FEATURED REVIEWS FROM DERBYSHIRE COUPLES
Amazing band, great atmos, good mixture of music and just to our style and taste! We had so much fun! Thanks so much! :)
The Pedal Tones played our wedding in September 2023, they did both an acoustic set for our drinks reception and three evening sets for all of our guests. What can we say... the acoustic set was out of this world, perfect for our venue and guests and the song selections were impeccable!
The evening sets were the most fun we've ever had at any wedding, let alone our own! Thank you lads for making the score for our wedding perfect and helping everyone have the best time imaginable! Thanks so much!
If you want a band that's not just about the music but creating an epic experience, The Pedal Tones are your go-to. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them – they turned it into a bash we'll be talking about for years. Huge thanks for making our day extraordinary! 🌟🎶💕

Wedding Entertainment and Bands in Derbyshire
3 PIECE BANDS
Our smallest lineup, but a big sound - our 3 piece bands are a great way to get the night started with a bang. Contains all the PA, lighting and tunes that you need to get the party started!
​
This lineup is flexible with sound limiters, as we can easily swap the normal drum kit for an electric one - meaning we can work at almost any East Midlands venue that has a sound limiter.
4 PIECE BANDS
Bigger band, bigger sound, bigger sets. This really is the ultimate Pedal Tones experience. Our 4 piece bands provide up to 3 x 40 minute sets of non-stop anthems to get your guests on the dancefloor.
​
Expect mashups, medleys, Rock and Pop and all manner of your favourite songs for all ages!
FOLK BANDS
Our folk bands offer something different if you're looking for something special for your event.
​
With Mumford and Sons classics mixed in with folk inspired covers of your favourite songs - plus everything else that our other lineups offer - this is a great way to stand out from the rest.
​
We can provide folk-style music all night long- or we can just start the early evening with the folk style covers and then transition into the classic look later on - the choice is yours!
​
This lineup is also perfectly suited to sound limiters as we can adapt almost anything about it to meet the requirements of most East Midlands venues.
