Party Academics decided to combine their talents and create something genuinely special after their respective accomplishments. They are the ultimate medley wedding band.

The duo's expertly produced medleys highlight their outstanding vocals and instrumental prowess: expect pulsing guitar, thrilling synthesisers, and lush live saxophone as they move from one timeless tune to another.

These seasoned professionals know how to engage a crowd and will tailor each performance to the occasion.

Party Academics normally perform two live sets of evening music (45 minutes each), but can also provide DJing or acoustic sets as a supplement.

In addition to their live stage sets, they can also perform a Roaming set as an additional option to their original setup.

So, get ready to give in to the enticing beats, let loose on the dance floor, and make memories to last a lifetime!

"Wow! What can I say? The Party Academics were off-the-charts brilliant! I arranged a surprise party for my wife, which was intended to bring together her family and closest friends to celebrate how fun she is. The Party Academics delivered an exceptional performance, everyone loved them and were dancing throughout the evening. There’s often a lull during a party, but the energy created remained so high all night and that was down to the talented duo and their well-prepared act. They are brilliant musicians but also way more,: they read the room and entertained us with personal touches, funny transitions and a genuine warmth and desire to make the party a success for us. Josh was great to deal with during the planning, he was really flexible, helpful, organised and relaxed. There were no egos, just a genuine appreciation that the party wasn’t all about them and he went out of his way to make it special for my wife. Thank you guys, you’ve helped create many lasting, very special and funny memories for our friends and family! I would highly recommend The Party Academics. 10/10."

"ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE GUYS. This band is ‘the best’ party band one could ever possibly dream of. It is impossible not to love them. I am SO grateful & lucky to have had them perform for us at our wedding party. Actually - they were single handedly responsible for creating the most incredible fun vibe throughout the whole day. There was not one person seated when these guys commanded the stage. What an incredible pairing/duo. SUPER fun, full of energy, so unique - and probably the best band I’ve ever worked with. As an event organizer myself - picking a band to perform at my own wedding was a big challenge for me and I needed to get it right - but man - I couldn’t have done better if I tried. They’re exceptional. Don’t think about it - just book them. You absolutely won’t regret it. They are incredibly talented and also the nicest guys to deal with. I just love them. I want to organize more events just to experience them again. My photos just do not do them justice. Waiting for our professional photographer to share more because honestly they deserve much more than what I can show you."

"WOW... Just wow! Party Academics are incredible, they singlehandedly transformed our wedding day into the BEST party that we could have wished for. From the moment we booked (there was no other choice for us), they could not have done more for us, answering all our questions and giving us all the information we needed. The talent is overwhelming, amazing vocals, amazing saxophone solos, high energy, really friendly and fun people who get so involved with your day and ensure that your guests are having a great time! They have been the talk of our wedding for weeks and reliving the day through all of the videos has been such a highlight for us. We cannot thank you enough for making our day so unforgettable, the only sad thing is that we can't do it all again!!!"

"Remarkable evening with this duo - they kept the dance floor full all evening (about 2.5 hours in all) and even played some of the ancient rock oldies for me! Everyone at the wedding commented how good they were - especially during the wedding ceremony. Very highly recommended! Steve and Annette."
