Bride Jodie’s Review

5 star review – Punch the air performed at my wedding this Saturday just gone and I honestly could not recommend them highly enough. From the initial booking inquiry to the actual day the communication and smooth process was absolutely amazing. They turned up lovely and early and were set up ready to go at the time we had arranged. They were also exceptionally fast in responding to any questions I had leading up to the day I’m we’re exceptionally accommodating with any songs that we especially wanted to be played. On the day we and the guests absolutely loved them and they really brought the dance floor to life. They have an excellent repertoire and brought a really fun and engaging atmosphere. You honestly won’t regret booking them and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them for an event again and hopefully we’ll be able to attend an event where they are playing thanks again so much for making our day so special !

Bride & Groom Testimonial 

Hi All, Andy and the band played our wedding on 28th May this year at Sparth House in Lancashire. Boring bits first Andy was great to deal with from the initial enquiry, to the contracts and then our choice of set lists! All made very easy in a relaxed manner, even though we were quite a late booking!
Now the more fun bit, the lads turned up early (treated them to a pot of tea as we finished our wedding breakfast), they were spot on from minute one in set up and prep. On performance they were absolutely brilliant – out guests couldn’t get enough! dance floor was full from start to end of the performance. They played everything we had asked for and then even more! Completely too our taste of indie/rock and even some older tracks for the rest, they just went with the flow of the evening!
Absolute pleasure to meet them, made a genuine effort to come over and get to know us as best they could, and truly hope at some point me and Lisa can see them again live, just to reminisce about our special day!
Thank you all, strongly recommend 5* – Adam Smith

When you’re looking for wedding musicians, you aren’t just booking a playlist; you’re looking for the energy that keeps your guests on the dance floor until the very last chord. Since 2013, we’ve learned that the best weddings happen when the music feels personal, shifting from those classic floor-fillers everyone knows by heart to the high-octane indie anthems that make a night truly legendary. We don’t just ‘play a gig’; we handle the atmosphere from start to finish, ensuring that whether it’s a quiet moment during the drinks or a packed-out evening reception, the music fits the ‘vibe’ of your crowd perfectly.

In this epic 17 minute Mega Vlog 006 we’re calling ‘Four Gigs In Three Days’. See what a weekend in the life of professional wedding musicians looks like from our point of view. Watch band leader and professional musician Andy Starkey over the space of one weekend perform at a wedding and also a birthday party. Furthermore two beer festivals, solo, duo with his party bands ‘Punch The Air‘ and also ‘Britpop Reunion‘. This what life is like on the road for professional wedding musicians week in week out. Contact Andy to hire wedding musicians for your reception party to check on availability and price for your event.

Hire Wedding Musicians

This is what Andy & indie rock wedding band ‘Punch The Air’ (and his other band ‘Britpop Reunion‘) get up to every weekend at weddings. So in the above video Andy decided to give you a long look Vlog style into what goes on from his side of things when you book him for a wedding or party. Have you ever seen another wedding band put this much effort into proving to potential clients like yourself what they do week in week out? We’re pretty sure you won’t have.

Below is a shorter version of just the ‘Punch The Air‘ wedding performance as a Staffordshire Wedding Band at Hoar Cross Hall. This is what your wedding reception will look like too when you hire wedding musicians Punch The Air.

The Truth of Vlogging 

There is no other party band out there producing videos of this calibre. Bands that constantly proving what they do on a regular basis. Everything you see and hear is 100% completely live in our vlog. Why would you even look at another party band with less experience than us? Ones that don’t spend that extra time producing videos like ours? We are professional wedding musicians in our field which is shown by the amount of work we are offered and the types of work we will accept. 

The Effort to Vlog as Wedding Musicians

Imagine managing a band, dealing with all the brides and grooms enquiries and bookings. Also when arriving at a wedding venue setting up equipment and also putting on brilliant live performances. All the while videoing what goes on at the same time? Then imagine the amount of hours that go in afterwards. Edit all the video and audio. Furthermore creating a Vlog story about the event. This is why Andy Starkey is a professional in his field and all of this is what he does full time for a living. Andrew Starkey is constantly finding new ways to prove to you that he and his bands are the best at what they do. Don’t you think its worth paying that little bit extra for a premium wedding band now?

The Rewards Of Booking Professionals

When you book Andy and ‘Punch The Air‘ you know you’re going to get a brilliant bunch of friendly musicians. A professional wedding band who can get everyone up on the dance-floor enjoying themselves. We significantly engage with the bride, groom and guests and don’t ever rely on music stands or tablets to read music from. We’ve proven how much fun guests have with us time and time again in all of our live videos and Vlogs. Every single problem you could possibly encounter that might crop up at a performance we’ve had experience in handling. Whether its volume limits, power outages or very drunk guests. Or no space to perform in or controlling tricky feedback. We’ve successfully managed all these scenarios and also most importantly kept the show going.
