Gemma had previously hired 21st Century Riot for her wedding reception so when her parent's decided to throw an anniversary party she contacted me to book them again. The band actually already had a gig but having worked with so many musicians over the years I offered an alternative line-up of the band. Having seen the demo's Gemma decided to go ahead and from the review below, the guys were a roaring success! 

I'm so happy I was able to help with this one, it's always lovely when client's come back to us. It's also really brilliant when we can help make moments happen and client's sing with the band - this one sounds so special. Thanks for your lovely comments Gemma, fingers crossed for more parties!!

Hey Helen,

Mum and Dad had an amazing night – everything went brilliantly. The band were fantastic and so lovely! Letting the kids play the drums! Two of my Dad’s friends have asked for contact details as they would like to book them in for other events.

Dad’s song was brilliant, he did a little speech then went into his song, he did forget a few words but it went down really well, he just stood there with his hand in his pocket styling it out - I had a little cry!

Thank you so much for all your help you always make everything so easy. Hopefully you will get a couple more bookings in too!

Thanks again,

Gemma.

'Hi Helen,

Thanks so much, we are so pleased that we selected you guys for the party – the band did a fantastic job and made it a night to always remember. They were so tight and such a great bunch of blokes too. We had so many comments about what a great band they were and many people asked how we found you.  

Our little boys, also now have new heroes! Little Jacob has now built a foot pedal to go with his plastic guitar. We really appreciate how great (and patient) the band were with them as they set up.

Yes, it was greatly enjoyable building the playlists, thanks so much for your support with this.  Our next long car journey to see family miles away should be a lot of fun.

The photos you shared are fantastic. It was very thoughtful and kind of Jay to arrange the group shot which gives us a lasting visual memory. The band shots are a great surprise and are completely awesome! We will have to put in a frame alongside the set list they left behind!

Happy days!

Best regards,

Matt'

Hi Helen,

We had a superb time on Saturday night and I wanted to say thanks to Jay and his band for their slick performance. The mix of music had the guests up and dancing straight away and we have had some great feedback from guests who had a great time.

We would certainly contact you again to perform at our parties. 

Absolutely fantastic a real crowd pleaser, Riot Unplugged are professional in every aspect along with being very friendly people. We have used them a few times and have had many customers ask when they are returning, I would not hesitate in recommending this band, amazing musicians and an excellent vocalist.

Dear Helen,

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to the band for a fabulous performance at our 50th Birthday celebrations! We thought they were brilliant and we've had fantastic feedback from our guests who all really enjoyed their performance and raved about them and they kept the dance floor filled until the last minute. 

We didn't want music that was going to make us feel "old" and they had just the right mix of current, classic and a few oldies for the occasion.They were very professional and efficient and just arrived and got on with setting up so they were ready before everyone arrived. Jay was brilliant and stayed as late as he possibly could to keep the music going after the band had packed up. The guests were still begging for more as he left!They seemed a thoroughly pleasant bunch of guys who certainly made us feel they were enjoying the gig as much as we were. Thank you.

Just a quick note to thank you for the effort you put into arranging for Saturday just gone and a huge thank you to the band members who were absolutely fantastic.
Everybody had a great night.
Thanks again.

We wanted to thank the band for their amazing performance at my party last month. They arrived early so there was plenty of time to set up and give us the chance to say hi before we got ready at home.  We wanted the sound level set so people could still chat in the corners and your sound engineer was very helpful in respecting our wishes.

The music was outstanding! Loads of people were giving compliments on the night and we've had lots of phone calls too, saying how much everyone loved the sound and authenticity of the band. We spend the whole evening dancing and the party was still going strong right up until the end.  

We were delighted with the playlist and found your communication beforehand very helpful in selecting the music. The ipod sets too were great - all my favourite songs one after the other. And the lighting made the room look lovely.  

All in all, the band made the evening a true success, thanks!

Just to let you know how WICKED 21^st Century Riot were yesterday… They were such a nice bunch of boys and performed so well, were entertaining and super professional. I would recommend them to anyone and will so.

Hope to be able to use them again soon, thanks for everything. X

Maria, the guests and I thought that 21st Century Riot were simply awesome. They hit all the notes, played some of the best contemporary songs and did justice to some old rock classics. Sound quality excellent.
