Review Centre: Rock 'n' Roll Bands

"Wow, what a singer! Lucy was an absolute star, travelling up from London with her guitarist to my party in the Midlands to help me out at short notice, as I was struggling to find an act I liked and was available for my birthday party. What I didn't realise was, not only is she absolutely lovely but she has an amazing voice, great range, a huge variety of songs and she even did me an Elvis number by special request. Her guitarist was a quality act too. I know there are lots of 10/10 ratings on here, but seriously I don't think you could give Lucy any less, if you hire her, she will make your event a special one.

The facts are that only positive comments were received on the night. My, and most other artists’ fees are clearly displayed on this website. For the record, specific, constructive criticism is most welcome and always carefully considered and evaluated.

"Hi Ben, Not sure if I got the chance to say thanks and goodbye last night, such a whirlwind of a day!!! Me and the 'wife' would like to say thanks so much, we were so pleased with the entertainment you supplied. I'm pretty sure all the guests had a great time too. You will certainly get our recommendations and hope the drive home was ok and you didn't get home too late. Thanks again Ben We loved every minute of it"

"We hired The Blue Suede Shoes for our wedding reception in May. We had already married abroad but wanted to have a larger gathering back in the UK where we could invite everyone. On the day we had about 150 people, from new-born's to a couple of ladies who were 90+. So the entertainment was quite important to get right. We didn't know what we were looking for at first, we knew we wanted live music, but we had to cater for all tastes and ages. The Blue Suede Shoes were the first band that both my (new) wife and I agreed on instantly. Thankfully they were available, even though they are Surrey based they were willing to travel deep into Kent. They have a generous play list to choose from, and even have a 'handbook' on their website with a few hints and tips about booking live music (not just restricted to weddings etc...). Importantly, they were willing to learn a couple of other tracks for us - one was our first dance and another was a Robbie Williams track which is one of my wife's favourites. From the start of the booking process Ben was very informative, clear and helpful at every stage. He was easily contacted and able to offer advice where needed. On the day of the reception the band turned up early and started to set-up without any fuss. We had a family friend DJ-ing in the same area in the evening and by the time I'd come over to greet them they'd already sorted everything out themselves. Our reception was in a marquee outside and the weather alternated between strong sunshine and torrential rain. Even though the band had a set-list, they seemed to be able to play appropriate songs for the moment. Playing 'Ain't no sunshine when she's gone' in the middle of torrential rain made everyone laugh and kept peoples spirits up. The band were also happy to ad-lib a bit for the bridal entrance which was very much appreciated. They were great musicians, willing to interact with the guests and very friendly indeed. We would recommend them without question, not just for a wedding but for any party or gathering that needed live music. They were loud enough to be heard, but not so loud that you had to shout over them. The music was perfect to sit and listen to, but energetic enough for many people to get up and dance or it and tap their feet to. Thanks for helping to make or reception so memorable. Matt & Kim"

"Too professional for words, The Back Beat Buskers came to us on a recommendation. We booked the guys for our wedding, and it couldn’t have gone better. They know how to play, and they know how to get people on the dance floor! They were just brilliant. Their acoustic set was exceptional, ‘versatile’ should be their middle name. We cannot recommend this band enough."

"Hello to you all! I just wanted to say how much I enjoy and appreciate your shows. I live Eastbourne and saw last year’s 60s show and this year’s 60s and 70s show at the Bandstand, and I always come away ”buzzing” from your shows. I have always followed music from that era. Once again sincere thanks to you all, and I look forward to seeing you next year. Best wishes, Geoff Hammond"
