What people say Help

  • We booked The Buskers for our wedding reception, it was a large room with 130 guests. They played two one hour sets. I never believed just two guys could make such a large and amazing sound and fill the whole room.

    Literally, from the second the music started the dance floor was packed and remained so all night. They played music for all tastes and even my Grandma had a dance! It was an amazing night and so many of our guests have credited The Buskers with making the party "go off!" I would highly recommend them to anyone, not only for their music but also for being such lovely people. I would book them again in a heartbeat!

  • The Buskers 4 piece band were awesome and packed out the dance floor the entire night. They were very approachable regarding song requests beforehand and learnt a new song for our first dance. They also did a wicked impromptu jamming session with a famous guest and a performance of 'I'm the King of the Swingers' that shall never be bettered. I can't recommend the Buskers 4 piece band highly enough.

  • Just wanted to just send you a bit of feedback about The Buskers that we hired for our wedding a few weeks ago. We were a bit nervous about booking them without seeing them first but we were so pleased we picked them. They made our evening and their infectious style and choice of songs got everyone on the dance floor right from the start and it stayed like that for the rest of the evening. It was a really good mixture of songs which meant everyone could join in. They are both lovely lovely, laid back guys and it ended up feeling like they were part of the party. Everyone congratulated on us picking such a good band and we thank them both so much for making our evening go with a bang.

  • They were fantastic. We can't think of anyway they could have been better. Everyone was coming up to us over the course of the evening and asking us where we found them. From the very start to the end they had everyone shaking their thing on the dance floor, but it wasn't just the usual covers or music quality. They we're genuinely brilliant, really tight as a unit and you could tell they enjoyed playing together. The music they played was like a playlist of the soul. The best example we can think to demonstrate their quality was our first dance. We'd requested a fairly obscure track by Hot Chip called "one life stand". It's not an easy song to play, and they hadn't even heard of it before. However, they played it absolutely note-perfect, even down to the reverb and synth-like sounds. They must have practised it for ages to get it that good and it's that attention to detail that really makes them stand out. We really appreciated the effort.
    From then on things just got better and by the end of the night they'd managed to drag everyone onto the floor and spread a great vibe around, just like we wanted. We could not recommend them highly enough.

  • These guys offer a fantastic range of songs to suit all tastes and ages. I’ve booked them a few times and they’ve been superb and very professional. I would be more than happy to recommend them for any occasion great guys and good fun 10/10.

  • I chose The Buskers to play at my 40th Birthday party because I knew they would appeal to all ages and musical tastes. They didn't disappoint, the only regret was I didn't book them for longer!! Both guys ooze charisma and Dave does an excellent Michael Jackson impersonation to boot!! Highly recommend.

    Eileen, Birthday Party
  • The band MADE my 18th birthday party, such great guys with amazing voices and had fun at the same time...definitely will be booking them again!

    Laura, Birthday Party
  • I have the pleasure of listening to these two beauties every other week, class performers with hours of stunning covers. They’ve made my nights at the Cape Of Good Hope an absolute pleasure to be a part of. They will always be my 1st port of call when putting on events in and around Oxfordshire. Fact.
