Fronted by father and daughter Holly and Charlie, whose voices blend into the close harmonies the band is known for, and backed by Tim on bass and Mark on drums, they play classic hits from every decade, picked to fill a dance floor and keep it full. Tracks fill out the arrangements and add the textures a song calls for, and extra musicians can join for a bigger sound on request. Based in Sevenoaks, Kent, they bring their own PA and lighting, so everything you need for the night comes with the band. Don't be deceived: The Distractions will have you believing your favourite artists have just taken the stage.

“Just wanted to say that you guys rock! Great musicianship, very joyful atmosphere and the girl is just spectacular, I love her voice and expressiveness, also the singer/guitarist harmonising on vocals is spot on, the drummer is just killing it, and the bassist is in the pocket. You sound great, guys!”

A band with three musicians performing. The guitarist in the center is wearing a floral shirt, the bassist on the left is playing an electric bass, and the drummer on the right is playing an electronic drum set. They are indoors, with bright stage lights and white curtains in the background.
