"The Borrowed Blues performed at our wedding on September 21, 2024, and the dance floor was packed all night! They were absolutely incredible—so talented and so much fun. We had seen their YouTube videos before and really loved their vibe, so by the time our wedding came around, we felt like proper Borrowed Blues fans. Our guests kept talking about how much they loved the band. We couldn’t have asked for better!

We are so glad we found them and would 100% hire again!!

"Great service from everyone at Hireaband right from the beginning. Booking our entertainment was super easy and hassle-free; I would 100% recommend using them.
Now, onto the band. For our wedding, we booked Borrowed Blues, and all I can say is wow!
Totally at ease after my first phone call with lead singer Alex, a super friendly guy, and after going over what we were looking for music wise, we were definitely on the same page, and I knew I didn’t have to worry about anything.
The band turned up exactly when Alex said they would; quick sound check, and they were ready to go. They played our first dance, At Last by Etta James, and it was perfect. Charlotte has a stunning voice.
The rest of the night was just brilliant—a great mix of older stuff for myself and newer stuff for my wife.
All our guests absolutely loved these guys, loved the performance, and they were quick to let us know! Many of our guests said it was the best entertainment they had ever seen at a wedding, which I 100% agree with. We even had couples wanting to take them all back to their house to carry on the party!
So, so pleased that we booked Borrowed Blues to play at our wedding; we couldn’t have been any happier, and I’ll be watching videos that were taken for a while yet!
Thanks again to Alex and the rest of the band; all the best to you.

"The service from Gaye (Hireaband) was excellent and really customer focused. Would recommend.
The band, Borrowed Blues, were exceptional!! Amazing performers which blew away our guests and kept the dancefloor packed the whole time. We feel they went above and beyond and were all so friendly, committed and highly skilled entertainers. Alex was excellent with all our questions and highly professional. Book these guys and you are guaranteed a brilliant night of amazing tunes.

"The band were excellent. Really got the party going. They realised we were responding well to the Country music and they leaned into it and started playing more. It felt really dynamic and personal to us and we have had nothing but positive reports from our guests as well. Thank you."

"I honestly don't know where to start with the Borrowed Blues, the band was electric. I have had so many guests saying it was the best wedding band they had ever seen at a wedding. The song choices were full of classics that filled the dancefloor ALL NIGHT, not one lull, the band members themselves were so friendly and chatting to guests, they learned not one but two songs we love (a STUNNING cover of la vie en rose!), the musicians themselves are incredible, it was amazing just to sit back and listen/watch how impressive they were (which many guests were doing if they were not dancing). We didn't see the band before booking, we just knew we wanted a band that were a bit different and on the retro side, and omg they just blew our minds. I couldn’t fault the service at all. Our wedding was a beautiful day, but borrowed Blues really brought the fun and made the wedding. Truly will never be able to thank them enough for the best night of our lives. All our friends and family in one room dancing to rock, soul and blues! "

"Borrowed Blues were fantastic! We got so many compliments on the music, people thought they were great. I’m also so grateful for them learning a Harry Styles song for the occasion, for giving me a chance to twirl with my step dad on the dance floor (for the first time ever!) and for absolutely nailing dancing in the dark, that moment is a memory I’ll love forever!
Thanks Alex for everything, we’re really so grateful for making it a perfect evening

"We had nothing but positive feedback from our guests about the band. Tone of the music, volume, timekeeping, everything 100 % spot on. The lead Alex is so chill and so friendly, the whole process was very smooth. We even hear on the grapevine that the venue asked them for some cards and would recommend them to future wedding parties, as they were the best band they had had in the hotel! To any couples looking through this, if your budget can fit Borrowed Blues, just do it. I promise you won't regret it."

