Boulevard: Your Complete Guide to Scotland's Wedding Band Fronted by The Voice's Jeremy Levif

Not many wedding bands can say their frontman has been coached by Tom Jones, Anne-Marie and Olly Murs on national television, opened for Skerryvore, and performed in front of 60,000 people at Murrayfield. Boulevard can. Fronted by French singer-songwriter Jeremy Levif, this four-piece brings a genuinely exceptional lead voice to the classic wedding band format — plus a ceilidh twist nobody sees coming. Here's everything you need to know before booking them.

Who are Boulevard?

Boulevard are a Scotland-based four-piece wedding and events band built around lead vocalist Jeremy Levif, backed by musicians well known and respected across the Scottish live scene. The band deliver a polished, professional performance every time — but it's Jeremy's voice and story that set them apart from the rest of the field.

Meet Jeremy Levif

Jeremy Levif is a French pop-rock singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, now based in Ayrshire. He's a genuine television talent-show pedigree: a four-chair-turn semi-finalist on Team will.i.am on The Voice UK in 2021, and a finalist on Team Vianney on The Voice France in 2023. On the UK show, his voice drew praise from all three other coaches — Tom Jones told him "the control that you have" stood out above everything else, Anne-Marie called his voice "incredible," and Olly Murs simply said "Magnifique."

Jeremy discovered music at 16 while at school in Lyon, France, teaching himself guitar on local open-mic stages and drawing inspiration from Jamie Cullum and John Mayer. Seeing Jamie Cullum live in 2009 pushed him to pick up piano and dive into jazz and blues. He's since released two albums — Come Hail Or Storm (2017) and C'est La Vie (2021) — with his single "Puzzle" reaching 50,000 Spotify streams across more than 100 countries and landing on official playlists alongside Coldplay and Imagine Dragons.

Beyond the TV appearances, Jeremy has opened for Scottish celtic-rock band Skerryvore, worked with Danny O'Donoghue of The Script, played alongside his musical hero Jamie Cullum at a Music For All Charity event, and performed in front of 60,000 people at Murrayfield Stadium ahead of the Scotland vs France Six Nations match in 2024. He's also sold out Ayr's Gaiety Theatre and used his music to fundraise for charities including Malcolm Sargent House, SAMH, Glasgow SE Foodbank and the British Heart Foundation.

The bagpipes surprise

Here's the detail that catches people off guard: during Boulevard's ceilidh set, the bagpipes are played by Jeremy himself — a Frenchman piping for a Scottish wedding crowd. It's the kind of unexpected, memorable touch that gets talked about long after the night is over.

What kind of music do Boulevard play?

Their set list runs deep across seven decades, from 1960s Elvis and Beatles staples right through to 2020s chart hits. A few standouts:

• Sweet Caroline — Neil Diamond
• Mr Brightside — The Killers
• Uptown Funk — Bruno Mars
• Wonderwall — Oasis
• Sex on Fire — Kings of Leon
• Valerie — Amy Winehouse
• Africa — Toto
• Don't Stop Believin' — Journey
• Espresso — Sabrina Carpenter
• Blinding Lights — The Weeknd

Plus a ceilidh set covering Gay Gordons, Canadian Barn Dance, Dashing White Sergeant and Strip the Willow.

What do reviewers say about them?

Reviews consistently praise Jeremy's communication and professionalism as much as the band's performance itself. One couple, whose original band pulled out shortly before their wedding, singled out how smoothly Hireaband and Jeremy worked together to find a fast replacement — with Jeremy's "communication second to none," making the whole process "easy and stress-free." Other reviewers highlight the band's blend of current hits, classics and ceilidh, and multiple corporate clients — including a Radisson Blu fundraiser — have praised the band without hesitation for future bookings.

Where do Boulevard perform?

They've played across venues including Balbirnie House, Cameron House, Balmoral Hotel, Dundas Castle, Rowallan Castle, Mar Hall, Lochside House Hotel, Seamill Hydro and Ayr Racecourse, along with corporate events at venues like the Radisson Blu, Glasgow.
