Helter Skelter

Do you want a party that your friends and family will remember always?

Do you want a band that puts you in the spotlight?

Do you want your party to have a real edge?

Do you want a band that's performance and professional sound literally blow people away?

If you answered YES, then Helter Skelter is the right band for you. They are one of the most sought after, exciting, energetic and downright awesome wedding and party bands in the north. Last year they performed at a rugby league star's wedding that was filmed for Living TV's 'Four Weddings' 2010 series. They were booked for this through recommendation to ensure the wedding had the edge over the other weddings. This year they have already played many high profile shows as well as numerous wedding and parties.

Martin & Jane Singh, wedding, Dalton Grange, Huddersfield, 5th June 2010
Just a quick message to say a massive thanks to you, and the band on giving us all a wedding to remember and it was a pleasure to have you play our night.
Everyone commented not just on how wicked you were on the night but how friendly you were as people. Your professional manner was quite apparent from the first time we spoke, and it is a breath of fresh air to see that you guys enjoy and have a passion for what you do.

Rebekah and Graham Adams, wedding, Holdsworth House, 15th May 2010
Helter Skelter truly rock! We took a chance on booking them for our wedding as we'd not heard them live before but if ever a punt paid off, this one did! We would recommend Helter Skelter to anyone. We had a fantastic night. Our guests (ages ranging from 8 to 80) started partying at the first song and didn't want to stop at the end of the night. Numerous guests said they were the best wedding band they'd ever heard. We are currently trying to think of another opportunity to book Helter Skelter! If you are having a wedding in the North then the best tip we can give you is BOOK THIS BAND. Brilliant!
Graham and Rebekah

A large proportion of their bookings are through recommendation from previous clients, major wedding venues, and established wedding services suppliers.

We can't thank you enough for making our wedding so fantastic. Every single person that came has said how amazing you guys were'

NHS National Conference, International Convention Centre, Birmingham, April 27th, 2010
Having watched and listened to Helter Skelter in a number of local West Yorkshire based venues I was convinced that they had the confidence and the musical ability to entertain a crowd of 500 at the International Conference Centre in Birmingham. On Tuesday the 27th April 2010, they did just that and created a night that many of us will remember for a long time to come.
John Rayner – Organising Committee HC2010

They perform many styles of music, from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, T Rex, U2, Aha, Kings of Leon, Snow Patrol etc with a healthy dose of classic rock in the mix. All age groups are catered for.

Rachel Grogan, NHS Event Planner. NHS Christmas Party, Dec 09
Well what can I say, not often I'm stuck for words. We all had a fantastic night from start to finish - the band was fabulous as was the DJ. I have never seen the crowd get up to the dance floor so soon into the night.

Please pass our thanks on to all the lads they were true professionals it will be the talk of town for a long time. I will certainly recommend you.

Thank you so much again for making all the organising worthwhile, it will be a Christmas party to remember. Rachel

Louise and Richard Moore (Wakefield Wildcats Rugby League Star) – Filmed for Living TV's 'Four Weddings' – Casa Hotel, Brighouse, 7th November 2009
Helter Skelter do Rock!! What a night and what a wedding, the boys performed at my wedding this month and they blew the roof off. Excellent – everyone was dancing – I also have the photos to prove it! Had a superb time, the boys had added pressure as I entered a competition called 'Four Weddings', but like I say they blew the roof off!!!!
Best wedding ever, thanks.
Mr & Mrs Moore

Louise and Chris Gale, Wedding – The Ringwood Hotel, Chesterfield, 8th October 2009
What can we say? They were amazing, every one of our 114 guests have said so, so it must be true! I cannot recommend this band enough; they truly delivered an amazing show that had everyone crying for more. A truly talented set of professionals who know how to read a crowd and really get people involved. It felt like our own personal concert with all our favorite artists the only problem you will have is deciding what to pick so trust me, leave it up to Graeme and the team, you won't be sorry!

Maggie Smith, joint birthday party – The Old Barn, Baildon, 17th October 2009
I have good credentials to judge live bands being one of the organisers for Saltaire Festival (now 7 years old) and part of the team that selects between 14 and 20 bands for our Piazza Stage events each year. Helter Skelter Rocks are simply far and away the best band we have heard in years. Their passion for a terrific sound, their musicality and great, great numbers deserves a wider audience. They lit up our event, had everyone dancing and made our night very special!

Richard Hirst, 60th birthday party - Dowerhouse Hotel, Knaresborough, 10th October 2009
There is no word in existence which deserves to describe Helter Skelter's genuine ability to create the most fantastic party atmosphere! Graeme, Simon, Carl and Rob literally had everyone dancing all night to their excellent versions of songs from the 60s to fit in with our 60s themed party.

From day one Graeme did everything to make sure the night would run smoothly in terms of musical arrangement and Graeme's wife, Kirsti was fantastic at taking photographs all night, capturing the mood Helter Skelter produced so easily in a professional manner.

What really made the night for Richard's family and myself though was the smile on Richard's face every time a new song started as the band were able to sound exactly like the original artiste from this era (if not better!).

The next morning everyone from 10 year olds to 60+ was talking about Helter Skelter and how they made the evening one to remember! One 10 year old even wants to learn to play the guitar now!

Individually each band member was absolutely excellent and the on stage chemistry between the four just proved how much Graeme, Simon, Carl and Rob love what they do!

I do not think this testimonial is able to reflect how good Helter Skelter are – just trust me, there is no band quite like them – get them booked!!!

Viv & Phill Clarkson, Wedding - Garforth Holiday Inn, September 2009
We booked Helter Skelter 3 days before our wedding and to be honest we were not totally sure what to expect, although from the photos on the website and listening to a few soundtracks we knew they would be good, but actually they were out of this world.

Professionalism shone through and their proactivity in contacting the hotel before my big day to go through last minute detail to save me time was great. We had an absolutely brilliant evening reception. Everyone was having a great time, my new husband has actually injured his knee in some way with all his dancing (I have pictures to prove it!) He's hobbling now!!!

The words I would use to describe Helter Skelter – phenomenal, brilliant, awesome, exceeded expectations – fantastic band, caters for customers needs, great set of guys. Not forgetting the crew who helped in all areas. Thanks again.

Emma & Paul Garlick, Wedding - The Fountain Inn, Ingbirchworth, South Yorkshire, September 2009
Excellent performance!! Helter Skelter made our day the best ever, had the whole place dancing all night, fantastic!!! Will definitely see them again. Thank you so much.

Jane Travis, 40th birthday party – Holmfirth, September 2009
Helter Skelter made my party into something amazing. All my guests (from 6 to 60 yrs old) enjoyed a brilliant selection of music and the atmosphere was electric. Thank you.

Vicki and Matt Pinnell, Wedding - Wooley Hall, Nr Wakefield, August 2008
Thanks again for the excellent show on Friday. All of our guests commented on how amazing you guys are. We really enjoyed ourselves hope you all did too! Will be looking out for you. Take care. Vicki and Matt

Sarah & Olly Bramall, Wedding - The Coniston Hotel, Skipton, May 2009
Thank you so much for all your efforts that Sunday night. We got back on Friday and spent the weekend catching up with people and everybody has commented how amazing you guys were.

If I remember correctly just before you guys left you said that Kirsti had taken some great shots . . . could I be really cheeky and ask for a copy of them? Our photographer left after our first dance and so we would love to have some shots of all the crazy dancing that was taking place and particularly my favourite bit where I sang with you the chorus of Mustang Sally - brilliant!!!

We will definitely keep an eye on your gig guide and will certainly see you at one of them very soon.

Many thanks again to everybody, Sarah & Olly