"The Borrowed Blues were absolutely brilliant, it was the best decision we made to have a band at our wedding. We cut our guestlist down due to covid and weren't sure if we needed a band but we went for it and do not regret it one bit!! They got everyone up dancing the whole night, the dance floor was never empty and we had so many compliments about the music! I would highly recommend them :)
Thank you for making our evening so much fun!
"

"The band were INCREDIBLE!! So so many people have said Borrowed Blues were the best wedding band they’d ever heard - even better than their own band!
The music was amazing from start to finish. Our first dance hadn’t been played by the band before but they learned it no problem and it was absolutely perfect.
This was our third wedding date thanks to covid and I’m so glad it worked out this way so we could find this band! They are amazing!
The band were so chilled out and really easy to get in touch with.
A massive thank you for making our wedding a party to remember!

"The Borrowed Blues were absolutely incredible. Professional from start to finish, and just lovely people as well! They accommodated our requests cheerfully and willingly, and they went that extra mile to make our night special. The music they played was nothing short of outstanding - real musicians with real talent. From the very first song the guests were up on the dance floor, and they continued to dance all the way through as the music was too good to just sit down to. We loved every minute and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Amazing! "

"Borrowed Blues we're so good! We took the chance on hiring a band we hadn't seen in person but we totally lucked out - we couldn't have wished for a more professional, friendly or talented group for the wedding. The dancefloor was really busy through their whole set and we had a few guests who took a note of the band name for possible future bookings."

31/7/2021

"Borrowed Blues were 10/10 smash hits on our wedding day! Everyone loved them! We've never seen a dancefloor at a wedding be packed from start to finish, and that is 100% down to the guys being so brilliant. Special thanks to the guys for learning our first dance song, as well as our fave Springsteen tune - they knocked both out of the park. We'll be keeping an eye on any gigs they do in Scotland, as we're keen to come along as fans! "

Borrowed Blues were absolutely amazing, people are still talking about how talented they were.

We hope they all managed to get home safely, I know they had a problem with their van getting stuck.

Would love to see them again. Absolutely brilliant!

"Borrowed Blues are the best wedding band going!
They were absolutely fantastic at our wedding on 02/11/2019 and we have had endless compliments from every single wedding guest about them, so many people have asked for the name and how to book for their own weddings/events! The dance floor was never empty and they definitely know how to keep a party going!
As well as being so talented, the band was so great with being in touch beforehand to discuss learning a song for our first dance, which they were amazing at!
Cannot recommend them enough!

"I had hoped for a good band to play for us at West on the Green. Imagine our delight when the best band I had ever seen rocked up and were playing at *our* wedding.
The first dance was incredible, followed by some of our all-time favourite songs.
We couldn't have asked for a better set, nor could we have had a friendlier group of guys.
Absolutely outstanding! ☆☆☆☆☆

You really made the night for me, thank you!"

"Borrowed Blues were great. They did a fantastic version of an Elvis song for our first dance and then kept the bride, friends and family on the dance floor all night. The ceilidh was a blast and so much fun for all.

The staff in the office where always a great help be it on the phone or via email. A special mention for Julie who helped me out the day before the wedding when I was in a flat spin over the booking!

We had so many people say that they were the best band they'd heard at a wedding, different from the norm with something for everyone.

7/12/2018

"The band were perfect! Everything about them was everything we wanted. They were fun to chat to on their break, they indulged my nephew with letting him play a song with them (on the drums) and quite honestly, the dance floor was so busy all night, because they were so good, we had more drinks left over at the end than we thought we would.

Alex and the Borrowed Blues were brilliant, I couldn't recommend them more!

"

20/10/2018

"Borrowed Blues went far beyond all expectations for us. Their attitude and professionalism throughout the process was fantastic and their performance on the night was superb. I lost count of the number of guests who said they were the best band they've seen play at a wedding."

29/9/2018

"You need to book this band! They played the style of music we wanted all night and the guests loved them. They were polite and friendly, and on time. We looked for a long time trying to find a wedding band but they were all 'run of the mill' bands, then we found Borrowed Blues! If you want something a bit different and special then look no further. These guys are the business!"
