Reviews for The Bandeoke Experience
“'One of the best parties I have ever been to'
I was so blown away by The Bandeoke Experience when I booked them recently for my 50th birthday party. The feedback from guests has been overwhelming - some have said it was one of the best parties they have ever been to!
You could tell that everyone was having an absolute blast on the day. I knew it would be great but have to say it still exceeded all my expectations. When a friend sang Mustang Sally I saw people 6 rows deep swaying and singing 'ride, Sally ride' or then everyone was singing and dancing along to 'You’re the One that I Want'. All those girls telling all those boys 'they better shape up.' Such incredible fun. I had no idea I knew so many talented singers!
The team were so easy to work with - from my initial conversation, to arranging the logistics for the day and then the brilliant way the band interacted with the guests at the event. Great song choices available and they just made planning the event so easy given their experience.
I cannot recommend them highly enough. Such a brilliant addition to the day! It really was a truly unforgettable experience. Have fun when you book them!”

“We can’t thank you enough for the massive part you played at our vegas party.
You were a massive hit and the way your vocalist helped us all along with the songs was incredible. She was amazing and so kind! And Ross, thank you for all your help and guidance from helping choosing the right venue to the order of the day. It was so much fun and truly a night we’ll never forget!!”

“Bandeoke at Trek!
The team have been absolutely brilliant from start to finish, providing stress free arrangements and set up. They have kept in touch with us the whole way through the process too!
The band were incredibly talented providing fantastic live music. They also made sure everyone has a chance to sing and encouraged a lot of people up on stage! It really brought the whole party together and i cant rate The Banderole Experience highly enough!
To anyone who loves live music, and the chance to sing with a band....book This experience now!!
THANKYOU ALL SO MUCH! :)”

“The best party ever!!
Ross and his team made my 40th birthday the best party I could have wished for! From making the initial enquiry all the way through to wrapping up the night with the last song, they were incredibly professional and created great vibes all round! Everyone who came said they had such a fun night. Thanks so much!”
Amy Mallin, 40th Birthday party - Farncombe, Surrey - August 2024
“Incredible vibe!
When we first considered booking a Bandeoke band for our Channel 3 Connect summer event, we were a bit nervous. Some of the partners were worried about whether it would be inclusive enough for our quieter team members. But after talking with the band, they assured us they had a great process to get everyone involved, and boy, did they deliver!
The night turned out to be an absolute blast. The band was amazing at getting people to participate, even those who swore they wouldn't get up and sing. By the end of the night, even the most hesitant folks were up on stage having the time of their lives.
Everyone had rave reviews about the event. The band made it easy and fun for everyone to join in, creating an awesome vibe that brought us all closer together. It was perfect for our team-building goals, letting us connect in a fun and unique way.
For a consulting company like ours, Bandeoke was the ideal entertainment choice. It was the highlight of Channel 3 Connect, and we're already looking forward to doing it again next year!”

“Amazing 40th Birthday Party booking
I know when looking at TrustPilot people are looking for good and bad but if I could give 10 stars for Bandioke I would!!! They played at our 40th party and right from the outset Ross and Oscar were amazing throughout the prep not to mention diligent and professional. Their attention to detail meant nothing was left to chance. Even after some last minute timing changes they adjusted and fitted in perfectly. Then came the event itself…. This was even better! Our band leader was Ross and he, along with the whole band were professional and courteous. As is often the case it was a slow start to guests singing and they rocked out perfectly! Their repertoire is endless and so all guests had something they could sing if they wanted.
The band were INCREDIBLE!!
Safe to say I couldn’t recommend highly enough!!”
Emma & Rich, Joint 40th Birthday party - Cobham, Surrey - July 2024
“Brilliant! Our company absolutely loved it and had so much fun - would highly recommend. Ross and the team are so friendly and helpful so made it super easy to organise.”

“Me and my team were absolutely blown away by the level of talent that we were so lucky to have at our company away day.
The pre event communication was thorough and super helpful, The band was really friendly and they were exceptional performers that really inspired everyone to get up and have a sing. Would recommend for any event. I had high hopes and they were exceeded.”

“The second time we've booked the Bandeoke Experience...
And it was even more fun than the first! Truly a highlight of our summer party. The band create such a good, fun atmosphere that encourages everyone to get involved and enjoy.
The band are epic, and would be great entertainers in their own right. If our team didn't hog the mike so much!”

“Great wedding entertainment, perfect planning and communication.
The Bandeoke team were so brilliant, we couldn't recommend them enough for a wedding - it was such a perfect end to our special day :)
The band were a great laugh, they made all the guests feel so comfortable and the bridal and grooms party feel really special.
Before the wedding, Ross and the back office team were so easy to work with, responsive, organised and great communicators. A total relief when you are dealing with multiple vendors, guests and budgets. I felt totally confident and was right to because it all went perfectly :D”

“Thank you for making our 20th anniversary celebration so special!
I recently booked The Bandeoke Experience for our 20th work anniversary celebration at The Wave in Bristol, and it was absolutely fantastic! The band was excellent, and their performance truly elevated the event. Everyone in attendance got up and sang, creating an incredibly fun and lively atmosphere that made our anniversary celebration unforgettable.
Ross, the coordinator, was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He worked closely with both myself and the venue to ensure that all setup details were taken care of seamlessly. His professionalism and attention to detail made the planning process smooth and stress-free.
The energy and enthusiasm of the band were infectious, and their ability to engage the crowd was remarkable. Watching my colleagues take the stage and sing their hearts out was a highlight of the evening. The joy and excitement in the room were palpable, and it was clear that everyone was having the time of their lives.
Given the success of our event, we will definitely be booking The Bandeoke Experience again in the future. If you're looking to create a memorable and interactive event that will leave your guests raving, I highly recommend The Bandeoke Experience. Thank you for making our 20th anniversary celebration so special!

A huge thank you to Ross and the team for delivering such an exceptional night for us last Wednesday! Everyone had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the entertainment.

“WOW! What an evening! I can't thank Ross and the Bandeoke experience team enough for such a fantastic night..
the band did an amazing job at getting our conference guests up, dancing and singing, the only negativity was the night had to end! Our guests described the annual evening entertainment as the best we had ever had! You won't regret booking the Bandeoke Experience.”

