About

The Confessions are a professional party band based in Essex and Suffolk, playing weddings, corporate events and special occasions across the UK and further afield.

Every booking is different, so the band will work with you to get the music and the shape of the evening right. Special requests are welcome, and the set can be adapted to suit the crowd and the occasion.

About the band

The Confessions were formed in 2015 by Glen, Scott and Paul, who had already spent years performing in function and wedding bands together.

Members of the band have toured in the UK and overseas, appeared at major festivals and worked in television, radio and recording studios. Their credits include sessions for artists who have reached the UK Top 40 and the US Billboard charts.

They bring that experience to every booking, but this isn’t a show that runs on autopilot. The band pays attention to the room and knows how to keep a dance floor busy.

What’s included

A typical booking gives you two hours of live music, along with professional sound and lighting. Recorded music can be provided before the band starts, during the break and at the end of the night, so there’s no need to arrange a separate DJ.

Several packages are available and can be adjusted around your venue, schedule and budget. If there’s a particular song you’d like performed, just ask. The band is always happy to learn something especially for the occasion.
