Rob Radley and Karl Younger coordinated the initial project to help promote the cause #LetMusicPlay and support the industry at a difficult time. The final video of the #LockdownCovers series signals the start of another nationwide lockdown. We would like to showcase the hard work that went into this cover version by promoting it to the wider public and supporting the fantastic charity YoungMinds.

We booked Into the Sun for our wedding at Lanwades Hall in Suffolk, and they were incredible! Such engaged performers - people stayed on the dance floor the entire night. They played a great mix of old classics and some more unusual songs too. They were easy to communicate with and super professional. Strongly recommend!

I could not have asked for a better band for our wedding night! As soon as I heard Rob’s version of Everlong (our first dance) it was a no brainer, and the more we spoke the more we found a lot of common ground in our music tastes. They are an incredibly talented group and Rob was so responsive and helpful through the whole process. Cannot recommend enough - thank you so much!

Absolutely exceptional! Rob and the band have real talent! A NYE wedding and they made our day complete and 100% know how to read the guests.... We asked for a party and that's exactly what we got! Lovely people to work with and nothing was too much trouble including "Layla". Thank you Into the Sun..... we will recommend you to everyone we know!

We attended a 60th birthday party on Saturday 8th July at Thorpeness Country club, the band for the event was Into the Sun. The evening was a great success, the band were superb they had a great set list and had asked for a list beforehand of songs people wanted which was really good. They instantly get the ‘crowd’ going and the dance floor was filled, this was then the situation for the whole night. They kept signing hit after hit – the actual band performance was superb. A thoroughly enjoyable night I can not recommend this band enough, my dancing shoes were well and truly exhausted by the end of the night.