“…They are exceptionally professional and talented musicians who ensured that the party was perfect from beginning to end.…”
I booked the Bandeoke experience for my husbands 50th and could not recommend Ross and the team more. They are exceptionally professional and talented musicians who ensured that the party was perfect from beginning to end. My husband and his friends absolutely lived out their dreams of singing in a rock group. I’ve had so many messages from friends who had the best night out. Fantastic experience - thank you x
Jo Kennedy, 50th Birthday party - Coombe Wood Golf Club, Kingston upon Thames - May 2024
“An incredible experience!
I had seen this Bandeoke group at another event and had to use the for a party we were planning. Fantastic set up, super organised and responsive, even happy to chat to other acts that we had popping in to share AV equipment. These guys made our evening and kept a huge crowd of guests very very happy and entertained. THANK YOU!
Julie, Sale manager, Boutique Whitening Dentistry show after party, Hilton Metropole, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham - May 2024
“We rarely write reviews unless the product is exceptional and we can genuinely say that your band exceeded our expectations.
We have to admit to knowing nothing about the technical equipment that you use, but someone in the know about these things, was mightily impressed.
We wanted to thank you for all your hard work organising the band for our party. They were amazing, especially when “our Elvis” decided to open with a completely different song than he had agreed with the band, surprising everybody, including himself. Apparently he started by mistake with the song that he used to when doing his routine when he was younger. We didn’t even notice as the band had a second of confusion, but then just started playing the song that he was singing. They must be pretty amazing musicians to have the ability to do this. Many people commented on how impressive the band was.
We also want to thank Dave and the other band members for the unobtrusive way that they set up whilst we were doing our games and other activities. We are sure there will have been things happening in the background that we were not aware of but to us everything seemed to work smoothly and without worry or interruption.
Good luck with your business for the future. If anybody ever asks us, we will certainly recommend your company.”
Valerie & Charles Bradley, Golden Wedding Celebrations - Old Albanians Sports Club, St Albans, Hertfordshire - May 2024
“…slick and professional in every element of planning and delivering the experience from start to finish.…”
Hired these guys for my 50th birthday party. I wanted to give everyone a party to remember, and get the whole party bouncing from the start. The Bandeoke Experience provided this in abundance. Not only this - Ross and the team were slick and professional in every element of planning and delivering the experience from start to finish...... Go for it - you wont regret it.
Ken Platt 50th Birthday party - The Imperial Crown Hotel, Halifax, Yorkshire - May 2024
“Fantastic band, superb service - best party ever
From when I first contacted Ross at Bandeoke I was greeted with professional, helpful and concise information and service which meant that I felt totally comfortable that we were going to have the greatest party yet. The band, on the night, performed brilliantly, helped everyone to have the courage to sing and to get up and dance, were incredibly accommodating to all our guests. I completely recommend The Bandeoke Experience, and will be asking them to perform for us again at my 50th.”
Louise Hodgson & husband Pete's joint 40th Birthday party - Letchworth Hall Hotel, Herts - March 2024
“My 3rd booking to date - The Best Live Kareoke Service Ever!
Ross and his team are amazing! They're easy to work with, organised, and professional. This is the best interactive activity for a party, and every time I've booked the Bandeoke Experience for a company event, the team has a blast. I particularly enjoyed the added commentary/jokes from the singer who's onstage to provide a confidence boost and support with the singing when needed. The lighting and staging provide a real rockstar experience. Those who said they wouldn’t take part always end up participating.”
Eva, One Trust, Office Opening party - London SE1 - February 2024
“The Bandeoke Experience are super fun,
very organised and overall a wonderful experience! They are super professional as they organised the event super well and It went smoothly - they arrived on time set up and overall were definitely the main event of the party! Everyone had so much fun singing and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate a birthday- we highly recommend them to you as you definitely will have the best time!”

“The perfect way to get our sales event started!
We recently booked the band for our Beyond sales event and they were brilliant! From first contact with them they were very easy to deal with and worked with us to provide the best experience for our delegates. On the night they got things going really well and could have gone on much longer than the 2 hours we asked them to play.
I highly recommend booking them for your event!”

“We recently booked Bandeoke for our Christmas party - I have booked many Christmas parties but none have been as successful as this!
Bandeoke feels familiar, but is also unique (not every day you get to sing with a live band! The band was great with fab song choices, i think everyone got involved! Ross is excellent as communicating in the lead up leaving me feeling totally at ease. I would say to anyone booking, make sure you check with the venue first to make sure their arent any restrictions they may have such as, floor space, speakers, types of instruments that can be played. Luckily Ross and his team guided us in the right direction and we were able to make it work.”
Isabella Laws, Mumsnet team Xmas party - London - December 2023
“Team evening event - such a wonderful night!”
We had the most amazing evening with The Bandeoke Experience. They performed at our team offsite with people from all over Europe and everyone absolutely loved it. Everyone really let their hair down! The band were extremely professional from the moment we got in touch, nothing was too much trouble and the team had the most wonderful evening. Thank you for making such great memories. I can't recommend them enough!”
Polly, Google - EMEA team event - London - October 2023
“We booked The Bandeoke Experience for my husband's 60th birthday party. Ross was very thorough in the preparation for the event which meant that everything was set for the evening. We were so impressed with the performance of the band. They are a very talented group of musicians. Hollie was a fantastic singer and had real empathy, stepping in if anyone was struggling. She also helped with general announcements e.g. cake cutting. The band really made the night and would wholeheartedly recommend booking.”

“What a Blast! If you're not sure about booking, just do it!
We booked Ross and the team for our summer party to celebrate the company turning 10. From the start, it was clear this is a well oiled machine and they know exactly what they need to get the most out of an event! There was a staff member (or 5) up singing at all times from the moment they started. The compere was very helpful in guiding the staff through the songs so that they were enjoyable for all to listen to. It was like being at a gig!! Thank you to the team for being such a big part of our successful night of celebrations!

“The Best Night of Your Life
The Bandeoke Experience recently played at my 50th birthday. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for a totally unforgettable experience and for making my night. I had the time of my life opening the show with I Will Survive in my gold catsuit. Healthy to release one’s inner diva once in a while… From start to finish this was a reassuring experience. From Ross’s guidance about the event, getting the space ready, letting me know what the band needed to perform at their best, preparing the guests to sing in advance and nominate songs. On the night, the band’s incredible musicianship and sense of fun gave the party energy and momentum and everyone just had a great time. The biggest surprise was the kids’ desire to join in. I doubt they will ever forget the experience of singing with a professional band and the encouragement the band gave them to step up. Klaus, as our compere, was so supportive. We could not have wished for a more generous host. The whole band were superb at compensating seamlessly for all our forgotten entrances. It was simply awesome. Worth every penny.”
Angela, 50th birthday party - Lingfield, Surrey - August 2023
“A wonderful set list and the best band of musicians!
I can only share my absolute thanks to the Bandeoke Experience the team for a wonderful evening and the perfect set. We had the most fabulous time, and couldn’t have been more pleased with it all. We sang until we were hoarse, and even those who are anti-oke were participating thanks to a diverse and extensive set list. We will book again, and again, and again!”
Oona, Motion Picture Solutions, "Yellowfest '23" - Summer Party - Hammersmith, London - July 2023
“Quality entertainment, made for a beaut birthday party.
Everyone said afterwards how the band were the highlight, it was loads of fun, they enjoyed it so much - I’d absolutely hire again and would recommend to anyone. Was really impressed with the way they managed the actual performance as well: all the little things like the set list management, stronger backing vocals for those that needed it more, adapting timing if people missed cues, etc etc. Really great stuff!”
Paddy, 30th birthday party - Ringwood, Hampshire - July 2023
“Best birthday celebration ever
I was looking for something special to help make my wife's birthday party really memorable so decided to book the band and give it a whirl. It was absolutely awesome and cant recommend the guys enough. We had an absolute blast and everyone loved the night. Massive thank you to Ross, Klaus and the guys for putting on a fantastic show (and masking / improving our terrible singing :) )! You were brilliant in all regards from my initial contact, setting up & helping coordinate the night. You were also incredibly respectful of our house (and neighbours) - big thank you. You made everyone feel at ease and we’d love to do it again.
Thank you again for an incredible event and making the night the success it was.”
Nicky & Ollie, 50th birthday party - London - June 2023
“The Bandeoke Experience made everyone's night.
We booked the Bandeoke Experience for our wedding celebration and they made the night a special one, not just for us, but for all our guests. From initial booking Ross was brilliant, helping with clear communication and a detailed plan that covered everything, which meant I didn't have to worry about organisation, he had it covered expertly. On the day Ross, Klaus and the rest of the band set up and delivered an amazing experience. Everyone had a fantastic evening that was filled with unanimously positive comments given to me about the band. I really hope that they got a sense of how much they were appreciated and the fun that was had by all.
I am really thankful for them also for being so accommodating of our home setup as I am sure they have played much more prestigious venues in the past and will do so again.
The Bandeoke Experience made the evening of our wedding celebration everything we hoped for and more. We wanted a night that all our friends and family would not only enjoy but that would stick in their memories as an absolute whopper of a party and they delivered this is buckets.
I will certainly be recommending them to anyone who cares to listen.
If you're thinking anout hiring these guys for your event, do it! They are super talented, hugely professional and a joy to work with.”
Stuart & Joanne, Wedding - Sevenoaks, Kent - June 2023
“It was brilliant fun and everyone loved it!!
The Bandeoke Experience played at my 50th birthday party and were fabulous!! I was a bit worried about whether people would get into it and how it would go… but I needn’t have been. It was brilliant fun and everyone loved it!! From start to finish the communication with Ross was excellent and, even as a complete novice to planning for a live band, I was supported to ensure that everything went smoothly. Klaus, the band leader, was really lovely and came in to help any singers that lost their way. The band were tight playing together and all fantastic musicians in their own right. All in all, we had an amazing and really memorable night, much of it brought by the addition of live music and the chance for party guests to become stars for the night. Thank you so much!! xxx

