TESTIMONIALS

Below are a selection of testimonials from happy clients. We’ve played over 750 events and pride ourselves on our 5 star reviews.

Epic. Smashed it, we were never in any doubt.
They were fun, the trumpet call beckoning everyone to the dance floor for the cake / first dance was an extra special touch. They were funny, played all the 90s and 80s hits and the garage medley was as good as we’d hope. Everyone loved them, had so many comments and one guy wants to book them for his son’s wedding! Thank you so much for being accommodating, but just brilliant!

Perfect in every way!
Shine On played our wedding and were absolutely perfect! We had so many compliments on the music and they absolutely nailed the vibe we were going for. They also accommodated our genre and first/last song requests flawlessly. They seemed like lovely blokes too which always helps! Can 100% recommend Shine On to others. Thank you Ian & co!

The best band ever!
Shine On were amazing, from start to finish, everything was so well organised and made us feel so relaxed about the day. Ian was really helpful and answered any questions we had and all of our guests absolutely loved them. The performances and DJ sets all evening were amazing, couldn’t recommend them enough!

They made the evening!
Shine on were amazing we couldn’t have asked for better. They made the evening of our wedding fantastic and all our guests enjoyed it. I can’t thank you all enough I would recommend them to anyone!

They were absolutely amazing
Everyone stayed on the dance floor the moment they started which says it all really! Communication was great too, helping to set up a microphone for the speeches and then starting a bit later than planned as we asked to push back a bit. Ian was really approachable and friendly too. Could not recommend them more :)

Fantastic band
We used Shine On for our wedding and went with the acoustic duo during the day and the band for the evening. They were fantastic and really made the day!

An incredible band who made our wedding party the best night!
Shine On were absolutely incredible. We left the music selection up to them and they read the room perfectly. We booked 3 hours and the dancefloor was full all night. We cannot recommend them enough! Since the wedding, we have had numerous people comment on how good they were and ask for their details for their future events.

Best band we’ve ever seen at a wedding
Shine On performed at our wedding in June 2023. I highly recommend them as they were fantastic. They’re the best band that I’ve ever seen at a wedding. The band has a large repertoire of songs and we were able to select ones that we wanted them to play in advance. They also performed our requested first dance which wasn’t in their original song list. The band played an eclectic mix that everyone enjoyed - a number of our guests commented that they were a great band. Communication with the band before the wedding was very easy which was very reassuring for us. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thanks so much to Ian and the other band members!

The most amazing way to end a wedding day!
Well what can we say! Shine On were the most wonderful band for our wedding day and we have received nothing but praise for them since. They created the most wonderful party for us, everyone was on the dancefloor from the first available moment until the last dance. The atmosphere was exactly what we wanted for our big day. Ian was so incredibly helpful both at the event and in the run up and they also learnt some special requests which added to the magic. Would also highly recommend adding an acoustic set, we loved having live music throughout the day. Big thanks also to Grant at Alive Network for all the advance planning. Just need to plan the next party now, everyone keeps asking when they get to hear Shine On perform again! Thanks so much.

Absolutely wonderful band
We booked Shine On to perform at our wedding and they were fantastic. They created a wonderful atmosphere and had everyone dancing straight away. While all the music was great, the garage remix was a particular highlight! Ian was also our pianist for the ceremony and drinks reception and was brilliant. I would definitely recommend them for your event! My only regret is I didn’t have any of our wedding cake or evening food as I was having too much fun dancing.

Incredible, Amazing - exactly what we wanted
Fantastic music - both instruments and vocals. The lead vocalist was very attentive and accommodating and ensured the evening was exactly what we wanted. The music we requested was not typically requested of them which shows what a fantastic range they have as they smashed every single song, including our first dance, which they learnt for us. The dance floor was full throughout their sets and they read the room and played to the audience very well.

They created an amazing atmosphere, better than I was expecting
I had already a good feedback of Shine On's performance on the 2022 BAPCO Event when we first had them. Seeing first hand the performance I can confirm that they were great, very flexible with the guests requests on music, and created a brilliant atmosphere making guests dance and enjoy. Ian was very available and stick to the hours we agreed on meeting, setting up and playing. The whole band was approachable and friendly and it was a pleasure working with them.

We LOVED Shine On
After seeing Shine On at a friends wedding, we knew we wanted them to play at our wedding! After several wedding cancellations due to Covid they stuck with us and it was worth the wait. They were brilliant. Ian was a great lead and kept in touch with us throughout the day.

BEST BAND EVER!! without a doubt!
Shine On were incredible! Absolutely amazing. Literally had the whole place jumping! The dance floor was full from start to finish. We had initially booked for two sets, but the whole crowd were chanting for more so we decided to pay for an extra third (easiest decision we had to make). Everyone commented on how great the band sounded, and the set list they put together had the whole place bouncing. They clearly quickly worked out what songs the crowd responded too and played banger after banger. One of our friends was so impressed he asked me if he could 'tip the band', like they were buskers! BOOK THIS BAND - YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

Shine On we’re the perfect band to get the party going at our wedding. Ian and the boys were so accommodating, playing a wide range of floor fillers and crowd pleasers. We loved having Shine On perform on our wedding day. We would recommend to anyone. Thanks so much Shine On!!!!
Liam S, 25/10/22

Stop overthinking it and just book this band. You have absolutely no reason to book anyone else. They are the perfect entertainment for both day and night and for ANY taste in music. We loved every minute of it! Thank you Ian and all the boys for all you did. You were so generous with your time in the run up and went above and beyond on the day. Perfect.
Emily, 22/10/22

The band were exceptional! Their set list was what drew us to Shine on and it did not disappoint, especially the garage medley! We have had numerous guests tell us they were the best band they have experienced at a wedding before and we all had a great party! Absolutely made our day.
Jenny B, 20/10/22

Shine on were absolutely fantastic! The way they cover the tunes, adding their on spin is amazing. They got everyone up on the dance floor, including my 93 year old nan! They were so much fun, completely professional and made for a relaxed and bustling dance floor. Would recommend to anyone who loves a dance!
Sarah S, 15/10/22

Ian and the band were fantastic from start to finish!!! Everyone was on the dance floor and the energy in the room was incredible!!! They have an amazing selection of music to choose from and they were easy to communicate with throughout the process :) It couldn’t have been any better to be honest!!!!

Shine On came all the way to Sweden to play at our wedding and though we knew they would be amazing, they exceeded all our expectations, providing an amazing 2 hour private concert. Shine On are certainly not your average “function band”! Everyone has been raving about the band ever since. To any bridezillas out there, I can not recommend them highly enough - professionalism and communication are exemplary, nothing is too much trouble and they are the loveliest of guys.

Everyone we've spoken to since has commented on how much they enjoyed the band and what a great night it was"We hired Shine On to headline our mini-festival wedding - Wedstock. They absolutely blew all the wedding guests away, providing two hours of top-notch music that had everyone from the age of 7 to 70 dancing the night away. I have to say if you want a wedding or party band and music matters to you then look no further than Shine On - they are an awesome band, talented bunch of musicians and as it happens they are also a bloomin' nice bunch of lads.

Shine On entertained the Troops out in Germany (Scots DG), an all ranks bash in Bad Fallingböstel, attended by approximately 700 people and the place rocked from the first track until the final encore. By popular demand they will be touring Germany again. Thanks guys brilliant job both on and off stage, you were top professionals.
