Review Centre: Rock 'n' Roll Bands

"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"

"I booked Off The Wall for my mum's 80th birthday party. They were tremendous. Three charming gentlemen with such great talent. If you want to have a great party...book them! They are very versatile regarding venues, we were in a large double garage and they catered to our needs so well but can do what ever you require. Big, small, loud, quiet, old, young!!! Cant wait for another reason to book them. I had so many fab comments from our party guests of all ages. I guarantee you'll be delighted if you book Off The Wall."

"A massive thank you to the House of Chords who performed at the Stan Bowley Trust annual ball at Alton Towers last night. All of you should be extremely proud of your performance. From the moment you arrived you were obliging and worked with us to get the best visual and sound effects we could. I have been organising this event for nine years now, and without doubt you are the most amiable, obliging and talented group to have graced our stage. The guests flocked to the dance floor from track one, and did not sit down until the end of your long set. The quality of your performance from an organisational point of view was outstanding.....I am sure we will meet again!!!"

"I would just like to thank you for making my 50th birthday such a special night! As you could probably tell it was a total surprise – how Helen managed to keep that a secret I’ll never know. You guys made the evening exceptional playing all my favourite tunes and also allowing me to assist with vocals – sorry about that! You were a great set of lads, very polite and nothing was too much trouble for you. Everyone who came to the party had a fab time and many commented on how good the band were. It’s hard to cater for everyone’s taste in music but you got it spot on playing all Helen asked for and many more, you kept everyone entertained – as you could see by the amount of people on the dance floor! Once again thank you for making my 50th birthday such a special night that I will remember for a very long time. Thanks for everything guys, you were fantastic!"

"The Mustangs were absolutely amazing when they played our wedding in August! The dance floor was packed all night long and when it got to 12.30 and their set had finished and we realised we hadn’t put a playlist together for the last half hour they very generously let us keep their equipment going and use their playlist till the end of the night! So many people have commented on how incredible the band were since! Fully recommend these guys! We loved every second! "

"Brilliant! Spent the afternoon at a Prosecco festival and these guys did 3 sets of up tempo music ranging from the 50's to current hits. Did them all brilliantly and kept the dance floor full all through. I can't recommend them highly enough they were great."

"Gary played for me this weekend at my fiftieth birthday party. I really enjoyed dancing to Blame it on the Boogie, Brown Sugar and All Right Now to name just a few. My friends said it was the best party they had been to in many a year and that the live music made it really special. Gary even sang a few songs I requested on the night. He really made my day."

"Everything about this Group is utterly fabulous, from easy communication and arrangements ahead of the event, to no-fuss setting-up and easy mingling amongst friends. They sound incredible, (seriously, if you're in any doubt about guaranteeing a fabulous night with a wide range of music - book these guys!) and the eclectic mix of music ensured that everybody got up to dance and enjoyed themselves. The lighting and general 'staging' also added to the occasion. Thank you so much. You completely Rock!"

"It’s easy to see why Tony and the band receive such excellent reviews. Linda and I had a fabulous evening with top drawer Rock ‘n’ Roll taking us back to the great times we had all those years ago. Our family, friends and neighbours all commented how much of a good time they had, and that includes people too young to remember the music first hand! The band were all extremely friendly and approachable. I cannot recommend the East Coast Rockers highly enough and look forward to seeing them again. Thanks fellas!"

"A sparkling performance for the whole set. They played what we asked for, brought the whole selection to life, kept people dancing non-stop and are great individual performers in their own right. Also, they are a great bunch of blokes who were easy-going when the timing changed a bit and were very happy to fit in with us. I could not think of any way they could be better. "
