Union Jack
Union Jack are an awesome Bradford based three-piece Pop/Rock outfit that have successfully entertained crowds throughout the UK with their slick high-energy live show, even taking the show several times to Pennsylvania, USA with a fantastic reaction.
They are a professional, versatile, totally live act able to adapt to any situation, cramming more songs into a set than almost any other band. All three are great musicians who never use backing tracks and often segue and medley the biggest tunes of the past thirty years into a seamless party set. The band can also perform an unplugged set where a more laid back set is required to start the evening.
They have a very full sound, easily doing justice to the great guitar based songs of the 60's to present indie hits and cover tracks like Sit Down, I Saw Her Standing There, Park life, Breakfast At Tiffany's and countless others.
Totally dedicated to giving 100% entertainment to any audience.
New for 2013 Union Jack can be booked with their Beat The Band show which is a Pop Quiz with live band and audience participation...details available upon request.

We saw Union Jack perform at my fiance's brothers wedding at Rookery Hall in 2014. It was the wedding of David Hughes and Rachel. We really loved the band and the atmosphere so are really interested in having them at ours.

Mick and the guys played my team conference last week in Blackpool and went down a storm. Everyone was raving about them the day after (whilst nursing some sore heads). They are great to deal with, really professional, flexible and brilliant musicians. Totally recommend!

Mick and the rest of Union Jack made our wedding night very special, and so humble with it. Nothing was too much for these genuine people who really entertained the young to the old, and with the mix of great hits from themselves and bandeoke from some of the guests (when I let them get the mic off me) this was something that can be described as special, and will be remembered all our lives. Thanks again guys.

Saw this band last night at Hopton Holiday Village Haven. They were absolutely fantastic. They got everyone dancing and their song choice was great. The best ever entertainment I have ever seen at a Haven camp and we go a lot due to having children. I am also going to write to Haven about this group to say how great they were.
-Hayley Moran
Hi,Union Jack have been recommended to us by a friend so it would be great to find out if they are available on our wedding day

I've heard really good things about Mick that we had last week. He's really impressed a lot of people, so I'm sure we'll have him back in the future.

Saturday night was buzzing thanks to Union Jack enhancing the night at Brynowen. Every single member of the audience was singing and along and dancing in their seats.
Union jack were set on time before evening entertainment had started. The guys were very helpful moving equipment back and cooperated with everything we needed. Owners and holidaymakers were still asking when Union Jack were next back days later. Sound was perfect and great mix of songs to keep the dancefloor full.

Union Jack are amazing! We hired them for our wedding in August. The communication before the gig was brilliant and any questions myself or husband had all got answered and made the planning and organising so easy and hassle free. The fact that there performance was so high energy and got had people on the dance floor through out they even managed to keep it up through their doing sets to. Would definitely recommend and book ourselves when needed. A guest at the wedding even rand us up the day after and asked about them for there wedding. You made our evening reception exactly what we wanted thank you so much guys loved every minute.

-Paula Buckley Sept 2012
The Union Jack recently played at our wedding reception and were fantastic, they even learned a first dance song that we had requested. All the guests were up dancing, even the older portion. They played a wide range of music and kept everyone intersted. Would definitely book them again. Richard and Debbie

"Hi Rick
Just to let you know, Mick was absolutely fantastic on Australia Day. It
was exactly what I wanted. It was perfect and I had so many comments saying
how nice it was to have an acoustic set.
It was great. Can you please thank him for me. Seriously, it was fantastic."

"Hi Alex,
I just thought I�d drop you a line as we went to Bar Risa in Leeds last night and saw Union Jack. They were fantastic and we had a really, really good night.
Mick recognised us from our wedding and came to chat with us after the set; which was really nice.
Please pass my regards to him and the rest of the band.
Many thanks, once again.
