About


The Phonics are an internationally renowned Postmodern Jukebox style jazz and swing band from London. Inspired by the US group Post Modern Jukebox, The Phonics hit the UK in late 2016 with their own unique arrangements of modern pop songs played in a vintage style, and have since become one of the most sought-after bands on the function circuit.

Fronted by vocalists Amanda and Hayley, who captivate their audiences with their engaging and energetic performances, The Phonics are the perfect choice for black tie events, festivals, vintage-themed parties and weddings!

Their 7-piece band will take your event by storm, but The Phonics also offer everything from a 5-9 piece line-up, meaning you can even customise their line-up to suit the size of your event.

Event: Wedding
Location: Surrey
5/5

I just wanted to drop you a note to say that The Phonics were EPIC at the wedding last weekend. There are no other words to describe them, what a talented bunch! Was the most amazing day and they were a huge part of it. I would not hesitate in booking them again. Amanda was a joy to deal with and I think I’ve found a new best friend for life - she’s amazing! The swing trio were everything I wanted and fitted the theme perfectly. To see them playing as guests enjoyed canapés, champagne and a vintage funfair in the (thank goodness) August sunshine, made the wedding what is was.
