What people say Help

  • We had a fantastic day! Radio Nation kept the room dancing. They ensured we danced until late and again, the music choices were spot-on. We loved them. Very talented. One of our guests is thinking about booking them for her forthcoming wedding in 2013. The band really made our evening memorable.

    Davd, Civil Ceremony, London, April 2012

  • You were absolutely brilliant - everyone I have seen has commented on what great music you play - it was spot on for the occasion - you all worked the floor so hard. I could honestly say, it was my 40th birthday dream to see everyone having a good time and when you did your final song, I sat back and smiled as this was memory that will stay with me forever as I looked up and saw every single person dancing, jumping up and down and having an absolutely brilliant time. I cannot pay you enough compliments, you were complete professionals.

    David, 40th Birthday Party, March 2012

  • Radio Nation were absolutely fantastic!!! They got everyone dancing straight away and the dance floor remained full throughout the night. Everyone kept coming up to us telling us how impressed they were by the band, and even still today refer back to them. Not only did they play and sing amazingly but they integrated with the crowd. So thank you and the band for making it into a memorable wedding!

    The agency and the service was great. The communication and the hiring process was easily managed over email and everything was clearly specified throughout the process. Thank you for helping us hire such a great band!

    Alexandra, Wedding, Yorkshire, September 2011

  • We used Radio Nation for three events in a row and every time the dance floor was packed and people were up on stage joining in with the singing. They helped create a great atmosphere - what more could you want for your party!

    Specsavers Optical Group

    Anita, Wedding, London

  • Radio Nation played at our new year party for about 250 guests. They had a wide variety of music, great vocals, a lot of stage personality and got the crowd involved. They had a lot of charisma, and the evening was enjoyed by all.

    Shanie, Global Rail Limited

  • Just a huge huge huge thank you for an amazing performance. I wanted to say personally how fantastic the band were and I only wish the evening could have gone on longer. When I next plan a BBC party your band is top of the list.
