Testimonials:
They were amazing, friendly and accommodating, and so so much fun! We, and all our guests had so much fun! We loved having a horn section and the vocals were incredible! Claire & Nick, Pittville Pump Rooms, Cheltenham
Thanks so much for your epic performance last night! Every person was on the dance floor! Can't wait to book you again soon! Emma at Something Blue Wedding Planners
We are so lucky to have found Philosophers band. They played at our wedding party and were fantastic. In the build up to the wedding the lead band member was in touch to make sure the night ran smoothly, we had some special requests which she accommodated - nothing was too much trouble. Since our wedding, so many guests have commented on the excellent band! If we have a party again I will be ringing the Philosophers. Thank you for being absolutely amazing. Emma Turner, Wedding, Pebble Beach, Barton On Sea
For my husbands 40th birthday party we had Philosophy come all the way to Milan to be the cherry on top of what turned out to be the best night! They really got the party started and within minutes the dance floor was full and didn't stop pumping until the small hours. Every one of my guests complimented the quality of the band and its singers, and said they had a wonderful time dancing and singing along to their favourite hits. Thank you Philosophers!Anna Buckley - Proli, 40th Birthday, Milan
What can I say...probably the tightest band Ive heard for a while what a sound! Simon Mansfield, Vern Allen
I booked Melanie and her band The Philosophers band for a 60th birthday celebration for my wife. Melanie and her band were a huge hit with everyone, she sang pitch perfect from start to finish with a choice of songs that had everyone dancing throughout the night. The Philosophers are true professionals and I cannot recommend them enough. Stephen Simpson, 60th Birthday, Marlborough
I had no hesitation in choosing The Philosophers to perform at my wedding, having seen Melanie perform numerous times before, even better with her band!
