Boogie Train is a six piece function band playing classic pop floor fillers from the last five decades.
Professional Musicians
In Boogie Train you will find some of the UK's finest professional musicians who have worked with acts such as the Animals, the Rubettes, John Coghlan (Status Quo), Linda Gail Lewis (Jerry Lee Lewis' sister), Clive Bunker (Jethro Tull), Eric Bell (Thin Lizzy), the Firm, the Newbeats, the Casuals and many, many more. Only this level of musicianship can create live the kind of polished sound audiences are used to hearing on TV and radio.
Equipment
The equipment carried on the road by Boogie Train is of the highest quality. This includes a 5kw tri-amped PA system and a fully choreographed lighting show. Using state of the art equipment allows Boogie Train to have a very discreet stage setup that will not detract from a client's beautifully laid out room.
Weddings & Events
As a professional function band Boogie Train are very easy and pleasant to work with and will always try and accommodate a client's specific needs or requirements.
Hi David,
I just wanted to drop you a note about Boogie Train I booked for my Ball on the 23d March 2013.
They were exceptional in their musical performance and very professional as a band, despite the horrendous weather that day they still managed to be on time and stayed right to the end.
Janet’s communication with me on the day was very reassuring and on the night was extremely pleasant and helpful and provided all that was required.
I would also like to thank you yourselves for providing an excellent service, I have never booked a band before and the whole experience was easy and was guided throughout the whole process by Belinda and yourself.
I will be chairman next year and the mantle of organising my next ball will be down to my new vice chairman, I will pass on all your details and recommend that he books a band (quite possibly Boogie Train again) through your agency.
No doubt I will be in touch with you in the future but thank you once again and can you please pass on my regards to Janet, Scott and the rest of the band.
I am more than happy for you to add a testimonial for you and the band to your website
Kind Regards
Mark Luck

Just wanted to say a BIG BIG thanks for all you did for our wedding. The performances were fantastic and we've had such positive feedback from everyone who attended. Many couldn't believe how quickly the dance floor filled each time you came on. You all did a fantastic job for our first dance and thank you so much for making our day so special.

I wanted to just drop you a line to thank you and the band for a great night at the wedding. The music was great and you certainly managed to keep folk on the dance floor. A number of our friends have also said how good you were.

We are pleased to say that the party was a great success and Boogie Express were absolutely brilliant! The dance floor was buzzing all night, in fact I don't think anybody wanted them to stop and given half the chance the party still would have been in full swing Sunday morning!
