Incredible Atmosphere from Start to Finish
Not only are they hugely talented, but they were also so professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Everything ran smoothly, and they truly helped make the evening feel extra special and memorable for my Grandad and all of our guests.
We’ve had so many compliments since the party about how brilliant the band were! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any event. Thank you again for such an amazing night!
Great band! - professional and friendly
Really easy to deal with - friendly, flexible, and quick to sort things. They helped with the setlist and even learned a couple of songs that meant a lot to me, which was a nice touch. We’d asked for an alternative/rock vibe and they got it just right.
They set up in the garden with no fuss, kept to time, and got people up dancing. Had quite a few comments from friends about how good they were.
All in all, friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend.
Such a vibe!
Fantastic band, excellent value for money, brilliantly entertaining!

Meet the team
Hi, I’m Ash, lead singer and guitarist of Ash and the Anthems. I thrive on entertaining people, especially in settings where everyone is celebrating, letting loose, and having an unforgettable time.
I’ve been performing from a young age and was fortunate to write a song that broke into the modern rock charts on a major radio station. That success led to extensive touring and the opportunity to play to large audiences across the country.
Every member of Ash and the Anthems has been personally hand-picked my me, not just for their talent and experience, but for the connection we share on stage. That chemistry is what allows us to deliver high-energy, feel-good performances that truly bring celebrations to life.
I’m Giles, the bass player. I’m into heavy metal, I work as an archaeologist digging into the past, and I love playing music and entertaining people whenever I get the chance.
I’m Jan, the drummer. I’ve got an extensive history of playing music at all levels and I’m a multi-instrumentalist at heart, but I truly found my home behind the drums. That’s where everything clicks for me.
