REVIEWS ​"Working with Baz and The Benedicts was honestly an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. If you are reading this then you will know how stressful it can be planning a wedding. I just wish ALL the suppliers who we dealt with throughout the process had been as professional, communicative, reassuring and genuinely nice as The Benedicts were! On to the night itself - The Benedicts played a fantastic repertoire of covers impeccably, yet also managed to make each tune their own. This is a seriously talented and fun group of guys who are truly great at what they do, and they are still one of the main talking points from our wedding; we had so much fun and would recommend them in a heartbeat!" MR & MRS BATES WEDDING HAMPSHIRE ​"You guys made our wedding in to the most awesome party we have ever been to, and our guests haven't stopped talking about how much fun they had. An amazing, note-perfect group of musicians who completely exceeded our expectations of a wedding band!!

Punctual, easy-going, organised, professional and super talented... and so accommodating, especially for our slightly different choice of first dance!" MR & MRS ABTHORPE WEDDING SURREY "Thank you so so much for playing at our wedding - you guys are amazing!! We had so many comments in the night about how great you are and that you're the best band they've ever seen/heard at a wedding - and we'd have to agree! Thank you for playing our first dance song, your version of it really was Perfectly Perfect! The process from booking to the big day was super smooth and all our song requests were delivered - especially glad one of my favourite songs went down a storm and even got my grandparents dancing! Cannot say enough good things about you guys!!! We 100% recommend this incredible band and think you should hire them for every occasion - even for your Sunday roast! " MR & MRS HUNTINGS WEDDING DORSET ​"You guys were absolutely AMAZING!!! We could not have asked for a better evening; everyone had so much fun and did not want to stop dancing (in fact, the only complaint we had the next day was how much peoples' feet were hurting from all the dancing they had done)! We have heard nothing but praise about how good you were, and our guest have told us it was 'the best playlist I have ever heard', and we totally agree, so thank you!!! We will be highly recommending you to anyone and everyone we know, so hopefully we will see you again soon!

MEET THE BAND BAZ EDMONDSON VOCALS // KEYS // GUITAR An old-school rocker at heart, Baz can be seen posing as vocalist ‘Myles Kennedy’ in tribute acts ‘Altered Bridge’ (Europe’s only tribute to US rock band, Alter Bridge) and ‘Slash & Myles UK’ (a tribute to the music of Guns N’ Roses axeman, Slash). Both acts have seen Baz perform at hundreds of legendary venues and festivals to audiences all over the UK. Between performing as a solo artist and running The Benedicts, Baz has studied the voice under the stewardship of industry heavyweights Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), Chris Johnson (The Naked Vocalist) and Katarina Holmberg (Tigerlight), recently graduating from the prestigious ‘Voice College’ in London. He has shared stages with acts such as Funeral For A Friend, Bury Tomorrow, Deaf Havana, and performed alongside artists such as Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Pete Friesen (ex-Alex Cooper) and Justin Hawkins (The Darkness). JACK PEARSON BASS // VOCALS Shortly after graduating from Brighton MET and following the conclusion of a country-wide UK tour with his band, Jack continued to pursue a career within the music industry by studying at the famed Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London, where he counted Phil Mann as his mentor. The move to the big city offered Jack no shortage of performing opportunities, and he quickly became a regular on stages at famous venues across London and further afield, most notably Concorde 2, The Roundhouse and Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. Prior to joining The Benedicts in late 2018, Jack successfully auditioned to join the inhouse band on a number of international cruise ships, including P&O and Fred Olsen, and was able to combine his love for performing with that of travelling the world and experiencing diverse cultures. ROLAND PALMER GUITAR // VOCALS A classically trained multi-instrumentalist, Roland recently held the Cello/Guitar chair on ‘Waitress: The Musical’ in London’s West End, and on its subsequent tour of the UK. He has worked with numerous artists, most notably Jasmine Thompson, The Travelling Band, Ren Harvieu and Chloe Foy, and continues to produce and play guitar for his own project, Lesbian Plebian. He has shared billing with The Foo Fighters, Rick Astley, Pixie Lott, The Magic Numbers, OPM, The Vamps, The Feeling, Turin Brakes, and Electric Six, and has played venues such as Wembley Arena, The Cluj Arena and The Docks (Hamburg), and at festivals such as Glastonbury, SummerSonic, Home Festival, and Untold Festival. He has featured on television in the UK and France, appearing on The X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show and Made in Chelsea. JAMES GRAY DRUMS // VOCALS A cruise-ship veteran, James has been a long-serving member of the resident band for numerous cruise-lines, adding such companies as Tallink, Fred Olsen, P&O and DFDS to his ever expanding résumé. Years sailing the seven seas has allowed him to see the world whilst performing alongside some of the industry’s most celebrated entertainers. Away from the function band scene, James is a highly skilled and passionate teacher of the drums and lectures at The Rock Project, the UK & Ireland's premier school for children's contemporary music tuition. After successfully graduating from The University of Wolverhampton with a BA(Hons) in Music, he has toured the country as a member of alt-rockers, SkyBurnsRed, performing at many renowned venues alongside a number of established artists, including Orson and Basement Jaxx, in support of the release of their debut album.
