Sound of the Suburb - Function / Party Band - Barnet, LondonEvent Location: Le Vacherin Restaurant, Chiswick W4 5LFEvent Type: Wedding9th August 2019
Having been an avid fan of rock n’roll music for three decades, it was essential that I found a really good band for our wedding. I reviewed over 100 bands over a period of several months and Sound of the Suburb were by far the best.
These gentlemen love what they do and they do what they love exceedingly well. They are some of the most pleasant, accommodating, flexible and decent people I have dealt with.
Most of all, they generate an energy and fun that was infectious. We had everyone from under 9 to over 90 years old on the dance floor, which revealed dancing talents of some guests even their spouses did not know they possessed. Our family and friends had a ball thanks to their efforts, which they do not spare any of to make the occasion memorable. This band not just met but exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them unreservedly. Please treat them with the respect such good musicians deserve and they will go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful event.

Thank you again and we look forward to hearing you play again at future events. I would be very happy to recommend you to others so please feel free to use me as a reference as you see fit.

I had the band 'Sound of the Suburb' come highly recommended to me by a member of staff team at the Royal Free Hospitals voluntary services.
We made some enquiries and decided to book the band for the annual Barnet and Chase Farm Volunteer party, that was held in October of this year.
The band members were organised and easy to communicate with prior to the event, and on the night, what a wonderful band they turned out to be!
They literally made the party extra special! We had guests with ages ranging from there 20s to the 90s up dancing to their very well played, classic rock and roll tunes.
The singer, well what a voice!, with great charisma and energy, wow. The band complimented the singer and they were all in perfect unison, playing pitch perfect every tune.
These guys really are a very talented group of musicians and a great band with great energy, they had us up dancing all of the night.
We’d made no secret of the fact we would love to book them again and again!

I booked Sound of the Suburb for my birthday party in August 2018 and the evening was a tremendous success. The music played by the band was fantastic. Everyone at the party commented on how good the band was and that they had catered for all ages and musical tastes. They are a very talented bunch of guys who deliver a very slick and tight sound which creates a great atmosphere as soon as they start playing. A really good band choice for live music to suit any occasion, A big thank you to all of them for making my birthday party a memorable event for all of those who came along.

Dear Chris, David, Steve, Mike and Paul
I want you to know how very much my husband and I appreciate the “Sound of the Suburb’s” incredible performance at my Birthday Party on 23 June.
So many of our guests came up to me on the night to say how much they were enjoying the Band’s playing and, since then, I have received glowing “thank you” notes singing the Band’s praise – and I quote:
“ …. a fab band playing the absolutely best of the 60s and 70s …
“Oh Boy! What a wonderful 70s Band …
“ … and the Band were superb …
“The band was so brilliant …
“… a stunning Band taking us all back to those halcyon days …”
You were all marvellous and helped to make it a night to remember.
I will let Phyllis Court management know how good you all are. We would certainly want you to play for us next time we have a big party.

"We had seen the ‘Sound of the Suburb’ a few times at the Black Horse in Barnet before asking them to play at our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Throughout the whole process of initially speaking to them, booking them and them playing on the night it was made extremely easy and stress free. They have been professional throughout. With their combined talent, they got everyone up and dancing all night ensuring a great party atmosphere. Dave (lead singer) ensured all our requirements/playlist were met and even exceeded our expectations. The band surprised us with their version of our wedding song which ended the evening on a high. We have had lots of compliments from our guests regarding the band and we couldn’t recommend them enough.
We are looking forward to seeing them again soon. Once again many thanks for making our evening so special."

“We heard Sound of the Suburb performing at a gig and thought it would be good if they could play at our joint 50th birthday party. What a great decision! They were very professional from start to finish providing their playlist and adding new songs just for us. The music was fabulous; David has a great voice and the songs were performed with energy and style. Everyone was dancing and the party was all that we had hoped for. After the party lots of our friends complimented the band and asked for their details. We could not have asked for more.”

Sound of the Suburb made my birthday party. They are hugely charismatic and we were dancing all night. Friends were saying how great the band was for weeks afterwards.
They’re a lot of fun – great rock n roll. I’ve seen them play at loads of venues from pubs to synagogues and they’re always brilliant. They came early to set up and checked the playlist with me in advance. But honestly whatever they play is brilliant – high energy, roof-raising and with just enough edge. A very talented bunch of guys. Hugely enjoyable.
