We contacted Bruce looking for a singer for our wedding. Right from the start Bruce was friendly and chatty and ensured we got exactly what we were looking for. We booked Sam Rae and are so pleased with what we got. Sam even learnt a new song for us on his guitar and sang it for our first dance. All of our guests commented on how good Sam was and how lovely his voice was. Sam sets such a chilled tone and that's exactly what we wanted. Thank you Sam and Bruce for making our wedding day magical. Lots of love The Emersons 09.09.19

Bruce from Need Music provided sound tech services at our wedding in August 2019 and did an absolutely stellar job. Despite a last minute venue change due to floods, to a venue with pretty challenging acoustics, Bruce managed to get an incredible sound out of the 7 piece band - many guests commented on how awesome the sound was. Could not recommend highly enough!

Bruce DJ'd at the 1st North East Military Ball and was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual and very accommodating to all my last minute changes. He had everyone up dancing playing a good selection of music. We will be booking him again for next years event. Thanks again.

Can't recommend Need Music highly enough. We booked Aimee Lambert through Need Music to sing at our wedding and she was incredible. Also, Bruce was a pleasure to deal with, friendly, helpful and responded quickly to any queries we had.

Very happy with the DJ provided by Need Music for a family party to celebrate my husband and my 60th plus my nephew’s 30th birthday. From the first contact with Bruce everything has been outstanding and professional. Bruce answered all questions and was extremely helpful. Chris our DJ was amazing and had everyone dancing all night. So many guests informed us how much they loved the music. I would not hesitate to recommend Need Music outstanding in every way.

I'd just like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Need Music who made our Rum Tasting Event complete with the sounds of Holly's Steel Pan Band. It went down a treat and what a great bunch of girls! We would love to have them perform here again, we all had a great time!

Kieran and Patrick recently performed at my parents' 50th wedding anniversary party. They were a big hit as they got the tone just right meaning that they were perfect for the occasion. I would have no problems using them again (and Need Music in general) for music at events.

I used Need Music to find an acoustic singer for my engagement party and I have to say they are brilliant. They were so helpful, excellent service & such a fantastic variety of talented singers/musicians so much so that I found it really hard to choose. In the end we chose Harry Smethurst and he was amazing, everyone commented on how fantastic he was & asked how we booked him etc. Will defo be recommending Need Music & Harry, thanks for such a brilliant night!

Used Need Music a variety of times over the past year and has provided excellent service and acts. Bruce is friendly, organised and even committed to attending the first few sessions to make sure everything went right. Fast response and has helped me out over a busy festive period when most other agencies couldn’t provide an act. I’ve used acoustic performers and saxophonists, all of which have been professional and the quality of music has been great. Would highly recommend for any business looking to put on some live music or music entertainment in the North East!

Amazing DJ service for our Engagement party would highly recommend Bruce and the DJ we had for any event. The DJ had everyone up and dancing and only played music we asked for. The booking process through Need Music was seamless and very easy. Bruce was always there to answer any questions and did so quickly and efficiently.

Need music organised my mothers 70th birthday party from first meeting Bruce I could see I was in safe hands. Providing a dj and live music I also ask if the musician could learn a specific song which ment a great deal to my mother which was no problem what so ever. My mother and her guests had a fantastic time. I've no doubt that it was down to the professional approach brue and his acts bring Was definitely a day to remember for all, would recommend need music to anyone after a truly memorable occasion. Thanks Need music

Bruce is doing great things with the company. Coming from a musician background himself he understands the exposure that a lot of acts sometime need and he now has years of experience of providing this through NEED Music. Top bloke.

Need Music is a fantastic events company which allows young musicians the opportunity to play live music in different locations across The North East. I have already been given several opportunities for different gigs across Newcastle. Having no prior gigging experience, it has allowed me to play in live in different pubs and bars in Newcastle which I have found to be great fun. The other musicians who I have been lucky enough to watch are of very high standard and there are a range of performers, who are all suitable to different locations , such as restaurants, pubs and bars. Would highly recommend the company to young musicians who want an opportunity to play music live and also to bars and pubs who want some live music in their venue!
