Live Wedding Band in Yorkshire (4–5 Piece)

Our 4-piece live wedding band (drums, bass, guitar and vocals) delivers a modern, high-energy sound designed to keep dancefloors full and the night flowing effortlessly. Everything you hear is played live — no backing tracks — creating an authentic performance that feels exciting, polished and genuinely fun.

Musically, we’re deliberately versatile. Expect a feel-good mix of Motown and soul classics, 90s house and dance anthems, indie favourites and modern chart hits, all shaped live in real time. With years of experience performing at weddings, we know how to read the room, pace the evening and keep the energy exactly where it needs to be.

What really sets us apart is how we perform. Our musicians use wireless instruments, allowing us to move out onto the dancefloor, interact with your guests and create spontaneous, unforgettable moments — all while maintaining a smart, professional presentation that looks right in any wedding setting.

For couples who want to take things up another level, our saxophonist can be added to create a powerful 5-piece band, bringing extra movement, funk and a noticeably bigger sound that lifts the whole room.

Based in Yorkshire and performing regularly across Leeds, Manchester, York and Sheffield, we’re available for weddings and events nationwide. If you’re looking for a wedding band that looks great, sounds incredible and knows exactly how to create the right atmosphere, we’d love to help make your celebration unforgettable.

Feedback

Loads of guests commented on how good the band were and said they haven’t danced at a wedding so much! Thanks Mitch and the band for providing great music and entertainment at our wedding 🙌🏼 5 star, would recommend ☺️

Laura Faulkner | Wedding, 2025

We booked Groove Manuva to play covers at our corporate party and they completely exceeded our expectations. From start to finish they were professional, friendly, and really easy to work with. The music was brilliant — everyone was up and talking, dancing, and just enjoying themselves.

Fine Time | Corporate Event, 2025

One of the biggest draw cards to these guys was we wanted a band who had good engagement with the guests. They honestly didn’t disappoint. We had guests playing the drums, singer dancing with us, guitarists raving!! We just had the best time.

Ben Fawthrop | Wedding, 2025

We recently booked the DJ who also plays live percussion, and it was a fantastic addition to our venue. The mix of live energy with the DJ set created a brilliant atmosphere and had guests on their feet all night. Professional, easy to work with, and a real crowd-pleaser — we’d be happy to recommend and book again.

This is what we will do at your event

Arrival and Soundcheck

We can arrive at your event from 5:30pm on the day. The full setup process usually takes about 90 minutes. We discreetly load equipment to avoid disturbing guests and will need 30 minutes of full-volume soundcheck towards the end of the process. If an earlier setup time is required, we can accommodate but there may be an extra cost.

After Setting Up

We will play background music while your guests arrive, and we will get changed into our stage clothes. We request meals and drinks for the band.

First Set

At the agreed time, we will start the first set. We play for about one hour and take a break, leaving music playing from our laptop.

Second Set and End of Night

The party will be in full swing by the second set! After finishing, we continue playing music until midnight, after which we pack down equipment.

We regularly perform as a live wedding band at venues across Yorkshire, including country houses, barns, hotels and city venues.
