There's something about the sound of an upright bass, stripped down drums, and a gently-plucked acoustic guitar.
A timeless, sun-flecked vibe that harks back to simpler times, those sounds - Yellow Shoes' sounds - are so often so perfect for a wedding bash...whether for the afternoon or the evening reception. To cap it all, a near-bottomless pit of songs in their arsenal (see below) makes them a surefire hit for your big day if this is the mood you're after.

Yellow Shoes stepped in at late notice for us after being badly let down by a band we'd sourced through a friend. We are so glad with how things turned out, they were utterly fabulous in the afternoon, then they freshened up and came back to get the party started - and ongoing all night - in the evening. What a great set of guys and what a band. Thoroughly recommended!

Yellow Shoes have a fantastic sound, so fresh and upbeat and they were ideal for our drinks reception. What a bubbly presence and a superb repertoire with something for everyone. Very happy!
Kirsty & Jason,
Urmston
We booked Yellow Shoes for our wedding and we were really excited about their performance. They exceeded our expectations by a long way. So many guests told us how wonderful they thought they were, which was immensely satisfying for us. Thanks so much guys, we'll no doubt book you again when the chance arises!
