The Flyaways
London Based Party Band
The Flyaways, one of London's most sought after wedding bands,have been playing together since 2011. Since the beginning, there has always been 1 ambition...to entertain! They offer a quartet of 2 guitars, double bass, drums and 3 part harmonies with the addition of slide guitar to recreate a unique americana style.
To experience them play live is like a wave of energy! Not only are you seeing 4 experienced and trained musicians, you are also seeing 4 good friends sharing a stage together. The chemistry between them enables the band to entertain with ease, to get the audience involved with songs, and to make sure every last person is having an unbelievable night.
The band take their music on an improvised journey through genres including rock, pop, soul, hip hop, country, and jazz, and can switch instruments and lead vocalists.The music on the night will take you through the ages. 50’s rock ‘n’ roll, funk and soul classics, raucous indie rock and the latest pop hits, with some 90s/00s hip hop thrown in - all seamlessly blended together to keep the party moving.
Their trademark 3 part vocal harmonies will leave you stunned, and the clever twists and medleys in the arrangements will keep you on your toes, transforming songs you've known your whole life into something new and exciting.
Experienced London Musicians
The guys have spent many years working as session musicians and producers, touring all over Europe playing festivals, arenas, and doing live radio and TV work. Some of the artists the band have worked with or shared the stage with are: Sean Paul, The libertines, Charli XCX, Boy George, Jamiroquai, Lethal Bizzle, Fuse ODG, Wretch 32, and John Newman.
At some of the band's regular London residencies, you can walk in to find yourself in the middle of a wild, sweaty, euphoric party, with the whole club, including bar staff and security on the dance floor. This is the upbeat atmosphere they will bring to your event.
The Flyaways are a Band Boutique Exclusive act and as such can't be booked cheaper anywhere else

Sorry this has taken me so long to do but I just wanted to say thank you so much to The Flyaways for our amazing wedding party on 20th July this year. It was incredible and so many people have said how great the guys were. Everyone was up dancing all night and it was exactly what we had in mind! Your Instagram post the other day was a lovely reminder. I'm guessing Corina, our photographer, sent you photos? I can send you some if not. We had so much fun. Corina said it was the best wedding party ever. Thanks also for letting the little budding drummer have a go while you were setting up and for letting Chris have a go too! You were friendly, organised and went with the flow as well as keeping our party going until the end. Thanks again, Becky and Chris - Married 20th July 2019
A massive thank you to you and the band for the other week!! Lots of great feedback from our guests; we all thought they were just brilliant :)!! Cheers and thanks again!! Adele & Gareth - Married 17th April 2019
The guys were absolutely awesome - first dance, set list and crowd interaction all brilliant. Please pass on our thanks, they ensured everyone had an awesome time and the dance floor was packed. So many guests asking where we found them - I think they will be v popular in years to come. Thanks for all your help, Ian - Married 26th August 2018
It occurs to us that we haven't been in touch since our wedding on 7 July and we just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you. Your help in booking a band was really appreciated and we were so glad that we booked The Flyaways. Not only were they really friendly, but their music was incredible. They created the perfect party atmosphere and our friends were going crazy on the dance floor. Exactly what we'd hoped for and a brilliant way to end the day. Please pass on our thanks to them and we wish them all the best. Thanks again, Lisa and Doug - Married July 7th 2018
Awesome band! Thank you all so much for making my partner’s 40th an absolute blast. Fantastic live music, great organisation in the run up to the event, and a really varied and brilliant repertoire. Absolutely love that you learnt ‘Stacy’s Mom’ specifically for our party - made our night. Thanks again. Would highly recommend. 40th Bday Party London - 12th May 2018
Hi Chris, Thank you so much for your help in signing the Flyaways for Phoebe’s Party on Saturday, the band went down a storm. Not only did the boys play their socks off, but they were charming to have around too. I hope they enjoyed playing. Best wishes, Louise - 21st Birthday Party, London - 7th April 2018
Hi Guys, We wanted to get in touch to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding and for providing the best set we could have hoped for. The music was incredible and each of you were friendly and really lived up to our expectations. We searched long and hard for a band that we liked and really struggled so we will be recommending you to everyone we know - we were so impressed. We loved that you blended in the music from our DJ between your sets to create a seamless transition - especially when you started playing Prince! The musical variety was really good and the quality was excellent. We felt like were at a proper gig with a really top quality band. You were great at interacting with our guests and we've had nothing but positive feedback from everyone in attendance. Thank you again - we will definitely be coming to see you play live the next time you're in London to say hello and re-live a truly memorable night! Also a mention to Eddy and Chris who work with the band behind the scenes and were great to deal with in the lead up to our wedding. It certainly makes a difference to work with professional and organised people so we are very grateful. Ben and Jenny - married at Woburn Abbey Sculpture Gallery in March 2018.