I just wanted to pass on our sincerest thanks to you & the rest of the band for your incredible performance at our wedding. Our guests have all been absolutely raving about The Bandeoke Experience, every single one we have spoken to has said how much they enjoyed it. We’ve had a preview from our videographer and she has really captured the atmosphere on the dancefloor and what a fantastic conclusion it was to our wedding day. We loved every minute of it.”
Paul & Fran, Wedding - Alrewas Hayes, Staffordshire - May 2023
“Simply the best…
A fabulous band that want to give the experience of singing with them to anyone. The energy you get as a singer from the band is something I’ll never forget. And the confidence that it gave to lots of people who otherwise would not have sung was inspirational. From every step in preparation, set up and the event itself Ross and the band were super easy to deal with and thoughtful.”
Steve & Helena. joint 50th birthday party - Oxfordshire - May 2023

“Great Wedding Day Entertainment.
We just wanted to write to say thank you so much for being a part of our wedding day. You really provided a fantastic experience. Your communications leading up to the big day were impeccable and you were very friendly, flexible and understanding. The guests absolutely loved it, and Magda was incredible as the frontwoman, providing support and encouragement when needed, and letting guests shine when they were more competent (or at least they thought they were!). Some of the most memorable moments of the day came from the Bandeoke, so thank you so much for that. My only wish is that it could have gone on for another few hours!”
Leanna & Nathan O’Neill, Wedding - Rivervale Barn, Yateley, Hampshire - April 2023

Right from the outset the experience of booking the Bandeoke Experience was easy. Ross was very helpful throughout & kept us really well informed. We had such a great time at my husbands 50th birthday party, guests sang from the start to finish & loved having a live band behind them. Anna our compère was wonderful making sure that we kept in time & that we all enjoyed every minute of singing. It was something really different that everyone loved & we now have some of the best memories (& videos!) from this party. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the band, they were professional and brilliant.
If you’re sat on the fence….go ahead & book, you won’t regret it.”

both on the evening and importantly in all the pre booking engagement. Ross & team could not have been more helpful and responsive and helpful with any and all questions and queries.

“…Stop looking at other Bandeoke providers! These guys are the best. Brilliant comms, super professional in the preparation.
On the day the band soundchecked, recommended room configuration, and then kicked a55. The amount of my friends who have commented on what a brilliant night they had had was untrue. Never seen so many men trying to get up on stage and ruin a classic. Thanks guys - see you at my 60th (so you may need to learn a few Status Quo tunes).”
Rik R, 50th Birthday party - New Malden Squash club, Surrey - November 2022
“…very happy with The Bandeoke Experience…A great team building activity….”
Hi Ross, very happy with The Bandeoke Experience - Dave and team were amazing and the positive feedback has been flooding in from the team. Even if people didn't have the nerve to stand up and partake themselves they still motivated and supported one another. A great team building activity. Music playing from the duo during the meal was just beautiful, got everyone into a good mood (maybe too good of a mood with the free bar).”

“…thank you so much for putting on such an amazing show! We honestly had the best night..
Hi Ross, Klaus and Ben, now that we’ve just about recovered from Saturday, we just wanted to say thank you so much for putting on such an amazing show! We honestly had the best night, as did our guests, and the band really made it! Everyone has been talking about you guys, saying how great the live karaoke was and wondering what event they can book you for. Not only was the music great but you were also so friendly and helpful (to us about timings etc and when people on stage got lost…). Ross, thanks for all your help organising it in the lead up. We hope you guys enjoyed it too! We’ll definitely write a review and hopefully see you again sometime. Thanks again”

Lucy, Perfetti van Melle - Team conference celebration, British Airways i360, Brighton, East Sussex - September 2022
“My review is about more than one great party, my review spans the last 3 years!
I booked The Bandeoke Experience pre pandemic with the plan to have my 40th birthday summer 2021. Unfortunately due to extended lockdowns then trying to organise availability for both bands I had booked the cater etc we had to postpone the party twice. I was tired of set backs that were out of all our control so I postponed the party to summer 2022. Ross who manages/organises the band was fantastic throughout, supportive and understanding of the situation and happy to help as much as he could, in which was was probably an incredibly difficult time for the band. Fast forward to summer 2022, the party finally goes ahead and the band were awesome! Great musicians, very patient with the children, very patient with the adults! They were a really cool bunch of guys, relaxed no egos and did everything they could to accommodate our requests! I like to think they enjoyed it as much as we did??? I would book The Bandeoke Experience again in a heartbeat! There are serious discussions about #Gudgefest23!”
Michael Gudgeon, 40th Birthday party – East Sussex - August 2022

Moira, BE for Beauty - staff summer party - Nottingham - July 2022
“Well let me tell you that it was an AMAZING outstanding night! Everyone attending was up and singing! Sometimes more than once! The band members themselves were fabulous, fantastic, they were really accommodating and created a brilliant atmosphere…”
Everyone was asking where I found you guys from, they’re 10 out of 10, we’ve raised the bar in entertaining and run up to a wedding. It was just the best at qqq. I’m gutted I didn’t sing more but the fuzz may have shut us down then ? I have two family members who have milestone birthdays next year and have taken your details. My brother comperes for weddings and he said that this was ‘next level!’ Thank you so much Ross for remaining committed to us throughout the pandemic and ‘delivering’ on your promise of a fantastic night !
Raheela Rasheed (daughter Zara's) Wedding - High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire- July 2022
“…It was such a fantastically fun evening…”
We just wanted to drop an email to say a huge thank you to the band last night! It was such a fantastically fun evening, absolutely made by having bandeoke. Everyone I’ve spoken to this morning has had an absolute blast and even some of the more shy members of the party felt so buzzed that they got up and sang too, so thank you for providing such a great atmosphere!
We would do it all again tonight if we could!
Lauren and James, Wedding - Bristol - July 2022

Simon Curtis, 50th Birthday party – Balham Bowls Club, London - July 2022
“5 stars! We were told by many of our guests it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Having the fantastic band, the lights, the sound, it all completely transformed what could have been quite cringy karaoke to such a spectacle. We all had so much fun, and it made the wedding much more exciting than the usual wedding evening recipe of a covers band and DJ. Thanks.”
Jaz & Matt, Wedding - Clifton, Bristol - July 2022
“We had the most amazing night! The Bandaoke Experience went down a storm, I believe we had waiting lists after the sets finished. The band were amazing and professional and we can’t thank you enough!”

