"The most incredible wedding band you could wish for! There are no words to describe how incredible The Crossbones were. They made my last minute wedding dream of a karaoke hour come true, performed two amazing energetic band sets that had everyone on their feet, did a surprise DJ and sax section and then DJ until the end of the night. Communication was amazing from start to finish and they really did make our day so special!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"James and The Crossbones...what can we say!! YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. You brought the vibe, the dance, the togetherness on the dance floor, the sleek and pitch-perfect vocals to the outstanding performance on the drum, bass and guitar with lights and everything else in between. You guys were something else and I always knew getting our wedding party going would see an encore! You got us, from the moment we made contact with you, we knew then the decision we made to invite you to play at our wedding was the BEST DECISION! Thank you, thank you, thank you. You brought the magic and atmosphere to the wedding we dreamt of but added that something more!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Fantastic band - you need to book them! We're so glad we booked The Crossbones for our evening reception. Their sound is top quality and have a huge repertoire list to choose from. They even learnt a new song especially for our first dance. Not only did we love the band but our guests did too. The dance floor was never empty! Communication from James (drummer and manager) was excellent. We honestly can't recommend this band enough - if you're considering booking, just do it!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"We booked The Crossbones for our wedding and they were amazing! Our first dance was exactly what we wanted, and the setlist got many of our friends and family dancing. We had guests coming over to give compliments and ask where we found them. I also asked if they could learn a special song as a surprise to my partner, which they did and played it brilliantly. We couldn't have asked for better, thank you so much to the band for the best night!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"The Crossbones were fantastic from start to finish James went out of his way to allow me to call him to discuss the vibe I wanted for the live music and DJ sets and it to be a party vibe not just a wedding Whenever I had any questions or requests, he responded very promptly, with utmost professionalism, and was always willing to help to make our day as special as possible A week beforehand, he checked in with us to see whether we needed anything, or wanted a call which was so wonderful just knowing he was on it and the band were ready for the day - just one less thing to worry about chasing a supplier the week before!! On the night the band were brilliant, the first dance was incredible and beautifully sung which was a custom request we had, the sets that followed matched the vibe we’d asked for on the very first phone call and all my guests thought they were fantastic. The DJ sets in between were brilliant and kept the party going throughout. We even got an extra song at the end which the audience loved! I’m so glad we found this band and chose them and would recommend them to anyone. All I can say is thank you!"

From start to finish, James was a highly engaged manager who listened to every detail and also provided innovative solutions for us. The live set delivered in spades. This team simply ooze potential and it’s clear they delight in the mastery of their musical talents. Would recommend to anyone based on engagement, sublime guitar riffs, range and choice and also value for money. This really capped off a highly successful wedding with many asking me for their contact details. A very nice group of young gents to boot!"
