Function band

Andover

Public liability insurance of £10 million

Formed in late 2021, Apollo are a blistering 4 piece function band who collectively have nearly 50 years of live, recording, and touring experience. To date we have raised a lot of roofs, and brought many houses down across the UK and out into Europe! Highlights have included festivals for the UKAEA, Military bases galore, a lovely Castle in France with exceptional pizza, and AutoAlex's Shedfest!

Apollo's Reviews

“These guys are the most professional and fantastic band - seriously brilliant musicians who had our wedding party dancing from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they even helped me organise to sing a surprise song for my wife. Almost everyone commented on how awesome they were and kept asking where we had found them. They were the Jewell in the crown for our evening.”

“We hired Apollo to play at our wedding this summer. It really was the best day of our lives and they made it so special. They have fantastic energy and had every single guest dancing, we have had so many people say how great they were. They are incredibly talented musicians and the frontman Sam has a great voice. On top of that they are thoroughly lovely chaps! Can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks again guys, you made our day.”
