Absolutely brilliant. From Adele to The Monkees there is absolutely nothing Candy & The Sound can’t play, and play very well indeed. They played at my wife’s retirement party last night and the dance floor was full with the young and the not so young. A fantastic evening made by the quality of the music. If you are looking for quality musicians with a varied song list this is the band for you. Highly recommend. More...

If we could give these guys 6 stars I absolutely would. They were incredible. We booked this band June 2019, with a view our wedding would take place in 2020. However, with COVID, the band were so accommodating with moving our wedding 12 months. They provided the PA for the ceremony, as we held the wedding outside, did an acoustic set, and for the evening the provided 2 band sets. All the guests loved it and kept the dance floor busy at all times. We asked for a specific arrangement for our first dance, which was perfect, and to top it all, I featured in the band for one song, which was a dream come true to play live. Anyone looking for a band, then these are your guys... More...

We first experienced Candy and the Sound around 5 years ago at a friend/colleague's wedding. Candy's energy, varied music and interaction with the crowd made for a fun filled floor filler of an evening. My wife and I particularly the interaction with us so much we became friends on social media. The band play with enthusiasm and read the audience and their needs. Playing romantic wedding songs, singalong anthems or classic floor fillers. We highly recommend Candy and the sound. We booked them last week even though we are a bit of a long journey from their Midlands catchment they didn't hesitate in accepting our booking. It was a 60th Birthday with a small crowd and as expected everybody was asking us "how did u find this band they are fantastic" I believe our local British Legion are in contact with Candy for a gig or more in the future, the locals are getting excited.....we Love you Candy and they fantastic musicians giving you a powerful backing On a side note Candy has other skills around mental health and lifestyles which also helped us through some of the tougher times during the Covid Pandemic. A workaholic spreading love and fun. More...

Candy and the Sound are superb. I held a charity ball for my late husband’s Birthday Howard on the 4th September 2021, raising money for the charity GutsUK. The various genres of music was excellent the personality of the Band shined through. Unfortunately the evening ran out of time just as the dance floor was rocking. Fully recommend. More...

Candy and the Sound have an amazing varied playlist of songs. All tastes are catered for. The music is delivered with smiles and engaging, interactive way. Everybody feels like they have a new BFF as Candy gets to know everybody. Delivering all those sing along anthems and dance floor fillers. last weekend they travelled over 200 miles round trip for a small pub Birthday party. The booking was easy to make and communication with Nic aka Candy was excellent. The manager of our local British legion was there and immediately stepped in to exchange business cards for a future booking. The locals are getting excited and the full house audience there will Love Candy as much as we do. hopefully see u soon with my embarrassing fat Daddy dancing lol More...

Candy & the sound perform at our sons wedding a couple of years ago and were outstanding, so when we decided to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with a party we knew instantly who we’d like to have perform for us. My husband decided that WE should perform to our guest with a rendition of Paradise by the dashboard light by Meatloaf instead of a dance ???????? 12 months ago this seemed like a good idea ???????? these wonderful people agreed to let my husband and me take over their microphones for 10 minutes ???????????????? we had a great time doing that was great fun, hard on the hearing so sorry for that ????
