Review of New Years Eve with The AC30'S

very good

Review of New Years Eve with The AC30\'S

Overall quite a good night. The band was very good. The Caribbean food was good. The initial atmosphere when I arrived at 9 pm was rather poor in the main room. Could have been greatly improved by a visaable DJ who interacted with the party goers!.
No arrangements for people to eat their meal out of the plastic container!. Extremely slow bar service inside. Very slow to clear the few tables. However the band saved the event! Great music and interaction with the crowd.
Some party poppers for the midnight hour would have been nice. Overall a decent night to welcome the new year! Well done AC30

Review of The Blue Piano

Four of us booked for New years eve , Caribbean food and band £160. 7pm - 2am.
Really enjoyed the band AC30s and would definitely go and see them again but at a different venue.
However the venue, food and organisation was shocking!!!
Arrived at 7pm and was told where the bar is, which we were lucky to get the last table as so small. After a while we spoke to a member of staff on times of food and band ( saw table's set up in another room and assumed it was for our food) was then told the table's were for separate dining. Our food would be served around 9.30pm in the marquee.
We were asked to move to the marquee, only part covered slippy floor and cold. The staff eventually sorted the heating which was abit warmer.
The food was brought out at 10pm in a polystyrene container (no choice) this contained abit of rice, coleslaw & goat curry. SHOCKING!!
The band started at 10pm, which was inside. Small area and little space to see the band and dance.
We would never use this venue again!! Totally overpriced!!!

Review of New Years Eve with The AC30\'S

Very bad organization! We were expected to have proper dinner around 7/7:30 and then the live music around 10. We got there and they told us around 9, there will be dinner and showed us the bar area. There was limited sitting area and so we had to stay in the garden for like 2 hours. Around 9 we go to them asking about our table for dinner and they keep us waiting. And finally around 10 some one hands over two packs of take away food (low quality food) and we were shocked! She says the tables are for VPN guests while there was no clear indication of this when we booked our tickets. They made us standing there for nearly 3h and no one mentioned there will be no table for dinner and then handing a take away food! Very low customer service and lack of communication. The venue was not ready to host all those people and the music started very late. We didn’t even stay to listen cause we were very disappointed and hangry we left! Would not recommend it this place at all and we waited £80 for nothing!

Review of New Years Eve with The AC30'S

ac30s were amazing the venue was small for the amount of people there. overall a fantastic night

Review of Ac30s

The location was good although drinks were very pricey. On the night there was problems with the sound which was disappointing. However AC30s did a decent job.
The outside space on a pebbled garden area is ok in fine weather but would be a problem if the weather was poor.

Review of Ac30s

A very enjoyable evening, the music was great with good choices of songs performed by the band.

Review of Ac30s

Fantastic venue. Reasonably priced drinks.The Ac30s awesome as usual.

Review of Ac30s

Suprised to discover that it was an outside event but thankfully the weather was kind. Delayed start due to some technical difficulties but the band were well worth the wait. If you like reggae from back in the day, Ska, Rocksteady, these guys are well worth a visit. Nice laid back venue and audience👍

Review of Ac30s

Once they got going (it took the band almost 2 hours to get themselves ready with little or no explanation to their audience why there was such a long delay) they were very good. The music and their wit ensured that it was a performance to remember. They were absolutely spot on with their cover versions, as good if not better than the originals!
I'm really surprised that I've never come across them before as they are a local band and play music I really love.
The venue itself was a bit chaotic with insufficient tables and chairs and the drinks were quite pricey unfortunately.

Review of Ac30s

A great musical experience.
Nice outdoor area but would benefit from a "raised stage" so band is visible to all of the audience.

Review of Ac30s

Always fantastic to see the AC30S they never fail to deliver well worth the journey south from Teesside to Birmingham. Looking forward to there next show.

Review of Ac30s

Great night and music

Review of Ac30s

Always a good weekend when we go to see this Band. The blue piano venue is a great place for a garden reggae party with AC30’s playing and everyone dancing. Would highly recommend this place and group to family and friends to stop visit and enjoy.

Review of Ac30s

They didn’t play much of the popular or well known ska music .

Review of Ac30s

Great band.
Venue could have done with more tables and chairs. Also don't think tables should have been reserved for a ticket venue.
It was also very disappointing there was not jerk chicken etc was not on sale as advertised.
