"The Uprising rocked my 50th birthday and retirement party over the last 2 years! I must say, those boys know how to throw a party… and they gave sterling efforts on the fancy dress front! Lovely people and true professionals."
"The Uprising were absolutely incredible. They played music to suit a variety of ages in a style we liked. Everyone loved them. They communicated brilliantly all the way and even helped with suggestions as to our first dance. I cannot recommend them enough and would definitely rebook!"
"The Uprising were the perfect band for our Halloween-themed wedding - a perfect mix of classics to get everyone on the floor, and some heavy stuff thrown in at our request or insistence! Extremely friendly and professional to deal with throughout, would highly recommend... 10/10 :)"
"We booked The Uprising for my daughter's 21st birthday party and could not have been happier with them. We were a mixed aged group with my daughter's friends and other older family friends. From initial contact to the various requests from my daughter with regard to the playlist the communication from the band was professional and very obliging. They kept the dance floor packed all evening and we really didn’t want them to stop! We couldn’t recommend them highly enough and would definitely book again in the future."
"THIS BAND IS INSANE! We had the best night at our wedding reception. You will not regret booking these guys, absolutely top quality musicians and a bunch of fun!"
"I had the pleasure of working with The Uprising on our Oktoberfest national tour. From start to finish, the guys went above and beyond to ensure that our customers received the best experience possible. They are by far the best cover band I have hired and really know how to get the crowd involved. From a management perspective, I was incredibly impressed with the professionalism and organisation of the band and everything run very smoothly. A huge thank you again to the whole band!"
"It was a must to have The Uprising at our wedding since you were part of the proposal on P&O Ferries! And we’ve got to say that it was so worth it to have you travel up to Hull for our big day. Brilliant night for all our friends & family and you’ve definitely made an impact in our life!"
"The Uprising were absolutely brilliant - "smashed it", "those guys were awesome" - just a couple of the great comments from guests on the night. Beforehand Connor was great at keeping in touch throughout all of COVID and really positive to accommodate various requests and really happy to say all went very smoothly. Delighted that they were as exactly as we wanted and sounded brilliant, with a great mix of songs and a sound that kept the party and dancing going til the very end of the night! Thanks so much to all three - they really help make our night after such a long delay through COVID! Tom."
"We saw you playing on board Fred Olsen cruises in the Caribbean and couldn’t get enough! You made our holiday and it was so enjoyable getting to chat to you on a daily basis. Shame we couldn’t stay on with you for longer, 14 nights wasn’t enough Uprising for our liking!"
"Excellent group very friendly and professional. I will book them again."
"This band is outrageously fantastic. I am fussy about my music but they delivered an amazing performance. They look the part and sound the part and really nice guys as well."
"Fantastic!!! such a fun night, everyone loved The Uprising. Great musicians, excellent vocals, lots of fun, couldn't be happier. Lovely friendly lads, hope to see them again."
"Brilliant music and lovely people, couldn't have been better."
"Attended a wedding at Folley Farm in Somerset on 30th August and these guys were the band. They were awesome and filled the dance floor all evening! A good mix of music was played for all ages. Had a chat with them during a short break and they were really nice people very friendly and easy to talk to! I would highly recommend them."
"I would recommend them for any party, celebration or wedding. They were amazing !! The dance floor was never empty, they played a big mix that was heavy on the indie which suits us and our friends. In the lead up to the wedding I emailed and asked if they could learn my hero by the foo fighters. They were so lovely about it as I kept it a secret from Dave. They kept me up to date and were delighted about learning it for us and loved playing it which made me feel even more excited. We both love the Foo fighters and went to see them in June this year, with the wedding looming to the gig for us was even more unforgettable. The Uprising not only played it as good as the Foos but looked the part too. I have had the most positive feedback about the band than anything else. Plus they were super lovely in all communications and to all guests. They had dance moves too!! Everyone at our wedding loved them, we had a very relaxed picnic in the afternoon with lots of food, then a hog roast, so the guests could have been sleepy and too chilled to jump about. Not a chance with this band!!!! Blinding performance. Thank you all so much, were so grateful and feel so pleased we decided on live music, the atmosphere was great and they played all the right songs. Really hoping our friends book you for their weddings now. Best of luck to you not that you need it :) thanks again for being super lovely and friendly too xxxxx"
