Dont just take our word for it. When you book us you’ll get a group of professional and reliable musicians who love what they do and who are committed to having a good time making sure you’re having a good time

"LOADED were absolutely fantastic! They took the time to learn our first dance song, which they played and sang brilliantly. Andy and the guys were so friendly, happy and easy going. We were nervous booking through a website, and not hearing them before our big day and booking them 2 years ago, but honestly they were absolutely brilliant! They played all the right songs for our wide age range and absolutely smashed the evening. They were also great with all their timings, and absolutely no problem with setting themselves up, no hassle and filled the room with great music! Thank you so much for making the journey and being a fab part of our wedding!!

Libbi from hireaband website has been absolutely amazing throughout our whole process. She has responded straight away with any questions I had and the company were also so understanding and cooperative when we had to postpone. Can't thank Libbi enough for her reassuring emails and helping us find the band we wanted for our day!

"We hired Loaded for our wedding reception and they were absolutely brilliant, exceeding all expectations. There was easy communication from the start and they were very accommodating with our requests. Set-up was easy, they arrived in plenty of time and kept to the schedule, we did not have to worry about a thing.

The setlist was perfect, they had everyone up dancing the entire evening with something for everyone. Loaded are very talented musicians and Andy’s voice is amazing. We received lots of positive feedback from our guests about the band and how great the party was. Our wedding reception was more than we could ever have imagined and we have Loaded to thank for that!

"I just wanted to say how UTTERLY FANTASTIC Loaded were at our wedding on Saturday. They were great setting up (had to be quiet etc as our dinner overran) and their music was just incredible all evening! All our guests said how great they were, and to be honest, my husband and I were just blown away.

So much energy until the very last song. Loved them!

They were there in plenty of time and managed to set up with minimal noise and fuss divided only with a curtain from where we were all eating. They opened with a fantastic rendition of "I'm a believer", and as they went into the opening chords of the next song the dance floor filled up.

"What a fantastic night. The band jumped in on a weeks notice and put on a cracking show. They arrived early and were set up and ready to go before anyone arrived for the party.
They read how the evening was going and allowed people to finish eating before starting. The set was fantastic and had everyone on their feet dancing. Absolutely couldn’t recommend Andy and the band highly enough.

"We would both like to say that we were very, very pleased with all the music on the day. Loaded were absolutely brilliant and played just the right mix of music, and this was testified to by the large numbers of people on the dance floor for most of the evening. Our first dance, to "Can't help falling in love with you", was just perfect. In addition, the band were very good in letting guests - first some members of my old church choir who sang "Happy Birthday, sweet 60" (not 16!) as it was also a special birthday celebration for me, and secondly another friend whom they accompanied while he sang Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight", another of our favourites. I'm sure not all bands would have allowed that but they did and it was much appreciated by all. There were lots of very favourable comments about the music by many guests. We did personally thank the band on the day, but please pass on our very sincere thanks to them once again - they played a large part in making it a truly memorable and magical day. Once again, very many thanks - and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone else looking to make their day extra-special.

"I’m just back from honeymoon and at the earliest opportunity wanted to contact you regarding Loaded who performed at our wedding. Its fair to say that our expectations were high (having seen the demo's on you tube!) - and that Loaded exceeded them in every way! they were truly fantastic, very professional, yet relaxed and fun - the music was outstanding. They definitely got the party started and at numerous points in the evening I looked around to see EVERYONE on the dance floor! Their music and energy, and excellent song list, kept the party going well into the night (no easy feat when you're dealing with people who arrived at a wedding ceremony at 10.30 am and have been on their feet for 12 hours already!)
I would not hesitate to recommend Loaded - and would happily provided any reference you need - and am happy for you to use my comments above should you wish.

I would particularly like to thank them for letting the crazy, slightly intoxicated "musicians" in the family use the stage and their instruments during the evening, even though some of the performances were cringe worthy at times!

Loaded are an absolutely amazing live band and trust me, my husband and I have been to countless gigs and festivals to be able to say this, they were pitch perfect, brilliant musical timing and great entertainers. From the moment I contacted them to the clearing away on our wedding day Loaded were polite, courteous and incredibly professional. All our guests loved the songs, they managed to get people from aged 2 to 88 on the dance floor, they even sang happy birthday to my 16 year old cousin. The only complaints I have heard were from the female guests who complained of having achy feet the next day from dancing too much! "

"Loaded exceeded all expectations with their performance. We have received comments from all of our guests (of all ages) on how great they were, many saying they are the best function band they have seen. The First Dance song that we requested couldn't have been performed better, and set us up for a perfect party! Andy was incredibly professional from our initial enquiry right up until the end of the night, and was a pleasure to work with. He arrived in plenty of time to ensure everything was ready, and they even played some extra ad hoc requests from our guests at the end of their sets. There are so many bands out there to choose from, and I spent weeks before selecting Primed. We honestly couldn't have chosen better, the standard is fantastic and they are extremely talented. We really can't recommend them highly enough. More than happy to give some more feedback if it helps. Thanks again and hopefully get to see you perform again in the future.