“…professional as well as fun and brilliant entertainment…”

Rhoda Walker, The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability - staff summer party - Putney, London - June 2022
“The Bandeoke Experience were the icing on the cake and really made the event special. Even those who swore they'd never get up and sing did and were so glad they did..”
We booked The Bandeoke Experience for our staff summer party and they were absolutely fantastic. We went for the 5-piece band and Dan was our lead man on the night with Julie on vocals. Both were amazing and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had the best time. After such a long break, it was brilliant for everyone just to get together, but The Bandeoke Experience were the icing on the cake and really made the event special. Even those who swore they'd never get up and sing did and were so glad they did. Over a week later people are still talking about it. Cannot recommend this band enough. Will definitely be booking again in the future.
Catherine, Alpha-Heating (repeat booking)
Staff Summer Party - Kent - June 2022
“Hi Ross, it was a smashing success! The team had so much fun and everyone thought the band was fantastic!”
I appreciate all your patience and guidance.
Leslie, Stripe - staff summer party, London - June 2022
“The Bandeoke Experience was simply all we could have asked for and more! Great sound and lights, a selection of songs to keep EVERYONE happy and get the party roaring! They certainly know how to work the crowd with the Yr11s / Yr13s students lapping it up from the very opening number.”
It was just a pleasure to work with Ross and The Bandeoke Experience. From the ease of booking and finance, to planning the event, Ross totally understood what we needed as we switched from a traditional hotel based Prom to a more funky, festival-ball vibe in the school Hall. Nothing was too much trouble. We could not have chosen better.
I should not have worried, the Bandeoke Experience had it all covered and some! So much so, the students said we should book for next year and the Year11s are already planning what to sing at their Yr13 event!
If you want an event where every student can shine then I thoroughly recommend the Bandeoke Experience. Never before would we have had groups of students and staff lead the party in song and dance with Hey Jude, Don’t Look Back In Anger, My Way, Country Roads, Dancing Queen Don’t Stop Me Know, Mr Brightside and Sweet Caroline and so many more! The musicians and vocalists in the band really do make you feel a million dollars (and help keep things tuneful!). Thank you Bandeoke Experience!
Jim Smith, head teacher, Clevedon School, Bristol - June 2022
“Hi Ross. Wow what a night. We loved it and so did everyone there. Thanks so much to Cat and Dan and all the band. They were brilliant. Nothing else to say other than that!!!”

Jess, Lintbells Ltd - staff summer party, Reading, Berkshire - June 2022

I hope the rest of the summer season is a success. Hopefully see you at another event soon.

“Best. Party. Ever.”
It was fantastic. Everyone loved it and had a great time. The band were simply the best and super professional. I wasn't expecting the lighting to be so good too. Can't rate these guys highly enough. The only thing I’d wish for next time is more time(!) as everyone was so keen to get behind the mic! Best. Party. Ever. Thanks so much Ross for all your help in setting this up and double thumbs up to Cat (a great compere and singer) and the band!
Thanks for all your help sourcing a venue too!

We had The Bandeoke Experience for our company Xmas function this year, and given the pandemic, it was vital that the team had a really good time and everything they required to do so! Bandeoke were recommended to us, and we are so glad that we chose to follow it up.

“The Bandeoke Experience exceeded our expectations and delivered a great interactive feature…”
The Bandeoke Experience exceeded our expectations and delivered a great interactive feature at our recent client celebration party – they did an amazing job! Working within provided host venue restrictions, they were flexible and professional in approach to provide the right solution. A great format and the guests had a great time. We were really impressed with how engaged the guests were – the band host singer only sang 1st song and then the guests got involved and sang while the band performed. A great service!

Thank you for making our day unforgettable.
Lauren and Shane, Wedding - Rookery Farm, Suffolk - Sept 2021
“…The atmosphere that the band created was amazing and everyone even the quiet ones got up on stage and had so much fun…”
We booked The Bandeoke Experience for our Summer Work party. In the weeks leading up to the party people seemed very reluctant to put a song choice down in preparation for the party. On the night as soon as the band kicked off everyone went wild with putting song choices in. The atmosphere that the band created was amazing and everyone even the quiet ones got up on stage and had so much fun. Would recommend to anyone very professional and a fabulous band.

“The Bandeoke Experience did an amazing job, the band were great fun, really encouraging to our guests and super tight, I would absolutely recommend you...”
Hey guys,
We just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to say how amazing the bandeoke was last Saturday. Our friends really loved it and we had loads of people signing up who we would never have guessed would be into it. You guys also did a fantastic job of adapting to when we and our guests accidentally "improvised" a little with the song structures - really impressive. The Bandeoke Experience did an amazing job, the band were great fun, really encouraging to our guests and super tight, I would absolutely recommend you.
Iain & Lyndsay Ure, Wedding - Wilton’s Music Hall, London - August 2021

“The band were ace and our guests loved having them as part of the event...”
The band were ace and our guests loved having them as part of the event - it certainly added to the feel we were aiming for. The song list was great. The band were unflappable as I minded my drunk uncle during a more rock and roll moment. We also appreciated them learning a song so close to our evening. The band were extremely relaxed with our schedule running behind time and we loved having them!

Michael L, Stag party - The Red Lion, Leytonstone, North East London - July 2021
“..from first contact until the final song of the night, my experience of The Bandeoke Experience was faultless..”
I booked for my 50th birthday party, and from first contact with Ross until the final song of the night, my experience of The Bandeoke Experience was faultless. I can only echo the majority of reviewers in saying that the musicianship is top-notch, the 'business' side of things was straightforward and easy, and every person I met or spoke to from TBE was incredibly friendly, helpful and supportive. My guests were unanimous in expressing what a fantastic night it was - you made my son and nephew (10 & 9) feel like rock gods during their rendition of 'We Will Rock You', and beautifully mitigated my mauling of 'Minnie The Moocher', (which the band learnt especially for the occasion). I unreservedly recommend them for any occasion, and will certainly be doing so for my corporate clients. Thanks guys!
Andy Thomas, 50th birthday party - The Rifle Club, Southsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire - February 2020
“..the band were fantastic and got a 'shy' crowd to really let their hair down…”
We booked The Bandeoke Experience for our daughters 30th birthday. Ross was very helpful and kept in touch before the actual event and answered any queries promptly. On the night the band were fantastic and got a 'shy' crowd to really let their hair down. It was a fabulous evening of music and fun. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. I would highly recommend The Bandeoke Experince and would definitely book them again.
Debbie Rayner, 30th birthday party - Brighton - February 2020
“the evening was amazing, it was truly brilliant…”
Hi Ross, I have been meaning to drop you a note, the evening was amazing, it was truly brilliant. The venue was great and the band set up looked fantastic.

I really do look forward to an opportunity to work with you and your very professional team again.

Hannah, Partridge of Hampshire (BMW dealer) - Corporate party, Southampton Harbour Hotel, Hampshire - January 2020
“Ours was a relatively small event for them and yet they gave us everything and I'm still buzzing days later!”
I had been wanting, for some years, to have a live karaoke band for my 40th birthday party. When I began researching I had no idea what to expect but choosing The Bandeoke Experience was easy as Ross was great to communicate with and I had no doubts about the band's professionalism. We all had the best time ever! Everyone wanted to be a part with requests pouring in and the dance floor full at all times! I fully recommend The Bandeoke Experience, if you are considering it I can assure you that you will not be disappointed! Ours was a relatively small event for them and yet they gave us everything and I'm still buzzing days later! Thank you!!!
Jess Jayna, 40th birthday party - Gloucestershire - January 2020
“I cannot recommend them more for a unique and interactive party experience!.”
The Bandeoke Experience was without a doubt one of the best staff Christmas Parties we have had. With over 200 employees, we’re a hard crowd to please, with that being said Ross and his talented band were amazing and turned the party into a concert atmosphere with everyone itching to get on the mic. Booking was easy and they answered all our questions. I cannot recommend them more for a unique and interactive party experience!

