Yvonne's Voice. Tambourines in Every Hand. A Floor That Never Stops.
Amplifive don't just play to a crowd. They pull the crowd into the show. This five-piece wedding band is built around Yvonne, a frontwoman with a vocal that commands the room from the first note, backed by a tight live band on keys, bass, drums, and guitar. But the thing that makes an Amplifive set different from any other band on the roster is what happens in the audience. Tambourines get scattered around the room, guests get drawn into the performance, and within minutes the line between stage and dancefloor disappears entirely. It's a party format that turns guests into participants, and the result is a room full of people who feel like they're part of something rather than watching it.
The Sound
Yvonne's voice is the anchor. She brings power, range, and a stage presence that fills the room whether she's delivering Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, or Ariana Grande. The male vocalist adds a second dimension, handling everything from Ed Sheeran and The Killers to The Proclaimers, and the two voices together give Amplifive a versatility that single-vocalist bands can't match. Behind them, the live band lays down a sound that's tight, punchy, and built for dancefloors rather than background listening. Keys, bass, drums, and guitar lock together to deliver each song with the energy it needs, whether it's a Motown groove, an indie anthem, or a 90s dance classic.
Your Setlist, Your Way
The repertoire is focused and deliberate: every song in the set is a proven floor-filler, with no deep cuts or slow spots to break the momentum. Couples can request favourites and flag songs they'd rather skip, and the band will learn a first dance with notice. The setlist spans decades and genres, from Fleetwood Mac and Whitney Houston through to Clean Bandit and Little Mix, with a strong selection of Scottish crowd-pleasers and 90s dance anthems. On the night, Amplifive read the room and adjust, keeping the energy where it needs to be for the people in front of them.
The Tambourine Effect
It sounds simple, but it changes everything. Tambourines placed around the room give guests something to do with their hands, break down the inhibition barrier, and turn even the most reluctant dancers into active participants. Reviews mention it every time: the tambourines went down a storm, there were sore hands the next morning, the kids were in their element. It's a small, clever touch that creates a completely different atmosphere to a standard band set, and it's one of the reasons Amplifive consistently deliver rooms where the dancefloor is packed from start to finish.
What's Included
Amplifive arrive with full PA, live instruments, and stage lighting included in the quote. Standard performance runs from 8pm to midnight with a 30-minute break and background music throughout. The band are flexible on timings to suit your venue and schedule, and are experienced at working alongside DJs or other performers across the evening. They carry full public liability insurance and all equipment is PAT tested.
What Couples Say
The feedback is consistent and enthusiastic: packed dancefloors, outstanding vocals, and an atmosphere that guests describe as the best wedding they've attended. The tambourines come up in almost every review as the detail that surprised everyone and made the night feel different. Couples describe children singing along with the band, older guests who never dance getting on their feet, and a room-wide energy that felt personal rather than performative. The Rad Hotel Group, who book Amplifive regularly for corporate events, describe them as "amazing, outstanding and awesome" and note that they never fail to deliver regardless of the event.
Who They're Perfect For
Amplifive are built for couples who want every single guest on the dancefloor, not just the usual suspects. If you picture a frontwoman who owns the room, dual vocals covering every genre, and a party where your guests are shaking tambourines, singing along, and talking about the band for weeks after, this is the five-piece that makes that happen.
