Blue Suede Shoes specialise in vintage, crowd-pleasing hits that everyone knows and loves, by legendary artists such as Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson and Paul Simon. They also include just enough contemporary pop music to keep the younger generation happy.
They’ve clocked up a huge amount of experience both as one of Surrey's most sought-after wedding bands, and individually too: their vocalist/guitarist honed his skills playing arenas and supporting acts such as Simply Red and Status Quo, and contributed to an album by Grammy award-winning Coldplay producer Ken Nelson.
Blue Suede Shoes were brilliant and the music was enjoyed by everyone young and old! Sharon, Diamond Wedding Anniversary, Surrey
Other band members have worked with Shola Ama, Bad Company, Plan B and Devlin, played to 25,000 people at the opening ceremony of the Cricket World Cup and toured Europe.
The band's core line-up is a 3-piece but they can expand to include a sax player (who also doubles up on lead guitar), and/or a keyboard player for a performance that packs a punch.
We’ve enjoyed working with the band for over 8 years now and they’ve had phenomenal feedback every time. Highly recommended!

“The band were absolutely phenomenal. They played song after song at an incredibly high standard and are all very talented musicians. We had loads of feedback from our guests about how great they were and it was a real pleasure and privilege to have them at our wedding. They were all friendly, professional, incredibly helpful and even helped with our weird requests. We could not have asked for a better band to help us celebrate.”
Laura, Wedding, De Vere Horsley Estate in Surrey, February 2020
“Great music, lovely guys and easy booking.”
Tom and Rachel, Wedding, Cholderton in Wiltshire, July 2019
“The band were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. They emailed me with their repertoire, I replied with songs I liked, and they made the perfect set list for us. Incredibly easy to deal with, all correspondence were smooth. On the day they were just as great, arranged their set to suit our arrangements and the music itself was sublime. They also added some Irish songs which I had requested which was an amazing touch for us. Couldn't thank them enough, lots of my guests asked about them. Very professional, look very smart but most of all an amazing sound. Thank you so much. x”
Joe & Lorelle, Wedding, Elmore Court in Gloucester, December 2018
“We absolutely loved your music and we are so pleased we booked you. All of our guests were asking who you where and where we found you. Thank you for making our evening! It was a perfect end to an amazing day!”
Martin, Wedding in Hampshire, June 2018
“We were very satisfied with the guys, great musicians. They turned up plenty early, and politely got ready out of the way. Then they hit the note just right!”
Fraser, 50th Birthday Party in Surrey, March 2018
