The Farleys are a Surrey-based family band of five brothers who turn familiar hits into feel-good floor-fillers with a witty, skiffle-tinged twist. Also known as Charley Farley Sunday Four, they blend three-part harmonies with banjo, saxophones, ukulele, trumpet, clarinet, accordion, guitar and drums to create a bright, acoustic-driven sound that wins over every age group. Charley, Adam, Bruce, Jason and Pete mix sharp musicianship with playful crowd work, so guests feel part of the show from the first chorus to the last. Their reputation is built on versatility, humour and a set list that leaps from Lady Gaga to The Stranglers and Tom Waits without missing a beat.
For corporate audiences, the brothers bring pace, polish and professional hosting energy. Years on high-profile stages have taught them how to read a room, lift energy between speeches and leave delegates smiling. Notably, they are Al Murray The Pub Landlord’s house band (since 2013), a role that has seen them deliver tightly produced, high-impact sets alongside major comedy and variety bills. Headline moments include appearances at the Royal Albert Hall (2016), Latitude Festival (2014) and the Edinburgh Fringe (2014/15, including the Foster’s Comedy Awards). This track record translates directly to conferences, awards nights and hospitality events, where timing, adaptability and audience engagement matter most.
For private celebrations and weddings, the brothers bring festival spirit and family-friendly fun. The music is upbeat, melodic and instantly familiar, with clever re-arrangements that keep grandparents and teenagers equally involved. Their instrumentation gives real light and shade across an evening - from breezy acoustic sing-alongs during a drinks reception to full-throttle dance-floor finales. They’re equally at home on outdoor stages and have featured at the Aldershot Picnic & Pop Family Festival, where their party-starting sets slot seamlessly among top tribute acts and local headliners. Expect quick set-ups, clear communication and a professional approach throughout.
For festivals and public entertainment, the band’s calling card is momentum: tight harmonies, multi-instrumental swaps and cheeky asides that keep crowds locked in. The Farleys’ signature swing/skiffle flavour gives every cover a fresh snap, while first-rate musicianship ensures it never feels like a gimmick. Book them when you want guaranteed audience interaction, big sing-alongs and an unmistakably British sense of fun. With a national reach from their Surrey base and a CV that includes house band duties, iconic venues and major festival credits, Charley, Adam, Bruce, Jason and Pete are a proven choice for corporate, personal and entertainment events across the UK.
