The most amazing live band we have ever seen! Our guests LOVED them!

We booked Moving Mars for our wedding after seeing a video of their rock rendition of Tina Turner's Proud Mary and instantly falling in love with them! And oh my, they did not disappoint. They sounded AMAZING and myself, the groom and all of our guests absolutely loved them. I've had so many messages from the guests about them since the big day saying how great they were. I definitely recommend them if you're wanting to rock out and hear the most AMAZING guitar solos! They're absolutely lovely guys too. Thank you so much Moving Mars for making our wedding even more amazing!

The best wedding band ever! According to us and our guests!!

Total Affect played at our wedding at Mitton Hall on Saturday 11th June 2022 and we were overwhelmed by the response form our guests. The band were absolutely fantastic live performers and the song list was perfect for us and our guests. We love classic rock and the band played many of our favourite songs and our guests danced from the first song to the last complete with two encores.
We would recommend Total Affect very highly indeed. x

A truly great live band - they had the audience dancing form the first song right through to the last. Highly recommended.

Each year we hold an outdoor festival/live music event which has proved to be very popular and attracts approximately 300 - 400 people. Having booked Moving Mars for our event, they were highly entertaining and sang a wide range of some great rock classics in a 90 minute performance which got the crowd dancing from start to finish and still asking for more. They engaged with the audience extremely well and all 3 of the group ranging from each had their own lead vocal styles meaning that they could play a much wider range of material and songs to suit all tastes featuring great harmonies from the likes of Queen to the Eagles. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a fabulous evening of great songs and truly lovely gents who will keep you entertained all night long.

A brilliant band that I would highly recommend

Total Affect played all our favourite rock music from the 70’s through to the 90’s. The frontman was funny and chatty, they had people up dancing all night. The thing we liked the most though, was the fact that all three of them sang, meaning they could do anything from Tina Turner to AC/DC. Fantastic. Plus great guitar skills to boot!!
