Questions asked of Bedlam5

Do you perform for weddings outside of the Greater Manchester area?

Sure! Our first gig was a wedding in London, and we've played weddings abroad too. If you'd like us to play and you're far away, just get in touch and we'll work it all out.

We have a special song that isn't in your repertoire, could you learn it?

Probably! We'll apply the Bedlam5 style to most songs we come across. A very few don't quite work with our instrumentation, so let us know what song you would like and we'll check.

Should we book a DJ as well as you guys for our wedding?

Good DJs add a lot to an event, even if you're also having live music. We can recommend some great DJs we've worked alongside in the past. Alternatively you can run your own playlist through our PA system, or we can provide one for you.

We'd like you to play our wedding/party, but we don't have a PA system?

That's no problem! We bring our own PA system with lights, that should be enough power for parties of up to 200 people. If you have an even bigger event, we can augment that further, just let us know.

Why are you called Bedlam5 when there are only 4 of you?

Bedlam5 doesn't refer to the number of people in the band. 5 is the amount of bedlam. Out of 5.

Bedlam5 absolutely smashed it at our wedding last weekend! Their version of our first dance song was just spot on. The crowd did not leave the dance floor and I’m so glad you used all the fancy dress props too.You looked awesome !! Was such a great atmosphere and were very grateful to you all. We’ll be back at the Horseshoe to see you soon. The MacEasons (!!) Xx

…They had all our wedding guests up and dancing from the first song right to the last…

Bedlam5 were absolutely amazing, they had all our wedding guests up and dancing from the first song right to the last. The mix of music was perfect and we're really grateful that they played our first dance, it was a night we won't forget.

…Even my 90 year old grandad was up dancing…

I booked Bedlam5 for my mum's surprise birthday party. They were really helpful during the preparation stages, especially given we were trying to organise it all without my mum finding out! They even asked if there were any bands whose songs we would like to include.
On the night Bedlam5 were fantastic with all ages up on the dance floor, even my 90 year old grandad was up dancing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening and I would wholeheartedly recommend them. Thank you Bedlam5 for making my mum's party such a success.

…If you want your wedding day to finish with a bang then I could not recommend Bedlam5 any higher.…

I lost count of the number of times people came up to me and said "best wedding band ever". Bedlam5 clearly loved playing and had everyone up dancing from start to finish. They brought a party atmosphere to the whole night and were professional throughout. Having this live band play made our wedding day so much more special. If you want your wedding day to finish with a bang then I could not recommend Bedlam5 any higher.

…There was only one band to go for when my wife and I got married…

After seeing Bedlam5 at a friend's wedding and what an amazing time everyone had on the dance floor there was only one band to go for when my wife and I got married in the summer. We cannot speak highly enough of them, they learnt two new songs for us and they were excellent at the wedding. The dance floor was packed and we had a lot of guests complementing us on the band. I cannot recommend them highly enough, they would be the only choice for any event.

…We couldn’t have picked a better band…

Bedlam5 played two amazing sets at our wedding reception. They got the party started with an amazing version of our first dance song. The dance floor was packed during both sets and everyone we have spoke to since have commented about how great the band was. They picked a fantastic playlist of songs and each with their own unique style which everyone loved.
We couldn’t have picked a better band and they helped contribute towards making the perfect wedding day. We would highly recommend Bedlam5 for any future events you may have. We are already planning to make sure we attend one of their gigs in the near future!

…On the big night the performance was impeccable…

It was our great privilege to have the Bedlams make our wedding party their debut gig. Throughout the build up to the big day they were consummate professionals, discussing requirements and even learning a new track for our first dance.
On the big night the performance was impeccable, the set eclectic but always funky and the dance floor bedlam. Most importantly a great deal of fun was had by all.
The feedback on the band from our guests was all very positive, including from a number of music professionals and session players who could not believe it was the band's first gig.
I would not hesitate to recommend Bedlam5, if you are looking for a high energy, good time band to fill the dance floor.

…I have seen many bands play and Bedlam5 are one of the very best.…

As a professional wedding photographer I have seen many bands play and Bedlam5 are one of the very best. They were my first and only choice when it came to my big day and they made my wedding reception swing. They had a great energy and presence and really picked up the room with their incredible music. They were in touch well in advance of my big day to run through set lists, to see if there were any special requests and to check the timings. Start to finish, end to end, I could not have been happier and would not hesitate to recommend.
