"The Band was superb in guiding us through the preparation for its gig - our wedding reception no less - not least of all in its patience with our frequent delays in getting back with requested information! We asked for a "Dublin/ Temple Bar" feel to the gig and that is what we got in spades. We have no doubt that the Band would have presented other music styles equally as well. Our 80 plus guests loved the performance, as did the 10 or so staff at the reception venue. The manager of our local folk club booked the Band - taking its details that very same night - for a club performance at date to be arranged. The Band's fee for the evening was very competitive for the performance and the help we were given in its preparation. The Band arrived in good time, set up quickly and demobilised swiftly and tidily. Please feel free to contact us via the booking agent - who was also superb - if you might wish to verify this volunteered reference. "

"Matt, Thanks to you and the band for Saturday night. You guys were absolutely awesome and the dance floor was rammed all night. It was exactly what we wanted, and brilliant highlight to our wedding day. Everybody was commenting how good you were. Thanks for travelling so far, and for making it all so easy to arrange. We shall be recommending you far and wide. Regards, Liam Jackson."

"Just a quick note to say thank you for playing at our wedding evening party. You were all amazing, we expected you to be good but not that good. We have had many many people saying how good they thought you were so hopefully we will generate you some more bookings and give us the opportunity to see you play again. Thank you for making our perfect day even better."

"Jamboree James was a superstar! He turned up early to set up at the pub, he sang amazingly and he got the crowd dancing in no time. My friends and family have complimented on how well he did. Thank you Jim for making my husband's birthday party a party to remember!"

"Played almost without a break from 2012 until 2013. Well, O.K., it was just for a few hours at my New Year's Eve party! Wish it had gone on for a year - we had such a great time. Roll on 2014!!"

"It was FANTASTIC - the dance floor was totally packed all night which is a testament to how great the band were. I have been receiving emails and texts all day yesterday and today, each one of which mentioned how great the band were. Rachael did such an amazing job at keeping everyone dancing madly the entire time. The DJ was also a good addition. We’ll definitely use you again next time if you’re available. Many thanks again for making the ball such a magical evening, there were lots of footsore people around West Surrey yesterday morning!"

"We were after a great live band for our wedding, and boy did these guys deliver! We received many comments afterwards on how fantastic the music was with some saying it was the best music they'd heard at a wedding (and we'd agree!). Their sound is very polished from the guitar playing (incredible solos), to the vocals, drumming and harmonies. They have a comprehensive and large setlist (available on their website) playing everything through from rock classics, indie gems and modern pop, from 60s to present day. Matt is very responsive to the audience's mood and requests, so the dance floor was packed all night. Really easy communication with Matt beforehand, we made a few particular requests which were incorporated but left the bulk of the song selection to them as we were confident in their setlist, and also made requests for the DJ setlist. They can be booked as either a 3 piece or 4 piece, we went for the latter. Matt was really helpful on the general sound set up throughout the day, and was flexible to timing changes. Lighting was also impressive. Thanks to the Rockpins for making our day so memorable!"

"I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you and the guys for such cracking entertainment at our wedding. We had the most fantastic day possible and for people who aren’t known for dancing, we certainly seemed to spend a long time trying to strut our stuff on the dancefloor! Your efficiency during the booking process and the lead up to the wedding and your professionalism on the day were second to none and we felt hugely confident in you as suppliers. We also really appreciated you learning our first dance to do live, so thank you for that. We have had so many comments from our guests saying how good you were too so you were appreciated by the masses as well as us! We’ve just passed your details on to some friends of ours getting married in November so you may well be getting some repeat business and seeing us again!"

"We had TIDE at our wedding on Saturday and honestly they were the best! Our dance floor was full all night long. We were apprehensive about booking them because we hadn’t had the chance to see them perform so could only go on all the great reviews we read and so glad we did as they were fantastic. Every question or request I had before the day was answered straight away by Olly and nothing was too much. Thanks again guys!"

"The perfect band for a perfect party! We were so over the moon that The Dukes could play for us. My wife and I would like to thank them for learning the song that we had for our first dance many years ago. Could not recommend highly enough! Perfect!"
