Uptown Nights
East Anglia's premier wedding and party function band
Female fronted 5 to 10 piece live corporate and wedding function band, based in East Anglia, that never fails to deliver a great night's entertainment.
From soul and funk to rock and pop, their high energy floor fillers, spanning 7 decades, hit the mark for even the most diverse audience.
"What can I say! Saturday's performance was terrific, I've never seen so many people that normally sit in chairs up & dancing. Debbie, you sure know how to get people in the party spirit. All day at work I've been hearing what a great performance you all gave. Please pass on our thanks to all the band."

"The band were absolutely superb - they were prompt, personable and really made the night. Excellent singer vocals and sound - she really went above and beyond our expectations to create a great party atmosphere, singing whilst dancing with guests, utterly superb. At one point I looked from the dance floor and realised that everyone was dancing! I would highly recommend them to others - by far the best band we have seen at a wedding and we are very thankful it was ours! Can't praise them enough."
“We had the most amazing time last night - you made everything so, so special. Thank you for everything you did. We've had another gathering today and so many people told us how impressed they were with you and how fantastic you made the evening. It was incredible and exactly the atmosphere we had hoped for!! We couldn't have asked for more. A few people have asked for your details so hope to see you at another event soon!! Thank you and very best wishes to you all.”
Optional Extras
