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. They recently performed at a rugby league star's wedding that was filmed for Living TV's 'Four Weddings' 2010 series.

Viv & Phil's Wedding, September 09

They perform many styles of music, from The Who, The Rolling Stones, U2, Green Day, Kings of Leon through to Snow Patrol with a healthy dose of classic rock in the mix. All age groups are catered for.

"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"
Jane Travis, 40th birthday party, September 09

Their approach is that of total customer service. They will work with you and your event planner in the months running up to your event to ensure the music reflects your personal tastes and the feel/ theme of your occasion.

Helter Skelter are a serious driving force in the party band world. With their own light show and lighting engineer, flexible PA system and professional sound crew the band can cater for all types of events, from function room to 5000 capacity hall. Just let them know your requirements and they will ensure your event is totally and utterly unforgettable.

Helter Skelter also offer a 'song request service' should a couple (or any of our clients) wish to have a specific song played on their special day (first dance for example). They are more than happy to add it to their set at no extra charge (if given adequate notice).

PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGE

Helter Skelter also provide a professional photo service to ensure your event is captured forever in a beautifully packaged DVD slideshow format set to live Helter Skelter recordings and/or the music of your choice. The client also receives a CD with all photos taken on the night.

When booking Helter Skelter you are guaranteed a highly professional performance, on and off the stage.

The Skelter Boys hope to hear from you soon!

TESTIMONIALS

Maggie Smith, Joint 60th, 60th and 65th Birthday Party October 09, The Old Barn Restaurant, Baildon

"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 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's 60th Birthday Party October 09, 60's themed night, Dowerhouse Hotel, Knaresborough, North Yorkshire

"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, Wedding, September 09, Garforth Holiday Inn

"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 Wedding September 09, The Fountain Inn, Ingbirchworth, South Yorkshire

"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. Emma and Paul."

Jane Travis, 40th Birthday Party, September 09, Holmfirth

"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 Wedding August 09. Wooley Hall, Nr Wakefield

"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 Brammall Wedding May 09, The Coniston Hotel, Skipton

"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 defiantly 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."

Jill Gada 50th Birthday Party May 09, Manchester

"You and the guys were just fantastic on Saturday. Thanks so much for not only raising my street cred in the locality to dizzy heights butalso for ensuring that my 50th was as far removed from being an old farts party as you can possibly get, which is exactly what I wanted to achieve.
As a budding guitarist my son was absolutely mesmerised by the music, I have never seen my husband air guitaring whilst hopping on one leg before and had no idea that my sister has backing singer potential!! There were quite a few pictures taken, when I get them I email you the decent ones of the band in action. You deserve lots of success and have certainly got a new fan base in Manchester now - everyone without exception thought you were just brilliant! I'll keep an eye on the gig list on your website and we'll come and see you if you ever play over this way.
Thanks again for making my birthday special. Jill."
