Fantastic band for a party

Punchtheair really made my birthday party special. Andy responded very promptly to my enquiry and everything was very well planned - timings, choice of songs etc. on the night they gave a fantastic set and guests of all ages danced the night away. I would certainly book them again.

When our initial wedding band fell through because they hadn't been rehearsing during the lockdown, I discovered Punch the Air while browsing online and decided to give them a call. Just like that, our wedding evening was saved! Andy and his team are incredibly professional and truly know how to deliver an amazing performance. I couldn't recommend them more!

Hi Nathan, thank you for the kind words. We’re thrilled we could step in and save the day after your original band fell through.
We’ve checked our records and can't find a 'Nathan' on our books, was your booking perhaps under a different name? Also, since you mentioned you 'couldn't recommend us more,' we’d love to know if there was anything we could have done to earn that 5th star, as we always aim for perfection for our lovely couples!
Best regards, Andy and the team

Made our wedding!

We contacted punch the air wedding band 16 months prior to our wedding cos we were sure we wanted a band but didn't know who to use yet. I contacted Punch the air and Andy responded promptly with his quote and also some really helpful advice. Our venue was a fairly small intimate wedding venue in Lichfield and the band having played there before knew the set up, knew the noise restraints and even suggested "whoever you go with should use an electric drum kit due to the space" so we knew they weren't just after our money as they offered us advice. Andy went on to tell us he was doing other gigs, to go and watch him, asked what we liked and was so professional throughout but also so personable that we felt it was just right. Communication before, during and after were very professional and they arrived when they said they would, let us pick some of the set list, they knew we wanted more pop punk songs and they were so accommodating to our requests. Even going as far as bringing his acoustic to play our first dance for us and it was just perfect.
Everyone absolutely loved the band and the dance floor was never empty. We would highly recommend Punch the air to anyone wanting a band cos they just knew how to get the Party going. Thanks so much to Andy and the band for making our night so special.

Massive thank you to Punch The Air

Massive thank you to Punch The Air - Indie Rock Cover Band - Weddings, Parties, Corporate Events for a fantastic party at mine and Matt Lane's wedding! We would recommend them to anyone having a wedding or a party. The band and the DJ'ing were fantastic, for young and old and kept the party going all night. Matt and I couldn't have asked for better! Andy was also always really helpful, replied to any emails, and even helped when we slightly changed the first dance the day before.

Wow 👌 The best live band ever!

what can we say .. amazing night and you guys certainly rocked it out of this world !
Everyone loved you guys. We even had a few venue owners who attended the wedding that slipped a few business cards in their pocket! that in its self shows how amazing you guys are.
Not only at doing what you guys do best, who would of thought that you was a pro with the camera ! those pictures are incredible along with the video you managed somehow capture :) myself and Kate would like to thank you all for everything you have done to make our day so so so special !

Honestly guys it was perfect. ill defiantly be recommended you to literally everyone! even from a business point when i get booked for the DJ side of things if I get asked if I know a band you'll be the first and only on the list.

Again thank you all so so much we had the best day and night of our lives and that was made even better by yourselves, Punch The Air .. 5* perfection.

Made our wedding party a gig for everyone

Punch The Air turned our evening wedding do into a gig. With a perfect blend of indie tunes and some more classic rock songs from the 60s, guests young and old had an ace time. It was the hottest day of the year, and so people were desperate to stay outside, but Punch The Air had so many great methods of getting people involved on the dancefloor: from participation of our guests on stage, to creating a celebratory circle around the bride and groom playing our favourite song. Andy was so accommodating with the setlist, it’s ridiculous – he sent us a (long) list of all the songs Punch The Air do, and let us choose our dream setlist (as we were making playlists for the rest of the day and didn’t want clashes). And despite looking and sounding rock and roll (odd-coloured converse is a funny touch), the guys couldn’t have been nicer, more punctual, or professional. On top of all that, they were properly affordable compared to some other bands we looked at; bands we are fully confident wouldn’t have provided the memorable evening that Punch The Air did. Cheers guys.

We saw the lads at a recent wedding party. They hit mark from the first cord to the last drum beat. Floor filler sounds with bouncing tracks, hands in the air and bouncing around stuff, great. The boys made the evening complete a definite 10/10.

Fantastic, can’t recommend enough

After 12 months of arranging and getting everything planned it was a bit of a nightmare on my sons wedding day to hear that the band we had booked, at the very start of our wedding journey, had to pull out last minute due to illness. Full credit to them, for not totally letting us down. They contacted Andy and fortunately Punch The Air were available to fill in.

We didn’t know what to expect and phone signal was not great at our beautiful wedding venue, but Andy and the band arrived ahead of time and the moment we heard them setting up and testing we knew it would be OK.

Some of the evening guests were delayed by traffic and the band just took everything in their stride and went with the flow, incredibly professional and accommodating fitting their session in around guests eating wood-fired pizza and wedding cake.

Punch The Air got everyone on their feet, they even let one of ours guests sing “Valerie” with them, simply amazing. We can’t thank them enough for turning what could have been a disaster into a number one hit.

If you are looking for a Indie Rock Cover Band for any occasion check these guys out and if you are as lucky as we were they may be free to come and make a special day even more memorable.

Punch the Air - Fantastic

Our origional wedding band sadly had to drop out on the morning of our wedding due to illness, however they helped to arrange for us Punch the Air who were luckly availible to leap in at the last second and save the day!

We are so glad that they did!

The whole band was absolutely fantastic, proffesional, timely and they completely put us at ease . They arrived early, went through everything with us to check we were happy, suggested timings (which worked perfectly) the set list was brilliant and loved by all of our guests - the whole package .

During the perfomance (thanks to frontman Andy's showmanship and energy) every single guest young and old was on their feet and the atmosphere was absolutely electric!

On the night I had so many guests come up to me and tell me how brilliant the band was and I can honestly say that I would truely reccomend them to anybody looking to book a band for a wedding/event !

Thanks again for saving the day, you guys were the perfect band to really top off our big day!

A wedding band you can trust

Punch the Air are friendly and easy to work with. They have been on the recommended supplier list at Deer Park for a number of years, for good reason.

Fantastic wedding party band with great tunes, really special and made the evening!

Punch The Air were our wedding band and DJ-ed and they really were the icing on the cake! Great comm's when enquiring/booking and top guys.

They have a really good covers repertoire from 50's to present and absolutely rocked the live set, even encouraging us to get up and sing/"play" etc, just top fun and guests loved them. See their website pics/videos.

Great DJ-ing too, a mix of our pre-selected tunes and their own choices, went down brilliantly. Compered the whole first dance thing well, no cheesy wedding disco badness to be seen either! Andy took some great top-quality pics of the evening for us too, no additional charge. Highly recommended.
