Superb band friendly and professional

We had family and friends from France on my side and English on my husbands side. The band made it look so easy and took care of all things music wise. They created a fantastic atmosphere getting everyone old, young, English, French, tipsy and sober on the dance floor!

Best wedding band ever!

Tom & his band really made our wedding evening do one to remember. They got everyone up dancing and had a great selection of songs. So many of our guests asked about them for weeks afterwards as they really left such a positive memory in everyone’s minds.

Sensational!

Could not recommend this band enough. We had them at our wedding and absolutely everyone was full of praise for them long after the wedding. We set the song list together, they even learnt a new song or two for us and let my wife get up and do a song with them. Very competitively priced for the quality of the band. We were beyond happy with them.. book them!

My birthday party

Super happy to have Tom join us at my 60th party which was also my surprise wedding evening as well. Comms were great and Tom was able to adjust his set quite late to adapt to the change in pace of the party. Would definitely recommend

Great band playing b2b classics!

The Get Back Beats played our wedding in May 24, and were nothing short of excellent.

Great communication up to the day and very accommodating of any requests we made (including doing a personalised opener to our first dance!).

The band were super professional and took away any stress we might have had about getting them set up/down - all taken care of with speed and discretion towards the guests.

The band are a really tight group, with a great repertoire of songs all guaranteed to have the guests up and dancing. Everyone had a fantastic night and we had rave reviews about how much everyone loved the band - they come highly recommended :)
