Whatever the event – and whoever you’re inviting – this male-fronted 4 to 12-piece London party band will give you the ultimate premium performance, keeping both celebs and civilians on the dancefloor all night!

The band are ultra-flexible: choose from 60s and 70s tribute sets, rock and pop, disco and funk, and even Jewish simcha music sets. The band's charismatic lead vocalist is an expert in getting the audience involved in the evening, encouraging everyone up on to the dance floor and getting them to sing, both individually and as a crowd. This makes for a special, memorable occasion, and one in which all guests feel they've played an active part.

In the six years they’ve been together, the band have performed at a host of private parties, corporate events and weddings, from intimate gatherings at exclusive venues to private parties with an audience of hundreds. We have a lot of bands on our books who’ve played with and for the stars, but we’ve never seen anything like this before! In the six years they’ve been together, the band have performed at a host of private parties, corporate events and weddings, from intimate gatherings at exclusive venues to private parties with an audience of hundreds. We haven’t got enough space here to list all their clients, but recently they’ve played for Richard Branson, Joan Collins, the Guinness family, Bank Of Scotland, QANTAS, Zurich Finance, Lloyds TSB and Richard Dunwoody. When they’re not entertaining the stars, members of the band play with artists from East 17 to Barry Manilow to Ennio Morricone.

For extra style, why not add their 2-4 piece brass section, extra singers and percussion players? Whatever you decide, you need to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

The band have some amateur video footage available, from a private function - please enquire for more details.

What people say Help

  • When I spoke to people on Monday about the ball, the main thing that kept on coming up was how great the band were. I think your lead singer has developed quite a fan club down here in Tidworth. It was a fantastic evening, and your band really provided incredible entertainment for us all. Please pass on my best to the rest of the musicians. You really know how to make a party and play great music. I have already had people asking me for your details. All the best to you and your band.

    Henry, Officers Mess Ball, Wilts, July 2011

  • We wanted to say a massive thank you for your wonderful performance at our wedding last weekend. The music and entertainment was perfect and kept us and our guests dancing all night long. You were great at involving everyone in the evening and making it a really warm and welcoming performance - exactly what we wanted in our wedding band. We would not hesitate to recommend you, we could not have asked for anything better. Once again many thanks.

    Kirsty, Wedding, July 2011

  • I would like to extend a big thank you to you and your band. The feedback we received was amazing, and a lot of our employees mentioned how fantastic you were! If you would like a reference or quote for your website, I would be more than happy to provide this.

    Nabila, Corporate Event, July 2011

  • Thank you so much for giving us all a thoroughly entertaining night last saturday, i am only sorry I never got a moment to come and chat to any of you.

  • Just wanted to say a big thanks to you and the rest of the band for the fantastic performance you gave us on the 27th. It surpassed all expectations – everyone was saying to us that the band were a real highlight of the day. The sight of my old relatives trying to comprehend Sexy MF will stay with me forever! I will be recommending you far and wide but wanted to say thanks again.

    Richard, Wedding, May 2011

  • Thanks again for a fantastic night, we really enjoyed our selves as did our guests. Every body I have spoke to since have said what a brilliant band you are and how great it was having a band rather than a disco. Thanks a million & Tony.
