We had a super time playing for Christine and Solomon at the Monastery in Manchester a couple of weeks ago. The Monastery Manchester is a fabulous historic venue in Gorton, Manchester once listed as one of the world’s top 100 endangered sites.

Christine and Solomon had Thinking Out Loud by Luckie D which was a great choice, followed up by our 5 piece wedding band as the evening’s main entertainment.

The monastery Manchester really is a fantastic looking venue and it was great to share it with our lovely couple. All the best to you both for the future!

East Riddlesden Hall Wedding Band

August 17, 2018Events, Leedseast riddlesden hall, Leeds, weddingMitch Cockman

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:

The Millhouse, Skidby Wedding Band and Acoustic Duo

August 10, 2018Acoustic, East Yorkshire, Eventsacoustic, the millhouse, weddingMitch Cockman

We had a full day of playing for Luke and Rebecca’s wedding at the Millhouse in Skidby this month. Our acoustic duo played in the afternoon during the happy couples drinks reception (see video below) and then the 5 piece core band for the evening entertainment. It was a lovely day and especially nice when we get to play the acoustic set earlier in the day as we have much more time to speak to guests and get to know people!

The evening started with a LIVE father / daughter dance to ‘My Girl’ and it was lovely to see Bill dance with his daughter.

The Millhouse is a bright, open venue where you can choose from a range of different rooms to suit your occasion. We were in the glasshouse where you have great views over the countryside of East Yorkshire.

The Alice in Wonderland theme went down a treat and we loved the stilt walkers and giant garden games 🙂

Thanks again Rebecca and Luke and all the best to you both for the future 🙂

Lucy and Gez had Shut Up and Dance With Me as their first dance and they had a fully choreographed dance to go with it. Gez did a great job!!