We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and you guys really made it for us! It was really tastefully done, the music was great, the atmosphere was perfect. I am sure we will be looking at re-booking for next year.
Maren, ICON Infrastructure, Xmas party - The May fair Hotel, Mayfair, London - December 2019
“It's the most fun thing to do for a party and the way they manage the singers and all the music is incredible..”
The band did such a brilliant job for my birthday. They were very thorough in the run up - making sure everything went smoothly on the night. Nothing was left to chance. They were so lovely to deal with and were so professional and fabulous all night. They got on with everything and dealt with the venue leaving me to enjoy myself! It's the most fun thing to do for a party and the way they manage the singers and all the music is incredible - they're all so talented. Everyone loved it! The BEST party!!!! Thank you so much Holly xxxx
Holly Burn, 40th birthday party - London - December 2019
Thank you so much for Thursday evening, everyone really enjoyed The Bandeoke Experience! Also please pass on our thanks to the rest of the band, the main singer was great! Everyone really enjoyed the whole night - 😊 it was great to see everyone getting involved and signing up. Thanks again.
Jess, WPP, Xmas party - Finsbury Square, London - December 2019
Thank you all for a great evening, the event was successful because of you all, the experience, the music, the singing, the BAND itself was just amazing, the whole team had a great night and was able to enjoy themselves without being shy, you guys have done a brilliant job. Very positive and friendly bunch of guys! And the whole process from booking was super easy and hassle free. I would recommend everyone to book The Bandeoke Experience and ‘Experience’ themselves! Thank you guys for everything! An amazing night, we hope you all enjoyed yourselves also as much as we did! See you in the next one!!!!
Ifra, Invicro, Xmas party - The 1829 Room @ The Princess Victoria, London - December 2019
“The Bandeoke Experience was fantastic…”
The Bandeoke Experience was fantastic. The set was great, as was the sound, and the music got everyone up from their seats, especially when they started to sing. I was expecting to struggle to fill the whole night with singers, but actually it was incredibly easy. Great entertainment. Highlights for me were the fact that they had everyone up and dancing all night. The energy and music was fantastic, and the turnaround of musicians meant that there were never any awkward silences. The service has been great, you were seamless at setting up and taking everything down, and made the whole night very easy. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Just wanted to say thank you for your performance on Tuesday. Everyone absolutely loved the night, amazing feedback keeps coming, some even said it was the best party we’ve ever had.
Kamila, Arup, Xmas party - St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London - December 2019
“EXTREMELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…”
Amazing!!! An astonishing evening. We only had about 20 “80s rockstars” in our audience but they were completely up for it. Incredibly professional, astonishing musicianship to deliver a huge sound that sounds like you are at your own stadium rock event... with the discerning eye noticing the turning down of the bad singers in the mix, the prompting of the brilliant compere Cat, Ross bringing people back into tune, really every song a triumph and the guests COULD NOT BELIEVE an evening intimately part of our very own rock band. This is now an annual event for us and people already working on their numbers for next years (we are thinking 90s)... EXTREMELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Brian, Corporate Event (undisclosed) - Cornwall - November 2019
Brilliant night at our recent wedding. Thanks to Ross and the rest of the band. You would not believe the number of guests that have commented on how much fun they had! Thanks again.

“Dan and the band were awesome for my 40th..”
Dan and the band were awesome for my 40th - opened with sympathy for the devil, closed with sweet child of mine - classic!
Everyone left wanting their own bandeoke experience party, even if they couldn’t pronounce it properly! Thanks guys!!
Will Littlewood, 40th birthday party - Kingston, Surrey - November 2019
“We booked the Bandeoke Experience for our wedding and could not be happier.”
Ross was absolutely on top of all the pre-wedding prep which really took any potential stress away; on the night itself he and the band (special mention to Julie the compere) directed the evening with so much professionalism and joy - making sure that everyone from my six-year-old niece to the slightly rowdier guests felt like an absolute rockstar with the microphone in hand. Will be booking them again for the anniversary party for sure!! 😄
Woon & Juliet Lee, Wedding - Ashridge House, Hertfordshire - October 2019

Great teamwork, amazing musicians and lead brilliant singer. It was perfect!
Angie Clayton, 50th birthday party - Northants - October 2019
“Everyone wanted to do it. The band made it completely accessible for everyone and it really made the night…”
The standard of the band was so high. They were all super friendly and very impressive musicians. I was a bit worried that our guests would be a bit intimidated to do Bandeoke, but I was completely wrong. Everyone wanted to do it. The band made it completely accessible for everyone and it really made the night. It was such a fantastic evening thanks, in a major way, to The Bandeoke Experience. I would definitely do it again. Loved it!
Carly & Mike Crockford, Wedding - Bath, Somerset - September 2019
“we didn’t want it to end…”
We all had an absolutely fantastic night and didn’t want it to end. It really was a night we will remember and I would highly recommend the whole set up to anyone that asks 😊 - I will keep you in mind for any other events that we do hold as it is a real crowd pleaser!
Harriett, Unilever International Europe, Team Event - Kingston upon Thames, Surrey - Sept 2019
“I will book these guys again and again! Thank you, you were perfect!!”
What a fantastic evening! Our Team kick-off entertainment supplied by the completely fabulous Bandeoke Experience! I loved the engagement with our audience, leading to many "acts" volunteering and enjoying the experience of singing with a live band! I will never go back to regular Karaoke now - but I will book these guys again and again! Thank you, you were perfect!!

“Happy to say my expectations were far exceeded and the evening was a total success.”
I recently booked The Bandeoke Experience for my office’s summer party. Ross was extremely professional and I had complete faith the activity would go well.
Happy to say my expectations were far exceeded and the evening was a total success. The setup, lighting, sound and atmosphere created was fantastic. I have received nothing but positive feedback. Even from those who usually hate central stage were fighting for the microphone by the end of the night! Thank you Ross and band!
Fay, AC Luxe, Summer Staff Party - Steam Wine Bar, London EC3 - July 2019
“…far exceeded even my own expectations…”
I (and we all) thought you were fantastic. The way things went down with all the teams far exceeded even my own expectations and I’ve had absolutely glowing feedback across the board from how much people enjoyed it both in York and at Ardencote. I will certainly consider using you again at appropriate future events and be recommending you within our business, with contacts I have in the wider business community and with friends.

The whole process from start to finish was super professional with quick communication and nothing too much trouble.”

Thank you so much to your amazing band!!! Cat and Dan were so professional and looked after us so well!!! I can not sing their praises highly enough!!!! It truly was an incredible experience. Please pass on my thanks to them. We are now thinking for an excuse to book you again! 41 st birthday doesn't quite have the same ring to it!? got to think of something else. Thank you so much and hope to see your band again very soon!!!
Helene & Zoe, joint 40th birthday party - Edenbridge, Kent - June 2019
“As you might have gathered on the night, we were really pleased with how it went and our people loved it - everyone I spoke to afterwards and yesterday had thoroughly enjoyed it. The lighting and sound were great, the volume level worked well in the room and the IT also behaved so good clear lyrics. You stepped in when people got lost to get them back on track and the band adapted well to go with those that went astray, missed verses etc.”
Mike Martin, Group Director - TL Dallas, The Grand York - June 2019
“Absolutely brilliant. We had a ball. Great band, fabulous hostess who got the crowd going, and Ross even did the sound check and lent the sound equipment for me and my band to play first. Ross was a joy to deal with from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. Worth every penny!”
Brian Dilley, 50th Birthday party
De Vere Theobalds Estate, Hertfordshire - May 2019
“I couldn't be more grateful to the Bandeoke Experience for making our party the best Company party ever.”
Although at first a little scared and apprehensive, our team quickly warmed up by really ruining some old school anthems with their awful singing. Thank goodness the band were wonderful and carried our broken tunes into history. We can't stop talking and laughing about it, reminiscing on one of the best weekends we've had in a long time. What a show. Thank you to Ross for helping us organise, and Dan for running it perfectly on the night. See you all next year, without a doubt.

“A lovely bunch of chaps who made the first night for us with an unforgettable set. What a night!“
We booked the band to perform at my brothers stag do last Friday night. They were BRILLIANT. They smashed out the classics and even learnt some particularly niche songs for us (Arab Strap) and nailed them. A lovely bunch of chaps who made the first night for us with an unforgettable set. What a night!

“We hired Bandeoke for a corporate event and everyone had a ball!”
I was concerned people would be shy of joining in, but if anything it was hard to keep them down. Feedback from what can be a tough audience was overwhelmingly positive - 75% rated them Excellent/Very Good. Highly recommended!

