Your Kettering Athletic Club wedding band, and how the evening runs
We are an indie rock wedding band, but that does not mean the evening is only for people who own a stack of guitar records. Yes, there are the big indie anthems, but there are also classics from the 50s right through to the 20s, so the younger guests, the parents and the work friends all get a look in. Nobody ends up stood at the edge of the room checking their phone.
Most couples ask us to play one long set once the cake has been cut and the buffet has been cleared away. There are no distractions by then and you get the best of the band while everyone is fed, watered and ready to go. That said if you would rather we performed two sets instead then this really isn’t an issue for us. It’s your wedding so you should always have it your way.

Something for the older guests too from your Kettering Athletic Club Wedding Band
Weddings are mixed crowds, so we make sure there is plenty for everyone. Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen and Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd tend to pull in the guests who swore they were only staying for one drink. You can read what past couples have said on our live party band reviews page, and there are more clips on the party band videos page.
We also work with no agency in the middle, so you deal directly with Andy from first enquiry to the last song. You can read more about how that works on our no agency fees wedding band page.
