Tess And The Durbervilles

» Profile

From the smouldering vocals of Dusty, to the four on the floor disco romp of Gloria Gaynor, from the pop sensibility of Kylie to the 50s authentic sounds of Elvis, Tess and the Durbervilles have it all. Covering artistes as diverse as Aretha Franklin to the Scissor Sisters and Madonna.

As a four piece, Tess and The DUrbervilles are a slick and professional outfit, fully self contained with quality PA, monitoring, stage lighting, and effect (disco) lighting. They are happy to run a disco, or background music between sets at no extra cost.

The band always arrive early for a show, and can be very compact, (can fit in an area 6ft x 6ft), and only require an electrical point(240v). All their equipment is P.A.T. tested and they are covered through public liability insurance.

They play to suit the occasion, be that a quiet dinner dance or a rowdy works Xmas party! Can learn your favourite song for your first dance at your wedding and offer the use of their PA for speeches etc.

Thank you so much for being such a fantastic band, travelling such a long way to put the best finishing touch to our special day. We have had so many people say to us what a fantastic time they had because of the band being so good. Once again thank you so much.

Thank you very much for being fabulous entertainment at our wedding reception. We were both touched how you had all taken the time to learn our first dance and thought it was a wonderful version.

Thanks again for making our evening reception such a fun celebration, we and all the guests thoroughly enjoyed Tess & the Durbervilles.

Thank you for making our evening so special. You guys were really fantastic. At times I did not even realise you where playing, you were so good.

Just a note of sincere thanks, to you and the band, for playing and performing superbly at our wedding on Sunday. We really enjoyed your music, and many guests agreed that you were the perfect band for what was the perfect occasion. We are grateful to you for traveling on the sunday, and thank you also for your professionalism and reliability, as you put our minds at ease from when we first contacted you. You will no doubt be recommended!!!

"Sue and I would like to thank Tess and the Durbervilles for the great performance last night they made the event and where a hit with a wide age range. The group were friendly, professional fun and made a great sound in a difficult hall (acoustically) We would not hesitate to recommend them"
