Review Centre: Rock 'n' Roll Bands

"Just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you to you all for such a brilliant evening. You were brilliant and kept us dancing all night long. We couldn’t have asked for a better band and all of our guests have said the same! Thank you so much. Love from the new Mr & Mrs Alcock x"

"I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending House of Chords for any event. The guys in the band are absolutely great and were really flexible with their set and the music we wanted. They made our event and I would happily use them again."

"They played at our wedding and were absolutely fantastic, the setup was great and song choices were spot on. A very professional and polished performance. We had good feedback from our guests. If you book ‘revival’ for your wedding, please send us an invite as we would love to see them again ."

"Just a huge shout out to the band for playing my husbands party last Saturday. You were beyond fantastic, played longer than they were supposed to, shared the stage and their gear with a band they had never met. Utterly fab music. We have had so many letter commenting one of the best bands they have seen! We had a fab party, please pass on our thanks to all band members you made it hugely memorable and massive fun."

"I cannot praise these guys highly enough! Chris was brilliant right from the start - great with communication, he worked with me to create a track list that included all our favourite songs, he liaised with our sound technician to ensure everything went smoothly on the day and I had total confidence in him leading up to the wedding. On the day, the band arrived on time and they were absolutely excellent!! Full of energy. We had the full 7-piece band (Singer, Sax, Trumpet, Double Bass, Piano, Electric Guitar & drums) They had everyone up and dancing to the swing, jive and rock n roll. All our guests commented on how good they were. And all this for a very reasonable price. They were excellent! I would absolutely recommend this band and I'm so pleased I chose them!! Thank you Chris and One Jump Ahead. 😊"

Thanks for the great review, Vicky. It was a really fun event, in spite of the uncooperative weather! Some of us (including me) had a bit of trouble finding the campsite but we all made it without too much fuss and thoroughly enjoyed entertaining you and your guests. Just one point. Nobody knows me as Chris. I've always been "Kit" to my family and friends - otherwise people might think I'm a TV wildlife presenter! Let us know if you ever want a goof fun swing/jive band again! - Kit.

"Straight Up are an amazing band and their performance at our celebration was nothing short of sensational. They are an extremely versatile band that can pretty much perform anything! All of our guests were blown away by the quality of their performance and they made our special day even more special. "

"Went to a gig a few weeks ago had an amazing night. The music was great and the atmosphere the band brought was unreal. Loved every second. Can’t wait to book these guys for my own party. "

"The Shakesters played at The Departure Lounge cafe for the cafes’ 10th anniversary and it couldn’t have been a better choice of bands. The weather was not on our side but the band managed to get everyone dancing and keep the atmosphere lively and fun. They have a unique style which fits the cafe perfectly. We’ll definitely be keeping the band in our minds for any future events."

"I thought you were absolutely fantastic at the Running Horse, you're very talented, I mean that! My guitar was banished to the loft but I wouldn't mind having some lessons from you one day. "

"The fantabulous band were here again, incredibly marvelous as per usual! Xxx they cannot be beaten. The Elvis Presley impersonator was excellent too, .he worked the whole room. We were very impressed with his act and comic entertainment. But on the whole my heart goes out to them. The very best in my opinion! Btw l missed you Chris!"

"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. "

"Firstly, really friendly guys who were able to be flexible with what suited our corporate event. Got back to me really quickly and were early on the day to make sure they were set up. Plus played great music which I know the client loved. Would definitely recommend and book again."
