Here are some of the reviews for Flair Six. You can see all our reviews here.
“Flair were a terrific band and come highly recommended. We hired them for my birthday party which had around 100 guests and they rocked the socks off the place. They have an extensive song list which we went through and gave them a list of our favourite songs prior to the event and rough order in which we wanted them to be played and they took all of this on board and even learned a new song for the event. They were very professional throughout from Matt at Seventh Second who put us in touch with them to Craig who we liaised with and organised the band details with. On the night they set up and broke down their set swiftly and efficiently and the quality of music that was played throughout the night was lively and kept everyone dancing until the end. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.”
Jason Thorton, Birmingham
“Flair were incredible! So friendly and professional. They were the highlight of the evening and the dance floor was never empty when they were playing. Since last Saturday, everyone’s been saying how amazing the band were, and we can’t recommend these guys highly enough! We’ve already told our friends they need to hire them next year for their wedding. Thanks for making our wedding day the best day ever!”
Mr and Mrs James Syers, London

A sample of the many great reviews League of Gentlemen have. You can see all our reviews here.
“We just wanted to say what a fabulous job The League of Gentlemen did last Saturday night. It pressed all the right buttons, everybody was up dancing all night (apologies for the standard of our singing!). The band really knows how to rock (and roll when required). We have received nothing but compliments from everyone who was there, with the best comment being “the perfect wedding band”. You made the evening go with a bang, so many thanks to you all.”
Richard and Barbara, Kent 2019
“I just wanted to ask if you could pass on a message to the band… THEY WERE AWESOME! Both myself and Laura (my now wife) were very happy they made the evening! They were technically brilliant and so helpful, fun and really approachable. I have not been to a wedding with a better band!”
Richard Hunter, Gloucester 2018
Popular wedding lineup and booking options: Over the years the League of Gentlemen have found the perfect set-up for all wedding occasions. Great quality but compact light show and PA speaker system ensures that they can create the atmosphere and sound for any wedding, easily fitting into those lovely old compact wedding style barn venues or cavernous modern wedding venues. The League of Gentlemen’s most popular lineup is their standard 4-piece lineup but their acoustic duo performance option has become very popular over the years for wedding ceremonies and drinks receptions. All band equipment is PAT tested and PLI insured so the League of Gentlemen can perform at any wedding venue in the UK. Our acts are also highly skilled at working with sound (decibel) limiters.
Popular wedding songs and first dances: Classics are always popular with wedding couples and guests and these include Superstition by Stevie Wonder, All Right Now by Free and Sweet Child of Mine by Guns & Roses. Modern tunes include Mr Brightside by The Killers, Shut up and Dance with Me by Walk the Moon and Valerie by Amy Winehouse. Popular first dances include plenty of Ed Sheeran tunes, Pencil Full of Lead by Paulo Nutini and Stand by Me by Ben E. King. All our acts currently offer a free DJ service with any booking. Contact us for more details.

A relatively new wedding music band, All Night Disco are one of those special bands that you can’t quite get out of your head. Stunning female vocals, pumping all-male backline and the bonus of a fully-fledged lead male singer makes for an exciting musical cocktail. All Night Disco offer the kind of premium wedding entertainment you’ve always wanted, always adding a high-quality musical sparkle to any wedding party. A huge list of fantastic tunes are on offer and with a lineup that can go from affordable 3-piece right up to an all-encompassing 9-piece, there is a line for every wedding no matter the theme, style, size or budget. You won’t find many premium pop wedding bands with both female and male lead vocals and the kind of musical diversity All Night Discos offer at their prices either!

“Please pass on our thanks to All Night Disco who put on an excellent performance, they engaged with the crowd and created a brilliant party atmosphere on the dance floor, a fantastic recommendation, thank you.”
Emma Taylor, London 2020
“I just wished to say how fantastic All Night Disco were at our wedding. The aperitif music was the exact mood with a superb sound and performance, and then the post-dinner performance was out of this world. Every single person loved it…including the Italians! I also thank you for slipping in a few ‘cheese songs’ for me …which as I (and I know you) knew would go down fantastically!!!”
Thomas Willow, Manchester 2019

Press play on that video because I can’t do justice to the lead singers’ voice from Talking with Fireworks here. When you combine her vocal and undoubted guitar and looping skills with a professional percussionist and backing vocalist it’s pretty spectacular! Talking with Fireworks are the wedding ceremony experts here at Seventh Second but they are more than capable of turning it up a notch and rocking the proverbial wedding house all night if you love the sounds of a talented acoustic duo performing up-tempo pop, soul, RnB, Motown and blues. Like many acts here at Seventh Second, they can perform indoors or outdoors and fit into any part of your wedding seamlessly. From experience, I know that many wedding venues can be a bit short on space so a wedding duo like Talking with Fireworks are perfect for such venues and will deliver all the live entertainment you could need.
Here are Talking with Fireworks’s key highlights. See more on their profile page.

“I hope you don’t mind me dropping you guys and email but I just had to send a message to say a MASSIVE thank you for an amazing evening on Friday! You guys were absolutely amazing and made the wedding the fantastic day that it was! We are such a live music bunch and you really were the cherry on the cake! You made the set really personalised and catered for all music tastes! Everyone has commented on how brilliant you guys were and my 93 year old grandfather is still saying how brilliant you were and I have had to find him your website to play a few more of your tracks! Thanks again for all you hard work and for making the day extra special.”
Katie and Dan Crook, London 2019
“I booked Talking with Fireworks after seeing them at another wedding. I wasn’t sure if they would be willing to fly out to Italy, but they were happy to do so! They played acoustic sets during the day and EVERY guest was on the dance floor! We’ve had so many comments from our guests on how good they were and one of my bridesmaids even tried to book them for her wedding next year (sadly they were already booked).”
Kaite and Dougie, Italy 2017
Popular wedding lineup and booking options: Duos are nice and compact and Talking with Fireworks are no different with a small and professional set-up for indoor and outdoors.

“The communication with Matt at Seventh Second before the wedding was great. We were able to pick songs we wanted and they were able to play our first dance. The Wildlings were one of the highlights of the whole wedding. The dance floor was full all night and they played songs suitable for all our guests. I had lots of messages from guests to say how much they enjoyed them. One of my favourite memories of the wedding was when they played champagne supernova and asked guests to make a circle round us.”
Lauren Addison, Burnley 2020
“The Wildlings were absolutely phenomenal for the 3 sets they played at our wedding. They were so upbeat and got everyone dancing and having the most amazing time. They are also the nicest people and took time to make sure that they were playing songs from their repertoire that they knew we loved. To cap it all they also agreed to play our first dance even though it was outside their repertoire and needed to learn it – all for no extra charge. They gave us the best party and we can’t fault them at all!”
