Versatile Birmingham based wedding & party band turning out a veritable smorgasbord of soul, disco, rock and roll and the latest indie to keep you dancing until the wee hours.

With breathtaking vocals, lush harmonies and an explosive rhythm section, The Spooks will take you on a whirlwind musical journey through the 20th Century, from 1960s classics, 1970s disco, 1980s pop heaven and hits from the 1990s through to today - all designed to get you on the dance floor and keep you there until the last song!

The band's musicians have performed in prestigious venues throughout the UK, Europe, Australasia, the Far East, Russia, Canada and the USA, and Wedding Ideas magazine have featured them in their "best function band" special.

Previous clients include HSBC, Ryanair, the SAS, Channel Four Television, The Liberal Democrats (pre Clegg!), Greater Manchester Police and Lufthansa. Their vast experience playing UK weddings has seen them play in some of the most prestigious venues in the UK, from Rhinefield House and Beamish Park Hall to Cheltenham and Aintree racecourses. July 2009 they were invited to perform at the Manchester Rugby Sevens tournament, a prestigious three day festival that has firmly established itself as the North West's premier annual sporting event.

The band are friendly and flexible, and will take the utmost care to ensure that all logistical and musical aspects of the night are organised in good time, and to your satisfaction.

What people say Help

  • Just a quick note to say how much everyone enjoyed the band. Thanks for making our wedding day so special!

    Amanda, Wedding
  • We had a cracking day... thanks to you guys, everyone was up and dancing.

    Nick, Wedding
  • Many thanks to The Spooks for performing at our event. I'd heard lots of good things from our previous events organiser about yourselves and I'm pleased to say, they're all true. I found you very professional and accommodating to deal with and the entertainment the band provided was second to none.

    Graham, Event
  • When we decided on The Spooks for our shareholder function we couldn't have picked a better band. Compared to previous years, the band was simply in another class. Very entertaining, superb music, couldn't have been better. I would recommend you to anyone.

    Alex, Corporate Function
  • After a few problems with last years' entertainment, we needed to find a band that would compliment the atmosphere we wanted to create for our awards ceremony for this year. The Spooks were recommended to us and I can honestly say that they were perfect. They were very aware of the need to work within the framework of the awards and were onstage on time and provided a superb nights' entertainment for all. Thank you very much.

    Catherine, Industry Awards Ceremony
  • Tom and I just wanted to say how much we and our guests enjoyed The Spooks. I can't imagine what our wedding day would have been like without your wonderful music. I loved the way you encouraged everyone to get up onto the dance floor. The best thing was that both my granddad and my little niece were dancing - he's 70 and she's 14, so you must be doing something right. Thanks!

    Maria, Wedding
  • We booked you on recommendation from friends, and I'm glad to say you didn't disappoint. Up until I spoke to you, I was having a nightmare booking a band for my wedding. But you were brilliant! Very professional and courteous. The band were great and everyone was talking about how much they enjoyed the songs you played. Thanks a lot guys.

    Lisa, Wedding
  • Our friends recommended you for our wedding. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to The Spooks. I was worried that with so many guests we wouldn't be able to please everyone with the choice of music but you just got up there and everyone danced from start to finish. I hope you didn't mind my mom and dad getting up on stage and singing with you - they just enjoyed it so much.

    Andrea, Wedding
