The great city of Manchester has always been a hotbed of musical talent and the wedding band scene is no different, there’s a great variety of acts available in the city and here’s a bijou selection of them…

First up, if you’re after a vintage style wedding band then have a listen to these guys. Manchester based five piece the Riviera (above) are an outstanding group of professional musicians who create a vibrant live act, putting a contemporary twist on the classic 1930’s gypsy jazz sound. Whether entertaining clients in a busy city bar or creating a beautiful mellow ambience for an early evening event, The Riviera never fails to please an audience.
