"Kickback were absolutely brilliant. We had a few guests say it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and that was partly to do with the band! We also have another guest who is getting married next year and who now want to book Kickback for their wedding! Definitely recommend!!!"

"Kickback were one of the highlights of our wedding, and everyone we spoke to after the wedding had mentioned how good they were. The whole experience from start to end was easy - from booking the band through Hire a Band, through to being in contact with the band prior to the wedding, then on the actual day itself - everyone was simple. The band had asked if we had particular songs we wanted them to play or if they should read the room and play based on that - we went with the latter and we were not disappointed!

"We had only seen videos of Kickback before having them perform at our wedding. However this was not an issues as the were as good as if not better than their videos. They really exceeded any expectations that we had. Our guests raved about what a brilliant band they were and the dance floor was always full. We paid for the extra set and I would recommend anyone doing this as for such a great band you want them to be playing for as long as possible. Thank you Kickback for helping make our wedding an incredible day. "

Almost every guest has mentioned just how good the evening was and it was all down to the atmosphere this band created. I would have gladly paid three times the amount they were that good. Outstanding in every aspect!!!!!!!! I just cannot say enough about just how good they were.
I’m actually trying to think of another event just so I can book them up once more. This band made my event what it was. THANK YOU JUST SO MUCH.

"We booked Kickback after finding them on Hireaband and listening to the demo songs. Due to covid they didn’t have any public shows so we couldn’t hear them first live. Well I have to say we needn’t have worried. Communication prior to the wedding was exceptional always prompt responses and really clear about instructions and tips about best set times etc. They arrived on time set up really quickly and had accommodated all of our requests including learning a new song for us. The dance floor was packed all night and all of the guests commented on the band which was testament to them being brilliant. If you want a band for a special occasion - then we would absolutely recommend Kickback"

Excellent and quick communication throughout the booking / scheduling process. Arrived punctually (despite having a very long drive) and loaded in / packed down with absolute minimum fuss.

Played an excellent set and had great flexibility with their repertoire - it felt like they were playing as a tailor-made gig just for us!

They turned a good wedding into a truly exceptional one. Bravo!

"We were absolutely thrilled with Kickback. We're really sure what to expect, having seen the promotion videos online it was difficult to picture them set up in our chosen venue, Wadhurst Castle. The space for the evening reception wasn't huge but they fitted in perfectly, leaving enough space for our guests to have a good boogie. The sound was perfect, not too deafening for the size of the room and the vocals and instruments sounded fantastic. As soon as we had finished our first dance, they kicked off their first set with "Happy" which got everyone moving. We remember the dance floor always being full whenever they played, we opted for 3 40 minute sets and it worked really well. They were all very friendly and approachable and I have already recommended them to a friend of a friend. We've received many compliments about Kickback and we are so pleased that we went ahead with them. What a fantastic band!!! Thank you very much, from a very happy Mr and Mrs"
