Wedding band music at the Oakwood of Rhyther, Leeds

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of playing at a wedding at the stunning venue, The Oakwood at Ryther for Amber and Richard.

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the venue. The Oakwood is situated in a picturesque location with stunning views all around near to the cities of York and Leeds. The venue itself is beautifully decorated with an elegant yet modern touch, which made the wedding even more special.

The reception was held in the old grain store, which was beautifully decorated with wood panelling, candles, and stunning floral arrangements. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable. The drinks flowed freely throughout the night, and the atmosphere was electric.

We had our photopod set up entertaining guests all night on the mezanine floor.

Overall, The Oakwood at Ryther was the perfect venue for this amazing and fun wedding. From the stunning location to the delicious food and amazing entertainment, everything was top-notch. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning their wedding or any other special event.

Events Band and Music at the New Dock Leeds

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!

The lakeside cafe is a lovely spot in the historic Roundhay Park in Leeds. As the name suggests, the cafe is next to the lake so expect glorious views out over the water. And THIS weekend it was the venue for Jamie and Jane’s birthday celebration. What a lovely couple, and we were really glad to be part of your special day!

Last weekend we had an great time playing for Sam and Georgina at the amazing East Riddlesden Hall in Keighley near Leeds. East Riddlesden Hall is national trust grade 2 listed barn near Keighley who specialise in weddings. The barn is a blank canvas allowing you to put your own stamp on the day and always looks great with a rustic theme. The new glass front has really added a great focal point to the venue.

Georgina and Sam had The Maccabees – Toothpaste Kisses as a SURPRISE first dance played for them by some friends which was a great touch.

It was our 7 piece show band out for the evening playing two sets with dj playlist music in between which really fills the space in a big barn like this.

It’s always nice to get good feedback from our clients about gigs we do. Here’s what Sam had to say:
