Testimonials

"THIS WAY UP were AMAZING! The whole band were very professional and polite. The mix of music was spot on and everyone was up on the dance floor, even my Gran did some dancing! I would thoroughly recommend THIS WAY UP to anyone who want a professional band who sound just like the artists they are covering! - Thanks guys!"

I would like to thank you once again for all your effort."

Dave and Fiona Burton.

"To say that we were impressed by THIS WAY UP was an understatement. They were professional from beginning to end. From the first contact to meeting them on the night. We had already agreed their playlist with them, which suited us down to the ground - we had quite a range of ages from 18 - 75! Everybody loved them. People were dancing from beginning to end of the night. They even learnt a song for us and performed it fantastically - even if it did make me cry!!

We just wanted to thank you and pass this on to the band to say they really made our night very special indeed.

Either of us would not hesitate to recommend the band to anybody as indeed we already have done.

Thanks a million!"

Abigail and Phil McKennell.

"Just a quick note as promised to say many thanks for providing live entertainment at our party. We initially thought of hiring just a DJ as we didn't think that our budget would stretch to both a live band as well as a DJ.

We spoke to a few other bands and DJs and the quotes they provided seem to bear this out. But THIS WAY UP were very affordable and also provided the DJ music.

They are a great band and everyone loved the music they played. Very professional and played something for everyone. Superb!"

Greg Althorp.

"Many thanks for playing the school prom on Saturday. You were absolutely wonderful! The music was great and the songs sounded brilliant.

We will definitely be booking you again."

Sarah Tennal.

"Just a quick note to say how much everyone enjoyed the THIS WAY UP. Thanks for making our wedding day so special."

Amanda and Geoff Smith.

"We had a cracking day... thanks to you guys, everyone was up and dancing."

Nick and Leyla Davis.

"Tom and I just wanted to say how much we and our guests enjoyed Hard to Handle. I can't imagine what our wedding day would have been like without your wonderful music. I loved the way you encouraged everyone to get up onto the dance floor. The best thing was that both my granddad and my little niece were dancing - he's 70 and she's 14, so you must be doing something right. Thanks!"

Maria and Tom Simpson.

"We needed to find a band that would compliment the atmosphere we wanted to create for our awards ceremony for this year. THIS WAY UP were recommended to us and I can honestly say that they were perfect. They were very aware of the need to work within the framework of the awards and were onstage on time and provided a superb nights' entertainment for all. Thank you very much."

Catherine Anderson.