“You guys were fab. Such a delight to work with…”
In the run up to a party you made it as little stressful as possible for us, liaising brilliantly and directly with the venue over technical queries etc. So much appreciated our end when we had so much to co-ordinate. We loved your music and the bandeoke worked a dream. Thank you thank you.

“Bandeoke exceeded my expectations!”
Your flexibility in regards to set up and the time limitations we had we much appreciated. Your musicians were excellent, the kept the flow of the evening going well. It was great liaising with you in the run up and I very much appreciated your direct contact with the venue. When the client said karaoke, I was not convinced. Bandeoke gave us a much more professional option which wouldn't dive if we had no singers in camp! This made it a lot less stressful :) Thank you Ross to you and your team! Everyone had a great night and I was surprised by the number of willing volunteers :)

“A truly great evening which will be tough to top!”
Your show was everything I thought it would be...actually, it exceeded all my expectations! What a fantastic night!
The band were so professional and really friendly and encouraging! Everyone had such a wonderful time! It was great to hear the band perform before we all got up to have a go ourselves - it really put people at ease and made them want to get up and join in!
We were all so happy with the evening - everyone enjoyed the night and they were still mentioning it when we came back from the Christmas break! I can't thank the band enough for putting on such a great night of entertainment...and for letting me unleash my inner Alanah Myles! A truly great evening which will be tough to top! Thank you so much for sharing your talent, experience and professionalism - you allowed our hardworking team to really enjoy a well-deserved night of fun! 10 out of 10!
PS: I'm hiring you for my 40th birthday! Most people dread the big 4-0 but I'm actually looking forward to it now! Roll on next year! :-)

“This was our third time hiring BE and once again they did a fantastic job!”
The band were very flexible in accommodating us, especially given that our meal overran and so we started later than expected. This was tremendously helpful in keeping the evening running smoothly. BE kept in regular contact in the run-up to the event as well as on the day, and as always were well-prepared and played superbly.

Hi Ross
I just wanted to say thank you to yourselves and your band mates for helping make Laura's 40th birthday party a massive success. Everyone I have spoken to, have said just how good you guys were and helped to make it such a successful evening.
Myself and Laura were delighted and couldn't have asked for more from you.
I would like to thank you for your professional approach from day one, for going out of your way to assist with Jason Donovan and for being so organised on the evening.
I wouldn't hesitate to engage your services again and I am very happy to act as a reference point should anyone wish to speak with a satisfied client. Please feel free to quote relevant elements of this email on your website and social media.
I hope our paths cross again in the future Ross, please pass on my thanks to your colleagues (especially Carly, who was so helpful on the night).

Hey Ross, thanks to you and your band for a terrific evening. All our guests had an amazing time and so did we. The band were great! Very positive and friendly people who all played really well. I loved that you guys entered the spirit of the performance and made our guests feel really welcome when it was their turn to sing. The communication all the way through to the lead up to the day was great and put me at ease which was one less thing for a bride to worry about. All our guests really loved the Bandeoke and had a wicked time at the wedding. I think this was the perfect choice for our wedding and meant loads of people got involved. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Bandeoke Experience for other events.
Thanks for all your hard work and for making our wedding a night to remember!

"It really is a once in a life time experience that you should book every year!"
If you want to guarantee your party goes with a swing book these guys. We booked them for our wedding reception as we really wanted to have a band and the option for guests to join in. Like all couples getting married you worry about people having a good time and getting on the dance floor. The opposite happened thanks to Ross and the team. From the first song there wasn't enough room on the dance floor and so many people wanted to sing with a live band we had to extend the night. In truth we wanted to extend all night! The booking communication was great and they can play anything! The equipment and sound was fantastic but it is the band members that make it. Friends came to us the next day to thank us because when can you sing with a massive band at full volume! It really is a once in a life time experience that you should book every year! Thank you Bankeoke Experience!
Gordon & Jan Tait - Wedding - Lainston House, Winchester - July 2018
"...their level of service was fantastic..."
From the very first conversation with ‘The Bandeoke Experience’, their level of service was fantastic. This made it very easy for me to make the decision to hire them for my 40th Birthday Party. Ross and the guy’s arrived on the day at the exact time they said they would. They set up with no fuss and were professional at every point of the day/night. It goes without saying that my party was a huge success, all my guest had a fantastic time as did I. I have no hesitation in recommending ‘The Bandeoke Experience’ to anyone.
Simeon - 40th birthday - Bushey, Hertfordshire - July 2018

“…surpassed any expectations we had right from the very start…”
I hired the Bandeoke Experience for a corporate event. Ross and the team surpassed any expectations we had right from the very start. Not everyone is a fan of typical karaoke and it can be difficult when catering for all tastes in a large group (250), but it was so well executed that even those who had reservations thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment. The band are very talented and professional and their passion and enjoyment really shone through and made for a great show. The variety of songs meant there was something for everyone. Bandeoke is the way forward! Thank you for making our event one to remember, for all the right reasons!

"The Bandeoke Experience met our expectations and more!"
We were very impressed with the bands personality and patience! It was really great to see how well their compere was able to assist the delegates when they had lost their way and the band kept the timings. I think the team’s organisation the full way through the event was great. I can see how much effort you put in to making each event a success. A huge thank you for a great event, I really didn't expect so many people to get involved, you did a wonderful job!

Hi Ross,
I wanted to reach out to say a massive thank you to yourself and the rest of the band. We have had fantastic feedback from the client and some of the delegates on the conference including the Awards and Gala Dinner. I think we can safely say based on the crowd chanting for more at the end of the evening that the room enjoyed The Bandeoke Experience!

"We could not have been more delighted..."
We book this band for my 60th birthday party and could not have been more delighted. They dealt with our enquiry extremely efficiently and kept in regular contact leading up to the event. They arrived in plenty of time, were fully set up well prior to our meal and couldn’t of done more to please us and our guests. The quality of the music was excellent, the pace of the evening perfect and everyone enjoyed it. All we need now is an excuse to book them again. Strongly recommend them.

“Exceptional from start to finish, I cannot recommend highly enough.”
Hire these guys! I had a party after our wedding, on a Mississippi steamer down the Thames. I looked at a lot of rockaoke bands, including a more popular one regularly used by the boat company, but I have to say, from the first email, the Bandeoke Experience stood out and I was convinced they would deliver. On the night, my confidence was repaid: they delivered a stunning night, and being the organiser I really appreciated the regular and professional contact. Exceptional from start to finish, I cannot recommend highly enough.

Ross and the band are extremely professional and talented musicians and being the second year in a row that we use them they never fail to impress.

“We hired The Bandeoke Experience for a client event a few weeks ago in Barcelona and they were brilliant!”
All the delegates had a great time singing along and getting on stage with their various teams/countries/regions. It's a unique but brilliant concept where you can experience and combine Karaoke with a live band on stage. They had such a good time, that they wanted the band to continue playing throughout the night, but all good things comes to an end, unfortunately. Overall my client was very happy and I would definitely recommend hiring them if you want something a bit different, memorable and fun!

You are great musicians! It was really stress free organising this because Ross sent through so much information and was so responsive on email. That's why I booked you and I really appreciate this. Thank you.

"It is actually the second time we have hired them..."
We hired The Bandeoke Experience for a work event and it was such a fab night, it really did make our evening. Everyone at the event has had nothing but positive things to say about them during the evening and the next day. It is actually the second time we have hired them and when those that had experienced them previously found out they were coming back, they were excited & looking forward to it. It really does bring something different to either just hiring a band or just having karaoke and made so many more people go up and sing that wouldn't do normally (myself included!)
Thanks for such a good night, I'm sure we will be hiring you again!

I have used Milo Max and the Bandeoke Experience for two of my corporate events for my Legal clients. They are totally awesome, professional and loved by anyone who has the luck of experiencing them in action. My only complaint is that I don't run enough events to use them more! Ross and his team are troopers because if they can cope with me they should be able to cope with even the most challenging of requests/requests. Bandeoke Rocks!