"In addition to the 10 songs we were asked to choose from Loaded's playlist, we asked them to learn two additional songs - Mr Brightside by The Killers and Sex on Fire by The Kings of Leon. They were very happy to do that, and to to set up early (for a modest fee) so they would not disturb the wedding breakfast. As for Loaded's performance itself, it was quite superb. The large dancefloor was full from start to finish and the range of songs they played kept all age groups interested. The energy they created was fantastic with everyone having the time of their lives. Loaded's first set was very good indeed but their second set was unbelievable with one favourite tune after another being belted out and danced to hysterically. The highpoints were the two songs we had asked them to learn, both of which were played like the original bands themselves - I am sure they will remain regular fixtures on Loaded's playlist. As I was leaving the venue at the end of the evening, I bumped into Loaded's singer who was packing up. I thanked him for the great job he and his band had done and, although it was past midnight and he had a long journey to get home, he was happy to chat for a couple of minutes and ask how my day had gone. This act of courtesy and politeness was not a one-off as I gather the owner of the venue was also impressed by the band's attitude and manners."

"Our wedding party on 28th August could not have gone any better. The venue was excellent and the food was great, but the one thing that our guests commented on more than anything was the band. Loaded were outstanding, playing loads of songs really well; they must have been playing for over 3 hours and there was always a healthy number of enthusiastic guests on the dancefloor enjoying it. Andy was really easy to deal with in the lead-up to the event too and very happy to accommodate. The first song that we wanted was not on their list, but they were only too happy to put that together and also have one of our guests up playing the sax with them on that song. They also encouraged our 17 year old daughter to get up on stage and sing one of the songs, which was fantastic. I couldn't recommend this band highly enough - a lovely, friendly and talented group of chaps, that really made our party. Thank you Loaded!

"I just wanted to say (belatedly, for which many apologies!) that we were absolutely blown away by you guys at our wedding in Bosham in June. We simply can't thank you enough for giving us such a fantastic evening's entertainment. We've already had at least 4 people ask for your details to pass on to people for their own events. You were all absolutely brilliant - you were just fantastic live, got everyone up and dancing, and all your choices of songs were perfect. Also a million thanks for going along with our requests of playing certain songs at certain times, even changing the lyrics for some to suit what we were after! And I must apologise for the time you were about to sit down and play a song, the last of the set when I came running up to you, a bit bridezilla like if I can remember rightly, and shouted that please could you play YMCA for my niece to dance to before she went to bed!! I'm afraid I was a bit over-excited but you did it and it was excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending to you to anyone who needed a band - we felt really lucky to have got you there for our Big Day! A million thanks again.

They kept the dance floor rammed from 7.30 until the end at midnight and every one of our guests commented on how brilliant they were. (In fact, people are still talking about them!) They played all the sort of music we wanted and over and above that, the ability to take requests and perform them with passion and enthusiasm is just fantastic to see. We literally could not fault them."

"A very professional band who are polished and sound fabulous.
Andy made the whole experience very easy. From booking, to keeping in touch in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself. Andy made sure that everything ran smoothly.
We got married on board HMS Warrior in HM Naval Base Portsmouth - so there were added challenges for Andy and his guys to get all their kit on board and set up but nothing was too much bother for the band.
They had everyone up on their feet all night and played a fabulous first dance for us.
We knew they were good as they'd previously played at my sister in laws wedding a few years ago.
They did not disappoint! Thank you so much Loaded. You made our evening and we would definitely recommend you guys to anyone!!"

They were absolutely brilliant! The dance floor was packed all night, and they played some epic tunes. It was a rather small stage so they did very well to make the most of the space. Thank you so much and I will be sure to recommend you to anyone getting married!!

The music seemed to capture the joy of the day, across all ages, no one felt left out, everyone was smiling and jostling for a place on the dance floor. With each new song there was a general voice that said 'Wow I love this one!' Then there was a tsunami of body movement across the dance floor with everyone dancing together whether they knew each other or not.There were many cries for MORE once the band said it was time to go!. The band even asked for requests which in my experience is most unusual and shows great versatility and accomplishment."

To any brides & grooms out there looking to book a band, Andy was really helpful all of the way through the process - we were given control of the set list, he contacted the hotel directly to arrange everything and despite the fact we started late, they stayed on to play that one last all important song (Wonderwall of course).

They are professional but so much fun at the same time. Great voices, great music - I've been to many weddings and never has the dance floor been packed the whole night, this was the case at ours and this is totally down to Loaded. I had so many comments about how great they were and one of my friends actually boo'd at the end of the night when they finished - she had been on the dance floor all night! I would recommend them over and over and would love dance to Loaded again at another wedding, and may well be able to as a friend has contacted me for their details...fingers crossed. I am so pleased I went with them - they really helped make my wedding have the atmosphere we so wanted - thank you Loaded."

They were fantastic in supplying just what was needed throughout the night, from unobtrusive background while Mum got over her shock and caught up with friends to the favourites which got everyone up and out on the dance floor! They helped create a fantastic atmosphere and were very considerate of a rather unhinged organiser (Me) and a barrage of requests from the revellers and even indulged us with some audience participation! They are a very talented group, with great voices and a wonderful presence - I can heartily recommend them to anyone planning an event, especially those taking place at more intimate venues. Thank you both again, I hope you are still available for private parties when she's 65! "

You are four very talented musicians and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone else looking for a memorable band for a wedding or any other party occasion.
