“Happy New Year! I just want to start by saying the band were absolutely incredible. They had everyone up and dancing from the first song and both vocalists were fantastic. We’ve had so many compliments from guests about the quality of the entertainment, so we would like to pass on our thanks to them all for giving us such a memorable evening.”
Cari Winter - Wedding , Old Thorns, Liphook, Hampshire (OJ's Soul Band)
“Hi Nick, I just wanted to say a very big THANK YOU to the Decade for Friday night. They were brilliant, the night was a fantastic success and everyone has been saying how brilliant the band were. They were so professional and kept the dance floor filled all night. Thank you for all your help and we wish you all a lovely Christmas and a great New Year.”
Katie Davey - Corporate Event for Reed Recruitment , London (Decade)
“Hi Nick, I would like to say how amazing Decade was at our Christmas Ball on Saturday night. Many guests throughout the evening commented on how good they were. All band members were professional, looked fantastic and their vocals and music were brilliant as well as diverse. They fully engaged with the crowd having the dance floor full throughout their sets. Please pass on my biggest thanks to Decade and to the two DJ’s for a very entertaining evening. Myself and Gill will without a doubt be recommending Decade for future functions. Thank you for providing such a professional service. Kind regards”
“I hope you’re well. Please can you pass on a massive thank you to Simon on behalf of us and the client from Thursdays event at The Household Cavalry Museum. The client wanted us to pass on her thanks and was over the moon with Simon’s willingness to play longer as she said it added that extra something to the event and he went down a great success – I hope he enjoyed the evening too. Thanks again! We look forward to working with you again in the future.”
Nikki Raynal - Corporate Event, Household Cavalry Museum, London
“Hi Nick, Please pass my thanks on to the band for Saturday night, they were great, it was just all over too soon! Particular thanks to Ian who is a huge asset to you and really put my mind at rest once I met him when he was setting up. He was thoroughly professional, polite and considerate. All the best to you with your business”
“Thank you so much for saturday night. We had a great time and you guys were amazing. We will be recommending you to our friends for future occasions. Once again thank you very much. Kind regards”

“Hi Decade, We just wanted to say thank-you for making our wedding reception in Blandford as amazing as it was! We had a brilliant time, and all of our guests did too. We’ve never seen such a full dance-floor at a wedding! You guys gave it 100% and we couldn’t ask for more. Thanks again, All the best”
Scott & Hannah Burnett - Wedding , The Crown Hotel, Dorset (Decade)
“Just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to Ollie, Zion & the whole Academy Allstars team for simply making our day on Sunday November 3rd. From the Ceremony, Reception Drinks through to the Evening & me getting up with them – they were just exceptional & I think nearly every guest whatever their age or musical background commented on how fantastic they were (& got on the dancefloor!!) – even the staff at the venue!! I think myself & Jon ran the risk of embarassing/scaring them on the day just because we were so blown away with how great they were, we would sing their praises to anyone that will listen & not to under estimate what nice people they were too!! I think there’s alot to be said for how great you & Millie have been at organising & ensuring everything ran smoothly & we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you & Academy Allstars. A million thank you’s.”
“We just wanted to drop you a quick email following the band’s performance at our wedding. Everyone at the wedding thought that the band was fantastic and had a great time dancing to the songs! You were all so professional and the voice of the lead vocalist was fantastic and we had a lot of comments about how good people thought you were. So a huge thank you from us, we would gladly recommend you to anyone, the perfect evening entertainment and you really added to our wonderful day! Thanks!”
Lee & Laura Webster - Wedding , Grasmere Hotel, Salisbury (The Magic Tones)

“We just wanted to say thank you for your helping us find and hire AJ. He did a great job and sounded great. Please let him know how great we (and all our wedding guests) thought he was as I didn’t have a chance to say hello on the day.”
“Live Lounge Band were fantastic. Sarah’s vocals were out of this world with many of our guests commenting on how amazing she was. Richard was also great on guitar and also helped us set up our PA system which was beyond the call of duty! When asked to play another 10/15 minutes (we didn’t want them to leave!), they were happy to do so. Not only were they great artists/performers, they were also very lovely people, which made it even more special. Please thank them so much!”
Jason Marshall - Private Party , Buckland House, Devon (Live Lounge Band)
“We have had so many compliments from our guests about The Live Lounge Band, everybody absolutely loved them. They made our beach front drinks reception just perfect. Thank you so much.”
Rebecca & James - Wedding , The Bay Hotel, Dorset (Live Lounge Band)
“The fact that the band were able to accomodate our requirement for an electric drumkit was the first plus point. The fact that the electric drumkit in no way affected the bands dynamic/sound was the second. The fact that they did not exceed, or even get near the limit on the bar tab we left open for them was the third. The fact that they were experienced performers who knew how to work the crowd, that was the fourth. The final point goes to them for being so polite, courteous and affible. To say were were happy with the band is an understatement. All of our guests raved about the band, as did the venue. They would be happy to recommend the band on their website infact. Top Job!!!”
Matthew Poat - Wedding , Dodmoor House, Northamptonshire (Decade)
“Just a note to say thank you very much indeed to you and your band for playing such great music at our evening reception at the Lainston on 7th September. Several of our guests commented on your music – you sounded great and your choices of music were perfect. Thank you also for playing the music for our first dance – it was just the right tempo – we hope you enjoyed our dance! Thanks again”
Claire and Andy - Wedding , Lainston House, Winchester (Beat Junkie)
“Thank you to you and the rest of the band for such a wonderful time on Saturday. Everyone commented on how good you were and judging by the almost endless stream of requests, even the karaoke dissenters had their mind changed and got involved. Hope you all managed to get something to eat and the bar staff kept your drinks filled. All the best”
“We had a great night – everyone really enjoyed the band. It was important to us that we got loads of people on the dance floor and you did that and so much more, thank you!”
