Our Friends Electric 80s Band

Testimonials

Wedding, May 2025

Manor House, Abbots Langley

“As we grew up in the 80’s and having seen OFE a couple of times before, we knew that they would be the perfect band to play at our Wedding Reception and boy were we right.

We were lucky enough to have two lead female singers, Robbyn and Anna and they, along with the rest of the band, sounded fantastic. Everyone was up and dancing and in party mood from the get go. We even got a bit of Madonna which is possibly not in OFE’s usual repertoire but great for a Wedding Reception.

We have had so many of our guests tell us how much they enjoyed the band and asking for a link to their site. We can’t thank OFE enough, it was the perfect party for a perfect Wedding”.

Louise and Mark

Wedding, May 2024

Syon House, Brentford

“Dear Rob, Dan, Anna, Ian, Mark and Miles,

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your amazing performance on Saturday at our wedding – it was everything we were expecting/hoping for … and then so much more.

You really got the whole place up and dancing – everyone at the wedding has commented upon how great you all were and how much they enjoyed the music (and not just people of our age – even the generation below were dancing, singing along and loving everything).

We are so looking forward to seeing what videos everyone has made and enjoying the night again and again.

Thank you for making this all work for us – Our Friends Electric will always have a special place in our hearts from (i) playing when Victoria and I first met and (ii) playing on our wedding day – we very much look forward to attending your gigs in the future.

A huge huge thank you again”.

Victoria and Amit

“Just wanted to write and say thank you to you and the band again for last night. Lots of nice comments on Facebook this morning.

It was a real case of spirit in the face of adversity and you guys battling against the weather made a massive difference. We really appreciate your time, commitment and your professionalism. Hopefully you all got home safe and sound. Fingers crossed we get better weather next year and, if the experience hasn’t put you off, we’d love to see you again”.

50th Birthday Party, November 2018

Welwyn Garden City

“I first saw OFE at a friend’s birthday party and knew I had to have them for mine. They were so easy to deal with and arrange for the night. I had family and friends travel from France, Kent, Liverpool and numerous other places with everybody commenting to me your performance was fantastic and they loved every minute. From the first beat to the last you filled the dance floor with the 80s classics that we have all grown up with. It has made my 50th one I and all my guests will never forget.
I can not recommend them enough. Thank you OFE. “

“Bewdley Festival had a memorable Party Night on 15th October 2016 due to a great show from Our Friends Electric. The dance floor was full all evening as the band played wonderful hits from the 1980’s from Human League to Duran Duran to Toyah to Spandau Ballet and many more. They were easy to deal with, turned up on time and were totally professional. Thank you Our Friends Electric!”

Social Event, October 2014                 

Burnham Park

“Our Friends Electric arrived in good time and were very professional in both their set up and sound checking, the lights looked great and the communication beforehand was also very good. From the moment they started playing they had everyone on their feet and dancing and this did not stop until the night had finished. We have had some brilliant feedback from the guests who came along for the evening saying that the band were one of the best bands they’d seen. A real party atmosphere was created and the set list included all the big hits of the decade. We will definitely be booking Our Friends Electric again next year.”

Louise Reid, Operations Manager, Burnham Park


School Social Event, February 2014

Tewin

“We would like to thank all the band members for an outstanding gig in our humble village hall on Saturday! Both Hazel and I had an absolute ball! You really brought those 80s classics back to life. A number of people have commented to me about your authentic sound and attention to detail and judging on the number of punters dancing & singing along on the night, they really appreciated your energetic and ‘tight’ performance. I thought you sounded great in the hall and really made it an extra special event fundraiser.”

Wedding, September 2012

Hitchin

“Wedding bands can be a bit predictable, so we were very excited when we discovered Our Friends Electric at a local gig. We decided to book them straight away for our wedding. We knew our families and friends would love hearing some of the best anthems from the 80s. We weren’t wrong. The floor was full for the entire night. Thank you OFE for turning our wedding reception into a wedding party filled with nostalgia and for giving us such brilliant memories.”

Willow Foundation Charity Ball, November 2011

Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge, London

“Our Friends Electric performed at the Willow Foundation’s Annual Ball in November 2011 and were amazing. They were extremely professional, exceptional value and kept the dance floor full throughout their entire set. All in all, a real winner with our guests.”

Louise Smith, Head of Events


Yeah Baby Festival, July 2010,

Abingdon

“Our Friends Electric gave us 110% all in the name of children’s charities. Their recreation of classic hits had people dancing in the streets as they enjoyed a time-warp back to the eighties. In the process OFE generated £100’s for charity and really proved they could get any party started. Thoroughly recommended.”
