The Nicholas McDonald Band

You asked for it, so here it is. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Nicholas McDonald Band!

 

Overview

You asked for it, so here it is. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Nicholas McDonald Band!

 

Nicholas took the UK by storm when he featured in the nation's biggest TV talent show X-Factor, reaching the finals in 2013 and coming runner up to winner Sam Bailey. 

After the show he signed to RCA and toured successfully, performing in massive venues across the UK. He's been busy with solo performances up and down the country, but we're constantly asked if he could perform at weddings and events with a band.

Now, after months of auditions and hard work, we can reveal that The Nicholas McDonald band is now available to book exclusively with Hireaband - Scotland's favourite entertainment agency and one of the biggest in the UK.

We've brought together the cream of Scottish musical talent to support Nicholas and quite frankly they sound fantastic. The videos on this page are 100% live and done in 1 take. No fancy autotune here - this is exactly how Nick and the band sound live. 

We expect this sensational band to sell out fast, so if you're planning a wedding or event, no matter when it's taking place, get an instant quote right now by submitting an enquiry.

The Nicholas McDonald Band

The band, The Nicholas McDonald band, played at my daughter's wedding and I must say we were all very impressed. The music was fantastic and the volume was just right too which was very important to me as we had some older guests who normally don't enjoy live music. Nicholas as so nice to everyone and the band were real gentlemen. They sounded great and really added to Claire and Phillip's big day.

When we found out you were available for weddings we were desperate to see if you were free on our date. Hireaband was brilliant and confirmed straight away that we could book you. To say we were delighted with the whole day, but especially the reception party is a massive understatement. Our wedding was perfect and The Nicholas McDonald band played a massive part in that. Thank you all so, so much.

The Nicholas McDonald Band

Despite the problems we were having wit our timing, the band were very patient and easy to talk to. Once they got started (our fault) people made up for lost time and we couldn't believe it when we saw the dance floor. Rammed all night. Just brilliant and all we wanted and more. Thanks boys - you were awesome.

Sorry it's taken so long to send this but we both wanted to say how much we loved The Nicholas McDonald Band. They were so easy to deal with and so flexible. Their version of our first dance had us both nearly in tears, my mum was a mess :-)
We had a fantastic time and all our guests were asking how we got him. I've passed on your contact details to them. I hope that's OK?

Top band and lovely guys. Our first dance wad gorgeous and they were sooo nice to talk to. Nicholas was really patient with everyone that wanted their photo taken with him. I had to tell them to leave him alone so he could get back on the stage after the buffet. 10 out of 10 from us.

Brilliant band, brilliant night. Highly recommended.

Please pass on our thanks to Nicholas and his band for a wonderul performance at our wedding on Friday. They totally filled the floor all night long. I've never been at a wedding where the dance floor was never empty like ours. They just kept playing hit after hit and we were knackered by the end! I'm so glad they're now doing weddings and that ours was one of the first they played at. Dead chuffed and dead happy.

The Nicholas McDonald Band

What a night! We knew Nicholas and the boys would be good, but they blew us away. We kept who our band was a secret. It was great to see folks faces when Nicholas came on with the boys and did our first dance (which they did beautifully by the way). Lovely guys and great fun too. Thanks again.
