About / Biography

Hello! We are The Rockabeats and we are:

• Scott (lead vocals, bass / rhythm guitar)

• Pete (drums, backing vocals)

• Jonathan (lead guitar, backing vocals)

• Alex (keyboard)

• Dave (rhythm guitar / bass)

We've been playing together since 2015 and as a group of musicians, we have decades of experience between us. We cater for parties, weddings, functions, and events, offering a complete range of set up options to suit your requirements and budget. While the five of us make up the core of the band, we may sometimes rotate our line up depending on availability, and can accommodate other instruments such as saxophone, again depending on availability and your preferences.

We have played in large function rooms, bars, hotels and marquees for all kinds of events - even stag does - so nothing is off the table.

We love playing music and having a good time and helping to give your event something special - and as such we like to put you at the heart of the booking process.

We have a huge repertoire of tried and tested songs that will be sure to get everyone up on the dancefloor - spanning a range of genres and eras to suit everyone's taste. To help make your event all the more special, we always give you the chance to make a few requests if there is something you'd really like us to play.

For weddings, we're also happy to work with you on your first dance song - just get in touch and we'll see how we can help.

Please get in touch for further information. We welcome enquiries via Last Minute Musicians, and will follow all of these up via email and phone call. Likewise if you have any questions, please let us know and we'd be delighted to chat things through and help you to make your event extra special.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Please ensure there is adequate room for the set up you've requested at the venue (particularly flt four and five-piece band set ups), with ample power supplies. Parking spaces or drop-off bays to make loading and unloading kit is really helpful also.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we can do all of this but please liaise with us in advance so that we know exactly what to bring and any additional bits you may require.


What information do you require about a venue?

Directions for the venue, including parking and loading bays, would be greatly appreciated, as well as set up times, start and end times, volume limitations and any documentation needed from us for compliance with the venues requirements, such as PAT testing certificates and Public Liability Insurance.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes we can, but please discuss this with us prior to the event so we can ensure this is either reflected in the price, set up times, and so we can ensure we have any relevant adapters needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

We've played so many it's hard to pick! From weddings to stag dos, Christmas gigs to acoustic duos, it's always something a bit different.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We play covers and have songs in our repertoire from the 1950s onwards, so anything from Elvis to Harry Styles, The Beatles to The Killers - we're very eclectic in our joint tastes. We all have different tastes in music too which is great for you as it means you're going to get a bit of everything.

Our lead guitarist is a whizz, so we do like to throw in some songs where he can throw in some solos.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We have decades of experience playing in bands - with several band members also music teachers by trade. We all got together through a mutual desire to play gigs and have fun and have been gigging ever since.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We love catering for all types of events, and helping to make yours special is what makes us happy.

We do enjoy weddings as everyone is happy and we get to be a part of those special celebrations. Seeing everyone having a great time, dancing, and singing is wonderful.
