Groover are a dynamic young professional 6-piece band guaranteed to wow you with a night of serious ear-candy! With an explosive mix of classic soul, funk, pop, rock, disco, rock n' roll & jazz, they pride themselves on creating a sizzingly hot atmosphere whatever the temperature outside.

 

Definitely not your average 'stand there and play' function band, this group clearly love what they're doing & their enjoyment is infectiously fun and funky. Time again again clients rave over their boundless energy & enthusiasm which is more infectious than measles! You'll find you have burned off 2 chocolate eclairs by the end of the first number! 
That's not to say they can't tone it down if you want something a little more low-key, mellow or sophisticated. They will tailor the performance & music to your liking.

 

From a high octane party band to a themed night in costumes or jazz background, funky chill-out or soloists for an intimate ambience.
As well as the famously funky party band, Groover can also slip into something crazy if your event has a speical theme. Whether it be a flare-fest from the 70s, or shouting Aloha! in a beach party theme in grass skirts & leis, donning a naughty school-girl uniform to whisk you into a skool-daze, or maybe Austin Powers, Superheros, Hollywood movies or Gangsters & Molls - their dressing up box is enough to turn kiddies green with envy.

 

They can even provide a set of 'Live Karaoke' if you and guests fancy swapping a hairbrush in front of the mirror for a real mic and a real band! They'll provide the lyrics and hollers of encouragement!
 
 
With their frontline all on radio mics for ultimate audience interaction & flexibility, they perform two hours of dancefloor-fillers from every decade with their rockin' rhythm section and sexy singers. Groover love to augment their lineup with the Hotstuff Horns - adding scorching brass-lines & the meanest conga-line in town!
 
With many years experience & a mass of corporate & private clients under their
belt, they sure know how to get up n' do their thang - and their references prove it - including Bradley Walsh from Coronation Street's recent birthday bash to a private sing-a-long with Tom Jones himself!
With a huge party repertoire & a jazz set on request, they thrive in any atmosphere from informal party, corporate, wedding or sophisticated black-tie event.
Groover are self-contained with a pro PA system adaptable for smaller venues or augmented for up to 600 people, radio mics, lighting for band and dancefloor & £10million liability insurance. They also provide a disco as part of their package. Unlike other bands who only provide pre-compiled CDs, Groover can take requests on the night to keep you and your guests dancing from dusk til dawn.

CLIENT COMMENTS

Quotes:

"Hi Emily, I just wanted to say the biggest, hugest THANK YOU ever to Groover for doing a marvelous, show stopping performance at my wedding on the 23rd July at Prestwold Hall up in Loughborough. Thank you to yourself for organizing the band and ensuring that they turned up at the right venue at the right time! They were totally professional throughout....i didnt even notice them arrive and set-up, it was all done very surreptiously!!! We were completely blown away by just how outstanding the band were, the tunes were awesome, the vocalists fanbloomintastic, as for the brass and the rhythm section......WOW!! After being left in the lurch back in january, im so glad it happened and we found you, the band were everything i dreamed of and more, from the lazy lounge jazz to the funky disco, you guys rocked! They had the whole place dancing and buzzing all night, and absolutely every guest gushed with compliments on their amazing talent (which are still pouring in).....we all wanted to carry on partying all night. Groover really made our evening reception, a true touch of class, energy and professionalism that was a perfect way to end a perfect day! I can't thank you enough - you and your band really are incredible, please pass on our thanks to the members of the band and tell them that they were awesome! We'll definitely be coming to dance to your tunes again sometime. Keep up the good work......it's back down to reality for us now as we try to get on with normal life after a fairytale wedding and honeymoon......i want to do it all over again!!! Thanks again, i'll keep up to date with you guys on your website! Love Emily (Penny) and Carl x "

 

Terri (and Emily), Gill and I wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the guys for providing such a brilliant performance at our silver wedding and batmitzvah party on Saturday. So many people came up to us during and after the party and commented on how fantastic Groover were - to dance to and also just to listen to. We did our best to make life difficult for you by blowing the mains fuse ten minutes into the party but you weren't fazed and fortunately we were able to get the power back in time for your first set. Everyone loved the sound - the tight funky soul was just the right groove for the wide age range at the party and you just had to get up and dance.  Even my elderly parents danced!  Such great musicians. You were all also such great people, and so helpful when things went wrong and in sound-checking my best man and myself. Thanks again. Leslie and Gill Moss

 
And a whole host of additional glowing client-quotes on request.
