The Switch Ups - Reviews

  • Andrew Campbell | Wedding

    We hired The Switch Ups to play at the evening do for our wedding in August 2024.

    We first heard the band perform after attending a friend’s wedding two years ago. We were thoroughly impressed so we made an enquiry.

    From the very start the communication has been superb. All our queries were answered very quickly and in a friendly manner.

    We decided to go with the five piece core band option as that is what we heard during our friend’s wedding, and we are so glad that we did! The band sounded absolutely amazing throughout the evening. They can do it all; from an intimate slow song for the first dance to high octane rock anthems, the variety and energy they brought had everyone in our wedding party dancing and having the best time.

    We couldn’t recommend The Switch Ups highly enough!

  • Jess Steel | Wedding

    We used The switch Ups as our wedding band, and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. EVERYONE commented on how amazing they were, friends have asked for their contact details to book them at their own events. They had everyone up on the dance floor all night, and there songs were so original. Loved them!!!!

  • Lucy Copley | Wedding

    We had the band at the evening reception at our wedding last week, and they were amazing! Everyone was up and dancing throughout the night. They also played our first dance song which was incredible. So many of our guests commented on how good the band were. Also very good communication, and everything was on time. Would highly recommend.

  • Aaron Rothwell | Corporate Event

    These guys played at our Dinner/presentation evening for our Golf Club, and I have to say they did not dissapoint. Mitch is a super chilled guy, very easy to deal with and oragnised everything brilliantly. They turned up on time, were very professional with a fantastic sound system. What a night, everyone dancing having a great time, the only issue was it ended! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending these guys, they are brilliant musicians with a variety of music to please everyone. All I can say is thanks for making it so memorable without question the best band we have had, I will definitely book again in the future.

  • Christopher Langford | Wedding

    We recently had The Switch Ups play at our wedding and they were simply superb. I have worked with many, many bands at various events over the years and The switch Ups rates amongst the top. Throughout the planning, I have been so impressed with the professionalism shown by the band leader, Mitch. He remained in regular communication through email and phone which made it easier to organise. On the day, we had the two-piece acoustic duo through the drinks reception and then the five-piece for the evening. The duo created a really nice ambiance for people to chat/drink. The five-piece was simply great fun and the dance floor was full all night. They even allowed my cousin to sing our first dance with them which was a really lovely touch and we are so grateful for this. Setup/Break-down was all done quickly and with no hassle/issues. I could go on with how great they were but if you're thinking of hiring this band then the answer is simple, just go and do it!

  • Rich Fawcett | Party

    Absolutely awesome band with a great choice of playlist. Perfect for my wife’s 40th! Would 100% recommend.

  • James Brown | Party

    I had this band play at my 40th Birthday recently. Very professional and quick response time to questions. The band were amazing, I had the addition of a saxophone which was well worth it. Would recommend to anyone. Everyone was on their feet from the first chord of the first song and we never the dance floor. Thanks again for making the day so memorable.

  • Jonny Meeson | Wedding

    Brilliant! Loved every minute, and everyone at our wedding loved them!

  • Bethany Jones | Wedding

    The Switch Ups played at our wedding in April 2024 and were amazing right from the start. The communication before the wedding was always prompt and took on board all our song requests. The dance floor was never empty and kept the party going all night. We also had the manned DJ in between sets which was definitely the right choice as our guests could also request songs. Thanks for making our evening reception that extra bit special!

  • Claire Moffat | Wedding

    We had the pleasure of having The Switch Ups playing at our wedding. What a party, they certainly know how to kick a wedding reception off. Everyone was dancing and had such a great night. So many guests raving about our band and the added sax session was amazing. Thank you so much for making our night one to remember.

  • John Hayes | Wedding

    We booked these guys for our wedding.

    The set list was great and they got the party going.

    They also leant 2 songs that were special to us, but weren’t part of their repertoire.

    We can’t thank them enough for their part in our special day!

  • Emma Bowers | Wedding

    Absolutely fantastic!

    We got married in February this year and from the beginning, they were easily contactable with lots of options for band size which was very helpful. We went for a band and DJ option and extended the dj finishing time too.

    In the night, they were fantastic. They accomadated one of our guests singing our 1st dance and from then the dance floor was full. One of our guests was also our videograoher and commented afterwards about how there was no 'down time' or 'lull' in the night as the band and DJ read the room well and kept the dance floor full. As someone who is often on the dance floor on my own, this was exactly what I wanted for my wedding!

    There were points where they encouraged audience participation, with my dad reliving his youth singing with them, and apparently my and a friend 'helping' with a song too.

    I cannot recommend these guys enough! Thankyou for keeping people dancing well into the night!

  • Savannah Snell | Wedding

    The Switch Ups were absolutely incredible at our wedding! Thanks to them, the dancefloor was never empty and everyone couldn't stop raving about them. 100% would recommend for any events as they were so great and also so lovely to deal with in the months prior! Thank you!
