Soundtrack to the best day ever.


We have known Andrew for years and have been aware of how talented he is for just as long. We were at a wedding a few years ago and Andrew was there for the full day. Some of the songs he was playing had us in tears (happy tears), he is amazing. We knew from that day that we had to have him at our wedding and when we contacted him, the entire booking process was very straight forward and relaxed. Andrew has the perfect balance of being professional yet personable - it feels like you’re talking to a family member or a life long friend during the catch up meetings and video calls - he made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process!

We booked the “Daytime solo, Full evening & PA package” which covered pretty much all day. The list of songs that we were sent to pick from was enormous and it was difficult to narrow these down as there are so many to pick from. We also asked Andrew if he could learn a song that wasn’t on the list and he did so without any fuss. The email and text contact throughout the build up to the wedding was exactly what we wanted, Andrew made us feel like everything was under control, and it was!

Our wedding day was exactly what we had dreamt of, Andrew’s voice and guitar playing sets the perfect tone for a wedding and his image is perfect. He is so easy going and will adapt the setlist throughout the day if needed. We had a few messages to make over the PA and Andrew sorted all of this for us without any fuss.

He was joined by his colleague Matt in the evening who is a percussionist. The energy that these two brought to our evening reception was outstanding. They made sure that our guests felt welcome but also that they were having the best night too. Andrew doesn’t just stand there playing his guitar and singing, he talks to the guests and has a laugh with them and this made it feel like everyone in the room had known each other forever. He introduced us in to the room for our cake cutting, First Dance and Dad & Daughter dances, making sure that all of the guests were there and didn’t miss it!

Andrew was at our wedding for the entire day and his energy levels did not drop for a second, we don’t know what his secret is! The feedback we have received from our guests regarding Andrew has been nothing but fantastic - he really is the best in the industry at what he does, “second to none” some might say.

We had the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been the same without Andrew and Matt. Thank you so much for making it the most amazing day.

Wedding Singer Review

Andy was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Throughout the build-up to our wedding he was always communicative, accommodating, and happy to work with us to ensure everything was exactly how we wanted it. His performance during the drinks arrival and drinks reception was amazing and created the perfect atmosphere for our guests, to which many of them said how good he was! We couldn't have been happier with his contribution to our special day and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and professional singer. Thank you, Andy!

Wow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After the most special day, we danced the night away with the 24 Live Acoustic duo! And what an amazing night it was! The dance floor was full and it was everything we could have ever wished for! Our guests loved the sets just as much as we did. Throughout the planning process, Andrew and Izzy have helped every step of the way! Thank you to Andrew and the team for making our day the best day of our lives!

Absolutely incredible 24 Live

We had Andy and Matt from 24 Live perform at our wedding on 22nd August 2026 and we honestly cannot recommend them highly enough!
From start to finish they were so professional, friendly, and made everything completely stress-free. The communication beforehand was excellent and they really listened to what we wanted.
The song choices were AMAZING. They nailed the perfect mix - beautiful, emotional songs for our ceremony / first dance, and then an incredible party setlist that had our dance floor full all night. Every single guest has commented on how good they were.
They completely made our day so special and brought such an amazing atmosphere and energy. So many people asked where we found them!
If you're thinking of booking them - do it! Thank you so much Andy & Matt for making our wedding day unforgettable.

You Made Our Night!

We couldn’t recommend 24 Live enough! Andrew was excellent in the run-up to our wedding and made everything so easy, we genuinely didn’t need to worry about a thing. They were absolutely brilliant on the day, and so many of our guests commented on how good they were. They really did make our night and created such an amazing atmosphere. They also made our first dance so memorable. Thank you so much!

My 50th party

I have seen Andrew play a while ago and saw him again at a wedding at the end of July when he was superb. I asked him at short notice to play at my party in August and he agreed to travel straight from a wedding he was playing at, to play for 3 hours at my party. His performance was brilliant and made the night truly memorable. I live and work abroad so people travelled from various countries and everyone said how great he was. Thanks Andrew and your awesome drummer and for making my 50th one hell of a bash! I would highly recommend to anyone having a party, wedding, or any function when you need some tunes playing at a more than reasonable price. Cheers and thanks again, Jon

Amazing from Start to Finish

24Live were phenomenal, from the start at our ceremony, whereby he had our guests in tears with our ceremony songs, to bring the vibes during the drinks reception and finally keeping the dance bouncing all night long. We cannot thank you enough or recommend you more highly to other couples. So many of our guests have commented on how fabulous the music was and even not yet engaged couples are wanting you guys for their wedding. Andrew made the process of booking, selecting music and arranging with the venue seamless, even helped us out with song choices for a very indecisive couple!! Thank you for making our day so special!

10/10 - the best!!

Andrew was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the very first conversation, his communication was fantastic – he was always friendly, responsive and made everything so easy. He put so much time, effort and care into making sure everything was perfect for our wedding day, and it really showed.

His performance was amazing and created such a lovely atmosphere. So many of our guests commented on how talented he was and asked where we had found him! He truly helped make our day feel even more special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better live singer.

If you’re considering booking Andrew for your wedding or event, don’t hesitate – you won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much for being such a memorable part of our day!

Amazing addition to the day!!

We had a last minute idea to book a singer for our wedding. We had seen Andrew at an open day and luckily he was available with short notice. He was a great hit with the guests. He even helped my Son perform a secret song for myself and my Husband. I just wish we could have booked him for longer as he was amazing!

So good our guests booked him!

24 Live are incredible. Andrew is so professional, fun and thoughtful. He played our cocktail hour, first dance and the beginning of our evening party and was exceptional! The dance floor was packed, so many people said how talented he was, even some of our guests booked him for their parties! Also, we asked for our first dance to be tailored and Andrew did it so perfectly, and made it such a special memory for us. Highly recommend - worth every penny!

What a guy!!

Andrew performed at our wedding at The Woodman Inn on 26/06/26, despite it being the hottest day of the year he did not disappoint. Right from the first email, to our catch up a few days before and every stage inbetween he was easy to communicate with and a genuinely lovely guy. All our ceremony song choices were performed perfectly, we left Andrew to chose the playlist for our drinks reception, wedding breakfast and cocktail hour and he created the best vibes we couldn’t have asked for anymore from him. Lots of lovely compliments from our guests. We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding so perfect.

Fantastic! The best wedding investment!

We hired 24/7 Live Acoustic Band for our wedding, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the whole process, making everything so easy and stress-free.

On the day, they created an amazing atmosphere and had everyone on the dance floor all night. They were incredibly professional while also being relaxed and friendly, which made them a pleasure to work with. All our guests were so impressed by them, as were we!

They offered fantastic value for money, and we couldn’t have asked for a better band for our special day. We would highly recommend 24/7 Live Acoustic Band to anyone looking for talented musicians who know how to create an unforgettable vibe!

Our wedding 11.07.26

Andrew and Matt were absolutely incredible. Nothing was too much for them. From setting the scene with some emotional slow acoustics, to ramping up the atmosphere at exactly the right time. They made our day so special and all of our guests commented on just how good they were. Not just brilliant musicians, but also super people. Couldn’t recommend enough

Would highly recommend!

Andrew that was absolutely brilliant! What a gig you did! The dance floor was absolutely rocking! We can’t thank you enough honestly it was just everything that we wanted. Our first dance outside and the first set you did outside was just amazing. And then to get everyone up and dancing and singing inside was again just brilliant! Everyone was coming up to us after and the day after saying how brilliant you were! Andrew was so great to work with, getting our ideas and giving us suggestions prior and on the day was so flexible! I could not recommend Andrew highly enough!
