We could not have asked for a better DJ than Derek for our wedding! From start to finish, he was so remarkably kind, warm, and easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, when a few last-minute timeline and scheduling changes popped up, he handled them seamlessly like a total pro without missing a beat. His ability to adapt on the fly kept everything stress-free and running smoothly. To top it all off, the music selection was fantastic! He kept the dance floor packed and the energy high all night long. If you want a DJ who is professional, attentive, and knows how to keep the party going, look no further! He also sent us videos he filmed himself for our memories - such a lovely touch!!

Paul made the organisation process really easy. He was quick to respond to any queries, and he arranged our DJ Derek. What a great choice! Punctual, friendly, obliged all song requests, and really made it a great evening for ourselves and all of our guests. The dance floor was never empty and it was great fun. Thank you so much to both Paul and Derek. Highly recommended.

Can't recommend Bar Bands highly enough. Booked Jonny and Joanne -Boyd the Duo for my 60th /Retirement party tonight. Totally professional throughout tailoring song choice exactly to suit my taste and played requests. Arrived early for sound check and kept guests entertained and dancing all night. Nothing too much trouble even joined in a slosh whilst singing. Many, many comments about their talent including praise from venue management. Made my night so enjoyable and stress free knowing everyone was having fun thanks.

We could not recommend Dj Derek enough! We booked Derek through Bar Bands to Dj at our wedding reception and we are so glad we did. Derek contacted us and asked what kind of music we would like beforehand so we had the type of songs we wanted. He had everyone up on their feet all night and his shoutout to our daughter dancing made her night. We would definitely recommend Dj Derek!

Good communication with Bar bands during the booking process. The Band - Daytura, arrived on time and were absolutely brilliant! Our guests all commented how good they were and several now want to book them for their celebrations. They were great guys who sang and played excellently!! We would definitely recommend them and Paul from Barbands was so helpful. Thank you all for making our anniversary party so good.

I had no idea what I wanted for my 40th garden party and Paul was fantastic at finding me the right person especially as it was a bit last minute in the middle of July. John came for a few hours and everyone had the best time! He sang a variety of songs tailored to all ages and handled my pals well who love to get on a mic! He was amazing, so many compliments from the people at the party and my neighbours :) would highly recommend
