Vic Cracknell - Party Band, Wedding Band, Live Music Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex. Solo Act

Vic Cracknell is a professional live music performer who plays solo or Vic Cracknell Band at Parties, Weddings, Functions, Pubs, Clubs, Civil Ceremonies in Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex, Berkshire and London. Email me for bookings availability at vic.cracknell@btinternet.com or call 07917 403052 (do leave a message if I can't answer).

In booking me or my band you will be dealing with me personally, and not with the additional cost of an agency, to ensure everything goes smoothly and in a professional manner. For functions, parties or weddings I also provide playlist music (dance orientated or background) on iPod for when me or the band are having a break so a complete package for your event with no need for additional disco. This is the latest testimonial for the Vic Cracknell Band:

"We had a fantastic evening and from the feedback we've got so far so did our guests. You and your band put on a fantastic performance and the music enticed the young and old on to the floor all night, I was very concerned that the dance floor was going to be too big when I first saw it but I was happy to be proved wrong!

Thank you so much to you all for your throughly professional performance, sorting out our first dance music and allowing my nephew to be the compere! We had the perfect night and you played a big part in that.

Thanks again and best wishes,"

Sam & Tim (Wedding 26^th June 2010)

PRESS CLIPPINGS
"Supporting Albert Lee: Mention should be made of Vic Cracknell who started the evening off and set the mood. Not only is Vic a fine musician but also a supporter of live music"

Malcolm Ward, Farnham Herald

"If you haven't seen Vic Cracknell live yet, it won't be for lack of opportunities. The local 4x4 of the music scene, covering all sorts of terrain from solo appearances, open-mic sessions and gigging at festivals. "

Maria Virto, Surrey Advertiser
