"The band were great, turned up on time, were really helpful calling out the cake cutting for me. They had covered a Jimmy eat world song for our first dance, which was awesome. Had so many comments from guests saying how good they were. Also the whole booking process was very straightforward, was never in doubt about anything. Would highly recommend!"

"Where do we start? The band was absolutely amazing, we had the best time with them! They really got people up on to the dancefloor and interacted with our guests throughout. They really made our evening celebrations perfect. The acoustic duo set they played was also brill, and really added to the atmosphere. We're looking for an excuse to hire them again!"

About us

If you’re looking for a great wedding and function band that offers something a little different, we might be just what you’re after.

The Newfangled Jesters are an enthusiastic and energetic pop/folk duo playing a range of music to get everyone up and dancing. Some say we have a Mumford and Sons vibe and we're fine with that. From the biggest party tracks to the perfect slow dance “the jesters” are guaranteed to get the party started.
