Reviews from local events in Greater Manchester
“Spektra Showband were perfect. Both visually and sonically stunning, they were incredible.”
“Glow Stix were fantastic at our wedding! They suited the venue - Albert Hall, Manchester perfectly. They really started the party off and everyone was up and dancing. We didn’t want them to end, we could have continued dancing for many more hours! According to all our friends, it was the best wedding they've ever been to! Thank you Glow Stix!”
“If you want a band that will play all your favourite songs and play them amazingly, then this is the band for you. We were so lucky to have them at our wedding. so glad we booked them, couldn't imagine any other playing our wedding.”
“We booked Wild Foxes to play and DJ at our wedding, could not have asked for anything better - they had everyone up on the dance floor all night!! Thanks so much guys!”
“We just wanted to say that we thought you were wonderful at our wedding - the guests loved the band, the sets were really upbeat and fun. Thank you especially for being so patient with us and checking our preferences - it was great for the day to be so easy in areas like that. A special thanks for accommodating Charlie to sing a song with you - while we missed it (and are gutted about that) apparently it went really well. It was a lovely accommodation for which we are grateful. Overall it was just a brilliant experience and we wanted to wish you the very best of luck for the future.”
“Sam and the band were absolutely brilliant for our wedding. We saw them a few months back to scope out their skills and we were more than impressed. So much so we asked for additional band members to make the day even more special. The band's professionalism and care to detail was fantastic and we could not have asked for anything more. All of our guests seemed to have enjoyed Full House and were constantly asking for their details - most of our Guestbook includes the band being the best bit about the day & my sisters were too busy being infatuated with Sam to even write in the book! The best bit was the surprise they gave us - it made the day even more special. Thank you all so much you were amazing, see you soon. (For those debating about booking these guys, just do it. You won't be disappointed).”
“The Club Collective were wonderful! Maria has an amazing voice - her range and repertoire are both superb. The band members are all great musicians and obviously enjoy what they do. Happy smiling faces all night, a real warmth and connection with your audience. You really made my special birthday party a great night. You had everyone up on the dance floor - even my 85 year old father-in-law!! I would highly recommend The Club Collective for any event.”
“The band created such a good atmosphere and made my party complete. I would fully recommend booking you and can’t wait to see you play again!”
“Tony has put together an outstanding outfit that will certainly put a stamp on your event. It’s a life long dream for him to create a band of this kind, operated by himself which reduces problems you tend to find with entertainment companies that operate as an agency. With Timeless Motown, you will deal with the main man which is amazing! After working alongside the band, they focus on attention to detail, creating an amazing atmosphere and engaging the audience. Definitely consider these for your event!”
“The 60 minute set was incredible, just what we needed to get things going - unbelievable night!”

“Now the wedding has finished and is a distant memory I want to say a massive thank you. If you could pass on our thanks to everyone involved, the whole experience was fantastic. They were outstanding throughout, what a voice, the wife even commented on how she preferred Firestone when Sasha and Will performed it rather than the original.”
“The Happy Hours made my birthday party extra special! Unforgettable night!! They are great people and very professional musicians. Highly recommend them!”
