They also fit the aesthetic of the barn wedding we had. I’ve had loads of comments saying how great they were. There might have even been a couple of Instagram follows after it! Great band, lovely guys. I can’t sing their praises enough.”

“Extending the biggest thank you to you all for creating such a fantastic and memorable experience at our joint 30th and 70th birthday party for Dmitri and Jit. You guys are an incredible talent, and you were exactly the right vibe for us. You even graciously allowed Uncle Collin up on stage for a song (he comes from a long line of Morris Dancers - hence the Accordion). That was such a treat! We cannot praise you enough. Thank you for being flexible with time and space. We'd love to call on you all again when we have our next big occasion. Until then, we wish you all a world of success.”

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest classic and current chart hits, so there's certainly something for everyone.

Do you take requests?

We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

How long do you take to set-up?

Up to 90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60 or 3 x 40-minute live sets in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed DJ service (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute roaming acoustic set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner. You can see a video sample of that set here.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is based on our 5-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Coventry. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2-hour drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's price includes a rider buyout fee. This means that they can arrange their own food and drinks so you don't have to.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is based on our 5-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Coventry. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2-hour drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's price includes a rider buyout fee. This means that they can arrange their own food and drinks so you don't have to.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