The set up on the night looked and sounded fantastic and the star cloth absolutely transformed the room. All our guests loved the Bandeoke experience, and even though not everyone was brave enough to get up on stage they all enjoyed singing along in the crowd! You really made the evening flow and all of our guests enjoyed themselves. The ending was perfect and a moment that will stay with us forever.
Ross, thank you for all your help in the lead up and for putting us both at ease. We didn't have to worry at all about the band set up, which made everything that little bit easier! Everything was so smooth and professional, we really appreciated it.
Once again thank you so much for making our day awesome!

Hi Ross, just a short note to say a huge thank you for ensuring we had such a fantastic evening, we were celebrating and you made that easy... The band were brilliant, professional and with a range of songs that engaged everyone in a fun, not intimidating way. Singing live on stage rather than into a machine is just a brilliant way to do Karaoke, no one was left out, we lost a few voices and everyone went home happy. A perfect evening in no small part down to you and the team, thanks again. Brilliant ... professional and engaging from start to finish. If you want a great, fun night that brings people together you couldn't do better! Yours,

Dear Ross, thank you so much for making our party so wonderful. From the minute I was in touch with you, your calm reassuring advice was spot on. You were very clear on your requirements which made setting up our home easy. Your vocalist was fantastic and supportive without being condescending and everyone remarked on what a supportive environment it was.
You were all lovely and it was a pleasure to have you in our home and I couldn't have wished more for my 50th birthday. I'd be delighted to recommend you and your business whole heartedly. Many thanks again.

"...It. Was. EPIC..."
Hi Ross, I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you so much for such a great night on Saturday. We and our guests had such a fantastic night, the party is going to stay in people memories for a looooong time! It. Was. EPIC. It was everything we hoped it would be and more, we received loads of messages yesterday saying that the performance of Killing In The Name Of was their highlight. Thanks again,

"...We were really impressed with the Bandeoke Experience; the team were professional, enthusiastic and fully embraced the 80’s theme of our event.."
I want to say a huge thanks for everything on Tuesday and ahead of the event too. You did a great job of keeping everything together – despite some odd mid-performance requests from guests!
We were really impressed with the Bandeoke Experience; the team were professional, enthusiastic and fully embraced the 80’s theme of our event. It’s such a great concept that works seamlessly and our guests loved the opportunity to sing on stage at the Hammersmith Apollo -what an evening! Thank you Bandeoke Experience!

"...our client absolutely loved it and you definitely exceeded my expectations..."
Hi Ross, your show was a great addition to the evening, our client absolutely loved it and you definitely exceeded my expectations. It’s amazing that you managed to get the 4 members of the executive committee up onto the stage! This has never been seen before! I think the format that you have works extremely well. The selection of songs that you provide is great and everyone in the band is very good at what they do!
Thank you for providing such a fun entertaining evening for the delegates, every single person really enjoyed themselves and you were great to work with in the lead up and during the event. Thanks again and we will definitely be contacting you again soon!

Corporate Conference (global pharmaceutical) - Hilton, Vienna, Austria - January 2017
"...the standard of musicianship was top drawer and in many ways for those up on the stage it was like playing a gig, not doing karaoke, which is frankly brilliant.."
Whilst we were excited and kind of had an idea of how live karaoke could work, The Bandeoke Experience found a way to surprise and delight us and our guests! The evening was pretty flawless from start to finish. The band were great in helping us sort out the logistics, pick songs, work with the guests at the party and….which is important….they rocked! We were a little worried that there would be reluctance to get up and sing….no chance. Literally after the first song (the birthday boy+wife) the songs and singers flowed. Each brilliantly played by the band, with support, tips and cheerleading from the group as well. The kit used is simple to follow, the lyrics there for those who may not know them by heart, and the experience overall was top drawer. Particularly the birthday boy was delighted to be able to sing his favourite song in front of friends and family, learnt by the band as a surprise, and played immaculately. He fancies going on tour with the band now!
The band really helped to keep the songs flowing, the standard of musicianship was top drawer and in many ways for those up on the stage it was like playing a gig, not doing karaoke, which is frankly brilliant. We could not have asked for more from the band. There was a song for everyone….but like anything probably we could have sung on for so much longer!
We wanted to thank you again Ross for how organised, honest and helpful you were when planning this event. Your tips, feedback and advice really went a long way to making the night a success.
We were so delighted with the evening and your help before and for the night itself. We could not recommend you more highly and would have you guys at all our parties!

"...All songs were played to a great standard and the AV set-up made it easy for everyone to get involved.."
Firstly, thank you very much for playing a couple of weeks ago, your set was great and everyone had loads of fun. We all thought we were excellent singers until we watched the videos back in the morning!
We were impressed the professionalism of the whole band, of the great setup, and how flexible you were able to be within the venue. All songs were played to a great standard and the AV set-up made it easy for everyone to get involved. It definitely helped that you were on a second mic and able to help out when our guests missed their cues etc.

"...Thanks again for a cracking night. It was loved by all.."
Hi Ross Your show most definitely met our expectations - it was well thought-out and put together. The set was impressive with the range of equipment, and the songs were diverse to hit most tastes. We were worried we wouldn’t have a great up take on people singing, but needn’t have. We were really impressed and would definitely consider you again for future events. Thanks again for a cracking night. It was loved by all.

"...It was the perfect entertainment for our Christmas party.."
Dear Ross, a huge thanks to you and all the team for putting on such a fantastic show for us this Christmas. As I imagine you were able to tell you went down a storm!
The whole operation was professional from the very beginning. The band are fantastic, and there is a great song selection meaning everyone will find something they want to sing! It was the perfect entertainment for our Christmas party.
Communication in the run up to the event was prompt, helpful and professional and installed a lot of confidence in the planning stages. On site the whole team were wonderful, and we could all tell that we were in very good hands!
A huge, huge thank you and a very Merry Christmas to you all.

"...You really did make my event ‘the party of the year’.."
Hi Ross, my 40th only happens once and I wanted to make sure it was one to be remembered. The Bandeoke Experience definitely made sure of that. Your band were so professional prior to the event and on the night, and at the end of the night you all took down very quietly without anyone noticing. You really did make my event ‘the party of the year’ and all the guests have commented on how good you are.
I am waiting for an excuse to use you again and I can’t wait! Thanks for everything.

"...I was extremely pleased. Great energy, loads of fun and very inclusive.."
This was my first experience with ‘The Bandeoke Experience’, and I was extremely pleased. Great energy, loads of fun and very inclusive. We were very impressed with the musicianship of each band member and the ability to make all guest singers sound good. Well done. Honestly, it was one of the best parties we have had at MIPCOM. The energy level of the band was fantastic; the music selection was spot on and it sounded great. Thank you for your professionalism.

You were very helpful in the run up to the event and I appreciate that you were very accommodating with your time. This went a long way to ensuring we got the best from the night so thank you.

"...We would definitely book Milo Max & The Bandeoke Experience again.."
- so many guests have commented on the band and how good they were. Communication leading up to our day was outstanding; on the day the band were unobtrusive, arrived in very good time and set up quietly; we were very impressed with their behaviour. We would and have recommended them to many.. Really easy to talk to and were very flexible . The sound system was really high speck; many guests including our Dj commented on how professional they were and how good the sound system was. We loved the music and from the moment they started playing guests were up and dancing.

We had a corporate party with The Bandeoke Experience last night and I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Ross and the band for an incredible night! The guys were absolutely brilliant and a complete resounding success! Lisa did a great job of getting everything going and keeping momentum.

"...I thought it was fantastic entertainment.."
Hi Ross, thank you very much to you and the team for a great night, I thought it was fantastic entertainment. Even though we had a slightly smaller crowd everyone was up and wanting to sing by the end of the evening, the chanting of “one more song!” at the end of the night definitely showed how much they enjoyed it. The improvisation of some songs was excellent; we didn’t have the 5-piece band yet still you guys managed to do some songs that could have proved really tricky! Thanks once again for all your work!

