We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding. From the moment they started playing, they had everyone up on the dance floor and created an absolutely fantastic atmosphere.
They were incredibly professional, talented and entertaining, but more importantly, they really understood how to get the crowd going and kept the energy going all night, especially with the Ceilidh section which went down really well. The dance floor was packed, and our guests have been full of praise for them ever since.
They were a huge part of making our wedding such a memorable and special occasion. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a brilliant live band — they were simply outstanding!

The best ever. We were lucky enough to have Rico sing at our wedding during the day and the band play at night.
All we can say is they are fantastic, the best, wonderful, talented. We started out booking a singer and ended up with a friend.
Don't look any further, just book Rico for all day, you won't be disappointed.

Hi Guys,
Me and my wife would just like to say how great Rico Franchi & The Unknowns were at our wedding reception on Saturday! They were absolutely amazing and everyone was raving about them. To hear live music at all right now is brilliant, but to hear the standard that the boys produced—it really did help make our wedding really magical and literally the best day of our lives!
Anybody looking for a band for any occasion, then this is the band for you. Absolutely brilliant.

Hi Rico,
Thank you and the rest of the guys for performing at our wedding.
You were fantastic from start to finish! Thanks also for learning our first dance, we both preferred the unknowns version to the original! Helen wants a copy!
All our guests were raving about you and you certainly have our recommendations in the future.
Thanks once again.

The Unknown's played at our Wedding on Friday 9th February 2018. They were fantastic! Their music is great, and many people complimented the songs of the night. They performed our first dance 'A Groovy Kind of Love' perfectly, even adapting their style and touches to it to make it still a unique rendition. Rico even honoured us with a take on the Italian song 'O Sole Mio' at the end, which we loved. They are all friendly, professional, and easy to work with leading up to the big day. We would highly recommend them as a talented and entertaining wedding band. Thanks again guys, and we hope to catch up again soon.

To 'The Unknowns', who played at our wedding on 9th February 2018 at Lochgreen House Hotel. Debbie and I can't thank you enough for what you did for us. You guys were amazing, and played truly great music! You hit our first dance 'A Groovy Kind of Love' bang on the head, and even gave us a rendition (I hate to say it Phil) that we even love more than the original. Even Rico's closer with 'O Sole Mio' was so fitting it was a memorable night we will not forget. Thank you guys!

I would like to say the biggest thank you ever to these guys. They selflessly donated their time and incredible talent to support me last night at my Brides ball in raising awareness and money for Alzheimer Scotland, this felt special as they were also my wedding band 5 years ago, They make you feel like they are there,not only because it’s their job but because they genuinely want to be there. I could not recommend them enough for your weddings/ celebrations, they have the dance floor packed all night long. They are extremely busy and that speaks for itself so don’t delay in booking them you won’t be disappointed. Xx

This band are amazing. Living in Newcastle we had to book a band for our wedding without seeing them live and went for the Unknowns. We needent have worried as the band were fantastic!!!!! The song list is great and not your typical ' cheese' wedding band music - a really fantastic mix which had people on the dance floor all night. So many people asked me on the night how we had found this band and also afterwards - I still have people commenting now on how great the band were at the wedding. Thank you for also letting the best men step in for a bit of a sing song during the night! You were so lovely and helpful to deal with right from booking to the event itself - quick to get back to emails and so friendly,... Thank you so much - we were delighted with the music on the night and had the best night of our lives. We have still to view our video camera and might have some good clips or your music so would be happy to pass them on. Would definitely recommend you as would everyone that was at our wedding. THANK YOU!!

Hi guys, just wanted to send you a massive thank you for your fantastic performance at our wedding on 27th June. Everyone thought you were amazing hence the 'one more song' chant at the end which just added to an already fabulous atmosphere! You played a great selection and people were dancing the whole night. Quite a few people have been asking us about you so hopefully that means we'll be dancing to your music again some day!
