On top of sounding great (obviously), we really felt like they were engaging with the crowd throughout their sets — not just performing 'at' us. On top of this, they just seemed like really chill and easy-going guys, and kept us laughing and dancing the whole night. A great time was had by all; 10/10.”

(So much so we’ve text them to see if they play normal gigs) We had so much fun and so did our guests, everyone kept telling us how amazing the band were! They even learnt two Kiss tracks for us and it was amazing, they really made our wedding day! They were also so friendly and were so good with our 15-month-old son…which to us, meant the world! Also, everyone we dealt with through Tailored Entertainment were great! Laura helped us straight away when we though we had a major problem (it was like chatting to a friend).”

The dance floor was full all night. They interacted amazingly. And their song choices were spot on - I never would have requested Eminem but it was awesome and our guests loved it. The Edge of Seventeen, Bootylicious, Eye of the Tiger mash-up was out of this world. Our guests commented how awesome the band were and many have since asked me for their details for their own weddings. If you need any further recommendations for The Flyaways please ask.”

All of our guests were raving about you on the night and the day after - you’re the first thing everyone mentioned when we spoke to our guests and you certainly were the highlight of our day! We cannot thank you enough for being so fantastic and giving us a night to remember. When you guys did the Eminem songs we all absolutely lost it - incredible. Thank you SO much for being awesome and we hope we get to see you again sometime - without doubt the best band we’ve ever encountered and by the comments of our guests, I think they all felt the same too. In fact, we’ve already had some guests ask us for your details for their upcoming weddings!”

    “Hi Guys, We wanted to get in touch to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding and for providing the best set we could have hoped for. The music was incredible and each of you were friendly and really lived up to our expectations. We searched long and hard for a band that we liked and really struggled so we will be recommending you to everyone we know - we were so impressed. We loved that you blended in the music from our DJ between your sets to create a seamless transition - especially when you started playing Prince! The musical variety was really good and the quality was excellent. We felt like were at a proper gig with a really top quality band. You were great at interacting with our guests and we've had nothing but positive feedback from everyone in attendance. Thank you again - we will definitely be coming to see you play live the next time you're in London to say hello and re-live a truly memorable night! Also a mention to the events team who work with the band behind the scenes and were great to deal with in the lead up to our wedding. It certainly makes a difference to work with professional and organised people so we are very grateful.”

    FAQ

    I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

    Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features modern day dance floor fillers to your favourite rock and pop anthems, so there's certainly something for everyone.

    Do you take requests?

    We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

    How long do you take to set-up?

    90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.

    What time do you play?

    At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 8.00pm and midnight.

    How long do you play for?

    We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.

    Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

    Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute acoustic set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.

    What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

    The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

    If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

    Do you have your own PA and lighting?

    Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

    What is the website guide price based on?

    The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in London (midweek and off-peak discounts are possible). We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hour drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

    Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

    Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

    Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

    Yes.

    Will you perform our first dance?

    Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

    How much space do you require?

    We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

    How much power do you require?

    2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

    Do I need to provide food/drinks?

    The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.

    Can we see you play live before booking?

    As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.

    “The Flyaways were an absolute delight to have at our wedding. On top of sounding great (obviously), we really felt like they were engaging with the crowd throughout their sets — not just performing 'at' us. On top of this, they just seemed like really chill and easy-going guys, and kept us laughing and dancing the whole night. A great time was had by all; 10/10.”

(So much so we’ve text them to see if they play normal gigs) We had so much fun and so did our guests, everyone kept telling us how amazing the band were! They even learnt two Kiss tracks for us and it was amazing, they really made our wedding day! They were also so friendly and were so good with our 15-month-old son…which to us, meant the world! Also, everyone we dealt with through Tailored Entertainment were great! Laura helped us straight away when we though we had a major problem (it was like chatting to a friend).”

The dance floor was full all night. They interacted amazingly. And their song choices were spot on - I never would have requested Eminem but it was awesome and our guests loved it. The Edge of Seventeen, Bootylicious, Eye of the Tiger mash-up was out of this world. Our guests commented how awesome the band were and many have since asked me for their details for their own weddings. If you need any further recommendations for The Flyaways please ask.”

All of our guests were raving about you on the night and the day after - you’re the first thing everyone mentioned when we spoke to our guests and you certainly were the highlight of our day! We cannot thank you enough for being so fantastic and giving us a night to remember. When you guys did the Eminem songs we all absolutely lost it - incredible. Thank you SO much for being awesome and we hope we get to see you again sometime - without doubt the best band we’ve ever encountered and by the comments of our guests, I think they all felt the same too. In fact, we’ve already had some guests ask us for your details for their upcoming weddings!”

    “Hi Guys, We wanted to get in touch to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding and for providing the best set we could have hoped for. The music was incredible and each of you were friendly and really lived up to our expectations. We searched long and hard for a band that we liked and really struggled so we will be recommending you to everyone we know - we were so impressed. We loved that you blended in the music from our DJ between your sets to create a seamless transition - especially when you started playing Prince! The musical variety was really good and the quality was excellent. We felt like were at a proper gig with a really top quality band. You were great at interacting with our guests and we've had nothing but positive feedback from everyone in attendance. Thank you again - we will definitely be coming to see you play live the next time you're in London to say hello and re-live a truly memorable night! Also a mention to the events team who work with the band behind the scenes and were great to deal with in the lead up to our wedding. It certainly makes a difference to work with professional and organised people so we are very grateful.”

    FAQ

    I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

    Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features modern day dance floor fillers to your favourite rock and pop anthems, so there's certainly something for everyone.

    Do you take requests?

    We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

    How long do you take to set-up?

    90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.

    What time do you play?

    At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 8.00pm and midnight.

    How long do you play for?

    We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.

    Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

    Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute acoustic set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.

    What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

    The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

    If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

    Do you have your own PA and lighting?

    Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

    What is the website guide price based on?

    The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in London (midweek and off-peak discounts are possible). We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hour drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

    Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

    Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

    Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

    Yes.

    Will you perform our first dance?

    Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

    How much space do you require?

    We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

    How much power do you require?

    2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

    Do I need to provide food/drinks?

    The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.

    Can we see you play live before booking?

    As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
