More May 2023"Captain Obvious performed at our wedding just over a week ago now and they were absolutely brilliant. They looked after us from the moment everything was booked including communicating with the venue directly about the logistics so it was one less thing for us to worry about. They played everything we wanted including learning our preferred first dance and checked in with us several times throughout the night to check we were happy with everything. From the moment of their first song to the end of the last the dance floor was full and no other part of our wedding has received as much praise from our guests as the wedding band. Book them for whatever event you have got going on and you really will not be anything less than delighted. Thank you guys you made our night, it is one we will not forget and we look forward to seeing you perform again soon. "

More April 2023"Captain Obvious were absolutely phenomenal. Sorting out all the music! Jon at Seventh Second was very helpful too. Having never really heard them play before it was a little bit of a gamble and I was just going purely on the reviews. However, as soon as they started playing our first song I knew I had made the right decision. Their musicality and performance was amazing, I would pay money to see them play again. They were all really friendly and helpful which was nice and allowed us to relax and just enjoy the evening. We have had so much great feedback from all our guests too. Their set-list and repertoire were exactly what we wanted with a mixture of classics, cheese, UK 90s garage and some floor-fillers to finish off the night. I couldn’t thank them enough! "

The guys went down a storm and we’ve had so many asking us who they are and how we found the! They were truly awesome. Was also nice that they stayed on with us to party for a while afterwards. The encore of ‘Sex on Fire’ with everyone rocking on the dance floor will live in both of our memories for a long, long time to come.
