"Dusk Duo - what an amazing duo! I’ve been lucky enough to hear them play on a few occasions now and it’s always such an enjoyable event. From their outstanding original music to their highly unique interpretation of well loved covers, there really is something for everyone. Soulful and heartfelt vocals, talented guitar, genuine & funny interactions and connection with their audience and cheeky twinkle in the lead singers eye mean that they are a duo not to be missed. I’m really looking forward to seeing them at one of their next gigs in November!"

"On a cold September evening on an outside stage I thought Stereo Acoustic performance was lovely. They were easy to work with and their performance was great. Nicky has a lovely voice."

"Hi Ben, The guys did a fabulous job. Everyone enjoyed their music including my 82 year old mother who I couldn’t keep off the dance floor. No doubt we will book you again. Best wishes, Jennifer"

"Matt & the band played our wedding at the end of August (4-piece band & DJ set). They are multi award winning for a good reason; Matt & the boys were absolutely fantastic. From getting the set list spot on (no easy task ensuring multiple generations hit the dance floor!) to their pitch perfect interaction with the crowd (these boys know how to work a room), they were one of the main reasons why everyone was commenting on how much of a great time they had. It was a truly fantastic party. Matt is a true professional; he called in at the venue the day before the wedding to ensure the set up on the day would run smoothly (which it did without a hiccup) and to ensure they got the volume/atmosphere just right (an important consideration as the venue was a marquee in a garden in a small rural village). On the night itself, the band arrived right on time, set the entire stage up without any interference to the wedding happening all around them, played a blinding set that got everyone, young & old, up on the dance floor for the whole night. I cannot recommend the RockPins highly enough. Get them booked, you won't regret it! Alex & Jo."

And our first dance was so much fun. Thank you for being so accommodating with the late schedule...you really truly made the wedding night - everyone was saying how incredible you were & that it was the best performance they'd ever seen at a wedding....!!!...Thank you once again from ourselves & our families & friends."

"Enjoyed many years on the road with Dale Gibson, as trumpet player with the Drifters, the legend that was Johnny Moore, always said that Dale, was one of the best players he ever worked with here or Stateside!"

"From Ben's first contact three weeks before the date to the day itself, we couldn't have been happier with our decision to book The Blue Suede Shoes. They were professional, prompt, polite, very friendly and above all played great music! They set the tone perfectly for the laid back, fun evening we'd hoped for. Many of our guests commented how good the band was. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend."

"We booked Straight Up for our wedding in April 2024, and they were absolutely amazing! We were slightly hesitant as we only had the promo video on the website to go off, but the band were even better in person. We loved that they had an extensive list of songs on their repertoire, and they happily played all 32 songs that we requested from that list! Communication prior to the wedding was clear, and the booking process was really easy. The band ensured that the dancefloor was full throughout the night, and we had such great feedback from all of our guests. They even learnt a 'last song' for us rather than a first dance, which was an amazing way to end the night. "