"...When I heard you warming up as I was getting ready I knew that it was going to come together and that band were going to be brilliant..."
Hi Ross, just wanted to say a big thanks to you and the band for a fantastic night on Saturday - what excellent musicians you all are. When I heard you warming up as I was getting ready I knew that it was going to come together and that band were going to be brilliant. I would particularly like to highlight your generosity and attitude towards the "singers". Everyone commented on how the band got the best out of all of us, supporting with backing vocals when necessary and then allowing the more confident singers to let rip. I would also like to say a big thanks for adapting the DJ set-list to suit my tastes and will add that you were totally professional from the very first enquiry I made right through until the last piece of equipment was packed into the van. I really hope we will see you again.

50th Birthday Party - Cheltenham, Cotswolds - April 2016
"...We really could not have had a better evening.."
Ross, we did not have chance last night to thank the band for a fantastic evening. We really could not have had a better evening. All of the band members were extremely professional, and the evening ran so smoothly with Lisa as the compère. She was so good at assisting all the ' singers' and made everyone feel at ease. It was such a great night. Please pass on our gratitude to all the band, I am sorry we did not say goodbye. Many thanks we would highly recommend you.

"...I can't begin to tell you what a huge difference you all made to the evening.."
Dear Ross and band members, I am Vicky’s mum and along with 120 other happy people attended Vicky's birthday party on Saturday. I can't begin to tell you what a huge difference you all made to the evening.
As a young "pensioner", I was dubious about the concept - I imagined it would sound a lot like a drunken brawl! Wow! We were all blown away by your musicianship, subtle stage presence and as for your lead singer, she was so skilled at assisting and encouraging singers, though not taking over. It left everyone speechless.
So many people have commented about the fun they had - and not just those taking part, but those listening too. The night sped by and was far too short, thanks to your input into the evening.
I can't thank you enough for making Vicky's party such a fun event. There were a great many happy, drunk people raving about her party as they finally made their way home at 2am. Many, many thanks.

"...The Bandeoke Experience was far better than I could have imagined.."
Hi Ross, I wanted to say a massive thank you to yourself and the rest of the band for an outstanding evening! You made my husband’s 40th birthday a truly memorable and fun event, for him and all our friends. For someone who loves karaoke, the Bandeoke Experience was far better than I could have imagined. Everyone has said what a fantastic fun and entertaining evening it was. You may well have guessed that Stuart absolutely loved being able to sing on stage with you guys and had a great 40th birthday.
The fact that you cater for different confidence and experience levels i.e. you can sing the whole song, the backing vocals and you were there to help out if singers got lost along the way is brilliant. I think it gave people more confidence to take part and have fun without looking silly.
Ross, you and the team were extremely professional and very accommodating and we would definitely recommend you to anyone thinking of something a bit different and way more fun! Thanks again for helping us celebrate. I wish you and the band every success for the future. Kind regards

Hi Ross, we've had nothing but positive feedback regarding the Bandeoke Fresher’s night, so thanks once again for making it happen. There was great enthusiasm from students to perform, even from those who didn’t perform themselves, and you did a great job at reassuring the students when they were shy at first. We thought the song menu was well-balanced and well received too. I'm glad you also had a good time with us, and here's to future cooperation!

"The Bandeoke Experience exceeded my expectations, the full band set up and professionalism of the show was impressive!"
As was the student engagement - we didn’t supply a DJ or additional ‘host’ for the night so I was a little worried that students wouldn’t have the confidence to get up and give it a go without some encouragement but the band did this really well – they even did a few extra songs to try and accommodate as many people as possible.
We were really happy with the act from initial enquiry through to the show. Another big thank you, it was great having you back at Roehampton again.

"...A thousand thank you's to you all for helping us have such fun and take away so many brilliant memories of our big day..."
We wanted Kareoke to feature in our wedding and loved the idea of singing with a live band.. ..through the whole process you were timely, supportive and generally excellent. You really flexed according to the ability of the singers so no-one felt like an idiot up the stage. Apart from weaker singers (ourselves) we also had some really gifted singers at our reception and we loved how much you riffed with them and helped them shine.
Our guests all loved Bandeoke and have made reference to how much they enjoyed it in the messages we've received since our big day. Our guests having their 5 minutes of fame have also given us some of the best photo's from the day too. A thousand thank you's to you all for helping us have such fun and take away so many brilliant memories of our big day.

"…The show was brilliant.."
We liked the idea of Bandeoke and wanted something fun for the wedding. Communication before the wedding was excellent and far exceeded expectations with good advice on things we hadn't even considered.
Apart from being excellent musicians and providing great music, the way they supported those who got up to sing was brilliant, picking up the lyrics if someone lost their place until they got themselves together again.
The show was brilliant, everyone commented on how good it was. A big thank you to you all from my initial enquiry, the good advice given and the great fun everyone had on the night!

Dear Ross, We needed some form of fun interactive entertainment to follow our work "All Hands" presentation; we knew we were looking for Bandaoke and you guys seemed like a good option. Your communication before hand was very good, especially considering the short time frame and rush as we waited until the last minute to make a decision. At the event you guys were very friendly and flexible. You got the tone spot on and we really appreciated you getting people going in the early stages of the event, by the end you had the whole room rocking and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the band!
Thanks and very best,

The Bandeoke Experience have a really wide range of songs and sounded really good on the demo’s on their website, but were even better live! Really friendly and helpful when I started dealing with Ross; overall communications were excellent - quick and helpful, and prepared to be flexible. We lost a bit of time at the start as the venue manager was late opening, but they played an extra half hour to make up for this. Everyone who interacted with them were very complimentary and everyone has been going on about how amazing the whole evening was.
You guys were amazing, can you pass my sincere thanks on to the rest of the band. My memory is sketchy towards the end of the evening, but I hope you enjoyed it as much as me and my friends did. I wanted to go into my 40's with a bang - and you nailed it for me!

Belated thanks for the gig at my 50th in Lewes the other week.

"..your whole approach was very professional but also really friendly.."
Ross, just a quick note to say thanks so much to you and your band for Saturday night in Pinner. I thought your whole approach was very professional but also really friendly - quite how you coped with Uncle George's Suspicious Minds I will never know!
Thanks.

"..a top-notch night.."
We would like to thank the Bandeoke Experience for such a top-notch night for our wedding reception earlier this month. The mix between bandeoke and covers was perfect and all our guests had a thoroughly good time - thanks again, and we look forward to finding new excuses to hire you guys!

"I just wanted to say a massive massive thank you for last night."
Everyone is raving about how amazing it was, and I have to be honest we were very nervous about whether it would work, but as you could tell it was an absolute stonking success!

‘The best Christmas Party I’ve ever been to’!
Ross, I just had to drop you a line to say thank you so much for making our party - and I’m quoting a number of the guests - ‘the best Christmas Party I’ve ever been to’! Firstly for all the work and effort you put in during the run-up to our event, always with a really helpful and can-do approach. And then on the night, I can safely speak on behalf of each and every person there when I say we all had an absolute ball. Obviously all the vocalists enjoyed hugely the opportunity to sing with such an amazing band. And the rest of the guests found it all thoroughly entertaining. I could go on but I’ll leave it there for fear of gushing too much….!!

I had such a great time, and I thought it was a really fun and unique way to show us what a great ‘team’ you have at Paragon.

..."Don't think I have seen such participation/reaction from an audience for a long time..."
A big thank you from Carol and I for a great evening on Friday. Don't think I have seen such participation/reaction from an audience for a long time. Think you have a very marketable idea - a band is much better than a recorded bit of music in so many ways - better sound, can interact with the singer and the singer gets prompted!!
All in all a memorable night so thank you, to all those who organised the do plus of course the vocalists.
