Jamie and The Top Cats

"Revives enthusiasm for live music" The Stage

The Top Cats are a school themed band who have performed over 1000 shows and toured over 30 countries. They repertoire boasts over 200 hit songs from The Kings of Leon, Queen, The Killers to Otis Redding and The Rolling Stones: there is literally something for everyone. To top it off, this highly sought after group have released three albums which have been downloaded over 500,000 times.

Last years highlights included performing at the Nokia Christmas party, being the band selected to entertain those Rovio techies at the exclusive launch of the new (and super cool) app, 'Angry Birds Go', being re-booked to perform at the annual sales rally for Sony Playstation, Sega and EA Sports, and being chosen to perform at The 50th Anniversary of Toyota Corolla at London Guildhall.

The Top Cats are often found performing at weddings and private events at venues such as The Hilton (Park Lane), Cliveden, Old Trafford, Villa Park, Stamford Bridge and The Great Room at Grosvenor House (Park Lane). They are highly experienced in performing at every type of events from small stages in marquees to the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival.

During their performance, The Top Cats will teach you a lesson or two in the art of making music! Putting their own spin on classic party songs, The Top Cats cram hit after hit into their tight, non-stop high energy, entertaining show. Year after year they have grown and developed into one of the most booked bands in the UK.

The Top Cats are highly experienced, having been in the industry over 15 years. They know what songs work and which order, they use only the best equipment (ask them, they'll show you), they'll answer any questions you have and they are one of the most hard-working genuinely decent bands around. Oh and they wear animals hats on their heads. What's not to love'

Hi Jamie, Harriet, Stuart, Ben and Mike! Thank you all so much for being a part of our Christmas Party! Wow, what a night we all had! I had told everyone how amazing you would all be, and the feedback was all about how much they loved you performing! The staff at the venue also commented on how fab you all were, so I'm sure you are on their list of bands to book! I'm still aching from all the mad dancing, but that's just a sign of a good night lol! ;) Thank you from all of us at Nokia UK!

The band rocked, they played brilliantly all night'was there no end to their repertoire! Andrew Pearce 40th Birthday party, Windsor

To all the guys in Jamie and The Top Cats a huge thank you from the entire family you were absolutely fantastic! We had a great day and the music was out of this world. You had everyone on the dance floor all night. Everyone has commented on how good the band was and asked for your details! We wanted to say thank you for an amazing night's entertainment. All the very Best Errmal and Kate,

Hi Jamie, Just to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding on the 9th - you were incredible! Everyone has been saying how great you were, you really made the night perfect for me. I didn't get to speak to you really on the night, so thought I'd drop you a line. So thanks a million. You're brilliant!!

Dear Jamie, Your band was brilliant and made the wedding go with such a big bang. We cannot thank you enough. Lots of love, John & Jacky

Just a quick note to say thanks for the sterling job you did at The Bull Hotel. You really made the party and everyone I spoke to mentioned how fantastic the band was. I will definitely be recommending you in the future! Thanks again, Natalie & Gary

Kerry Brooker (The British Pain Society Corporate Event, Old Trafford):
'Jamie and the band got the dance floor crowded on their first number and it stayed that way throughout the evening. Dancers of all ages thought the band was fantastic. You made it effortless!'

They were truly amazing. Jamie's vocals were sublime and quite frankly I couldn't take my eyes off him all night. They played songs that appealed to all ages and really got the party started. They were so professional from start to finish and all my guests were very impressed.
Lesley Coyle, wedding (Formby Hall Golf Club):

Hi Jamie - just a quick note from honeymoon to say such a huge thank you for providing the best wedding entertainment ever. We have honestly never heard so many compliments from wedding guests regarding the band - and I think just by the fact you had the dance floor packed from start to finish was testimony to that. The boys were superb. A good few guests have asked for your details as they were so impressed. Thanks again Jamie, and we'll be keeping an eye on your website for future events as you have 2 devotees on your hands!! Take care, Nickie & Graham

Hi Jamie,
Thank you very much for all your services which I found extremely professional and helpful. Jamie and The Top Cats were an incredible band that gave us exactly what I was looking for: a lot of fun and great music round it with a great entertaining performance. Jamie, Neil, Matthew, Dan and Stu were all are great people which made it all more enjoyable for me and my friends. I am sure you made a few friends in Poland. Thank you very much again and wish you great success, Miguel Choy

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all your help, and for providing us with such wonderful musicians. Jamie and The Top Cats was just brilliant! They played so many of our favourite songs, they had everyone up dancing immediately, & everyone just wanted them to go on and on! They were brilliant, great fun, & incredibly professional. I would definitely book them again, & encourage anybody else to do the same! Without exception, all of our guests commented on how brilliantly they thought the whole wedding was, with such brilliant music and fantastic band.
