Biography
This talented and enthusiastic 4-piece function band offer a varied repertoire of fun and upbeat songs from the 50s and 60s right through to modern chart hits. From Ed Sheeran to James Brown, from the Beatles to Oasis, there's something to keep guests of all ages entertained.
The Fiction is made up of four experienced musicians each with years of weddings, parties and corporate events in their back catalogue, if it's a lively band that oozes friendly showmanship you're looking for then this is the band for you.

We, and I think everyone who attended the event, thought the boys did an amazing job! The guys were prompt and very professional and set up with ease. Their sets were great, with a really well mixed repertoire and well put together, not to mention sung so well!!! Like pros! Everyone at our event commented on how great the band were and they really made the night for all of us. They were flexible and agreed to play a little longer also on the night which was great! We would have absolutely no qualms about booking them again for both a corporate event or to recommend them for personal do's. Thanks again, it was a real pleasure doing business with you all.

Alice Walker - Wedding
We hired The Fiction for our staff Xmas party in a marquee outside my house and they were simply superb. We had no idea what to expect as we could only going by the Bands For Hire website. Really nice people and amazing musicians. The lead singer is simply out of this world and never missed a note the whole evening. Worth every penny and hope to hire again for other events.

Catherine Burge - Wedding
After having a complete headache booking the venue for our event, it was quite late notice, and I didn’t hold much hope of sorting any entertainment. I found Bands for Hire on the internet and from then it was a complete breeze. Excellent communication from the agent and the band all the way, completely put my mind at ease and on the night the band where great!
★★★★★

The Fiction's performance was seamless and we only wished their sets were longer! They played our requested songs as well as taking all sorts of odd family requests in between sets, including Neil Diamond! We also loved that they had practised our first dance ahead of time and felt they did a very good job of our chosen song! Thank you again for making our day a memorable one!
★★★★★
Rebecca Blackmore - Wedding
The Fiction were superb. A great set, had everyone dancing and played a wide range of music and styles. As one of the guests said, aside from hiring the Rolling Stones, it's difficult to see how the band could have been any better .. truly made the evening and we received so many thanks for a great evening. Many thanks!

We booked The Fiction for our wedding and they were sensational from start to finish.

We literally didn’t leave the dance floor all night along with most of our guests. The set lists were spot on, we picked a handful of tracks in advance but the guys managed to put together their entire sets perfectly for us and our guests. A special thanks to the lead singer who sang a Bollywood song with a few of Sureka’s family members which was an amazing surprise on the night! All of our guests were complementing the band during the night and since the wedding too. Thanks to the band for creating such a special evening and keeping the party going all night!

We'd just like to thank the guys for a great performance which added to a great night. They had everyone up and dancing from the first song and the "book-ending" of Mr Brightside worked a treat plus the Oasis encore went down fantastically. Feedback from our friends and family was excellent too. Great guys, great band, many thanks
