"Booked Pop Academy for my 30th birthday party. They are the perfect party band probably for any occasion. Extremely versatile and accommodating. Ian provided excellent communication throughout the booking procedure and would definitely recommend them. They really got everyone up dancing and made my evening extra special!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"We booked Pop Academy for my husband's 40th birthday party. Everything was easy from booking the band and arranging all the details. The band arrived in good time to set up their 'band castle' gazebo and all the equipment in our garden which looked really impressive with all the lights to create a great party atmosphere. The song list was spot-on to cater for the mixed-age group and they were happy to take requests. Everyone was very complimentary of the band they had everybody up dancing! It will definitely be a party to remember! Highly recommended!!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"From the day we first booked Pop Academy, Ian kept in contact with us throughout the months leading up to our big day. The performance they put on at our wedding was absolutely amazing, guests of all ages were up dancing. Great selection of songs. One of the highlights for us was that the band took the time to learn our first dance. We as a couple will never forget that! Having Pop Academy helped complete our amazing day. When all your guests ask how we chose the band and the man running our photo booth comes and asks saying “I’ve been to a lot of weddings and this is one of the best bands I have ever heard”, just confirms what a success they were. We recommend to all and will definitely use them again for family celebrations. Thank you Pop Academy & FixTheMusic."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"I had the Pop Academy playing at my mini-festival birthday! I cannot thank them enough for such a great night! They had the crowd going for the full set, and interacted with everyone! We love you guys and we will have you back for the next event!!"
