A Fun-Filled Wedding at Woodlands Hotel: Lucy & Tom’s Big Day

What an unforgettable night! We recently had the pleasure of performing at Lucy and Tom’s wedding at the stunning Woodlands Hotel, just outside of Leeds. From the moment we arrived, we could tell it was going to be a night to remember – and it certainly was!

The highlight of the evening had to be Lucy and Tom’s beautiful first dance to “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith. The couple took to the dance floor, and you could feel the love in the room as we played the iconic ballad live. It was a perfect start to an energetic and joyful evening.

Once the formalities were over, it was party time! We had everyone up on their feet, dancing to everything from modern hits to classic soul and funk. The dance floor was packed all night, and the energy was electric!

A big thank you to Lucy, Tom, and their guests for making us feel so welcome and for giving us the chance to be part of such a special day. The Woodlands Hotel was the perfect venue, and we loved helping you all celebrate!

Events Band and Music at the New Dock Leeds

March 31, 2019Events, Leedsevenets band, LeedsMitch Cockman

Congratulations Yorkshire Water in raising over ONE MILLION POUNDS for the amazing wateraid charity! We were very honoured to have played the wateraid ball for the second year in a row at the New Dock venue at the royal armouries in Leeds. As usual it was a great turnout and people gave generously for this very special cause.

While one billion people have escaped extreme poverty in the last 20 years, at least 10% of the world’s population still live without safe water to drink and one in three people live without a decent toilet. As a result, 500,000 children die every year. This wholly unacceptable situation causes untold suffering, holding back human and sustainable development. It particularly affects the lives of women, who carry the burden of collecting water and caring for sick children, and the lives of girls who often fail to finish their education because of a lack of toilets in schools.

So thanks again Yorkshire Water for having us as part of your celebrations, as always it was a blast!
