21st Century Riot got some fantastic feedback this week, from a wedding they played at the end of January. I especially wanted to feature this on the blog, because Sophy (the lovely bride) almost didn’t book the band, or any band at all. The reason was, it was a small wedding (the reception was being held in a pub), and she was unsure whether it would be appropriate to book a band. When she mentioned her worries to us, we explained that all of our bands have played to all sorts of audiences – we had our 9 piece MIB band playing to an audience of 25 before, and a 3 piece Funkadelics performing to 10,000 – so there really are no ‘rules’. Just because a Wedding is being held in a pub, doesn’t mean a band won’t be suitable. In fact, a sneaky secret fact I’ll share with you, is that we all secretly love playing in pubs! The atmosphere is always fantastic – so much more personal than a bigger venue!
So, Sophy booked, and we were really pleased to get such fantastic feedback from her….
Sorry it’s taken a while to send this, but…
I just wanted to say thanks so much, firstly to you for persuading me to go with it, and of course to the guys for a truly amazing performance. They really were absolutely superb, fantastic performance but also so very professional and got it just right, you could see the sound, lights, mood and everything was being tweaked all the time. I was so worried we’d gone a bit long for such a small do, but they were totally relaxed and played brilliantly, they were perfect for us, they even looked like they were enjoying themselves

At one point I looked up to see the whole place literally jumping up and down. It was certainly a rocking night and one to remember.
So, a heartfelt thank you, and if you’re planning any public gigs please do let me know as we’d love to see them again.

Thanks for the lovely comments Sophy, and we hope to see you at our public gig on 22nd Feb!
