Absolutely Unreal
Me and Rob just wanted to drop you an email to again tell you how absolutely unreal the band are. The guys were absolutely amazing. From start to finish, faultless. Created such a brilliant atmosphere, the music was spot on. We loved every minute of it and genuinely didn't want the night to end. Thank you for making it a day we'll never forget.

We knew your guys were going to be good but seriously they smashed our expectations and so many of our guests have told us it’s the best band at a wedding they’ve ever experienced.

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW! Guaranteed the first thing that anyone says to us when chatting about our wedding day is… “how good were your band?” We booked our band through for our wedding and they were unbelievable, the dance floor was full the entire night and the music was perfect for what the guests wanted. The band arrived well in time, had everything set up without anyone noticing and took our evening party to the next level!

A message for The RUSH! You made our wedding party better than expected. Every single person that came said how much fun they had and how good the band was. You played such a good range of music from start to finish and got everyone involved on the dance floor, dancing all night long. Im so glad we added on a DJ for after the band, apologies for the amount of requests! We just want to say a huge thank you for the whole night, it couldn't have been better.

Incredible band!
Wow! What an incredible band! I cannot recommend them highly enough. We had so many cancellations due to covid and Gavin kept rearranging for us, he was amazing from start to finish and we finally got the band at our festival style wedding party last weekend. Every guest commented on how good they were and they totally made our night! Thank you xx

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

It's difficult to pinpoint for Bandtube as we are not at the actual wedding, other acts will be performing for the couple, but my band The RUSH play about 120 weddings a year, and I see so many that it's difficult to pick one out. As a band we are really lucky, I think as most of our weddings are extremely raucous! Sometimes it feels like we are playing at a big festival!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Happy, Content, Ambitious, Professional, Smiley

What about your business are you most proud of?

When you receive testimonials from couples and they use phrases like 'best day of our lives' and 'our guests can't stop talking about it'that really means something

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Do everything as early as you can, especially the main things; photographer, videographer, band - these things get booked way in advance and in order to get the supplier that you want after searching, you need to book early. Also, on the day try not to stress over minor details going wrong - as long as the ceremony goes ahead, everyone is fed and the place is bouncing at night - what is the point in worrying!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I've seen some incredible room dressing, one wedding in particular was like a rainforest with giraffe's and monkeys dotted about the place! hats off to Red Floral Architecture for that one!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

From initial enquiry, I'm on hand to take information about style of music and budget, and then from there I can recommend acts to suit that couple. If they are looking for something a bit quirky and out of the ordinary, I usually know how to organise that as well even if its not on the website or is completely out of left field . Then, when the couple have made a decision, we are in to sorting out the contracts and getting the act booked for the date. Subsequent to that, it's about fielding queries and liaising with act and couple to answer questions. Nearer to the wedding date, I insist the act speak directly to the couple so that nothing gets missed and they can organise finer details like first dance etc.

What makes a romantic first dance?

I'm not sure romantic first dances are the best, I prefer when people choose something that they can dance to and everyone can sing along with them. I've had many were there has been a mashup of 2 tracks - they work quite well. I even had one personally where the groom asked us to pretend to mess the first dance up, and then kick in to an absolute banger!

What is your number one floor-filler?

Different bands will have different answers to this, for my particular band it would be either Eminem - Lose Yourself or our Queen Medley (including Bohemian Rhapsody)

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

David Bowie's - what it must have been like to watch him first hand change music and fashion on his own

What is the soundtrack to your life?

Anything from The 1975
