Review Centre: Rock 'n' Roll Bands

"This was as ever a great night's entertainment by a group of musicians who are masters of their craft. Kit is a consummate entertainer and very funny to boot. One Jump Ahead are always great value for money and you are always assured of a night of music and mirth."

"We couldn't have been more pleased that we picked The Romantics as our wedding band. Aside from being really talented musicians and incredibly professional in the lead up to the wedding, they were absolutely phenomenal on the day and really got everyone involved. The fact that they moved around was also amazing, as it worked well for a summer's evening when people wanted to be outdoors, as they also got to dance and sing along outside without missing out. I couldn't recommend them enough to anyone looking for a band for an event and so many of our guests are still saying what a great choice they were. We absolutely loved you guys! "

"I knew that The Shake Rattle and Rollers would be good but (they) were far more than that; absolutely amazing. "

"They were amazingly relaxed and flexible - exactly what you need on your wedding day when nothing seems to run quite to plan!"

"Hi Ben The band were fantastic and lovely boys too! Loads of people said how great they were and they managed to get us oldies up and bopping no problem! Just the right volume for people to dance or chat Ben arranged the sets and play list really well with no help from me as I was busy enjoying myself. The birthday girl loved it. Thank you so much. I understand they arranged the fab weather too..."

"Thank you so much for playing and singing Bob Dylan's Wedding Song so well and your version is the one running through my mind and is my new favourite! It is great to have the link and we have both enjoyed listening to it again. We had a great day and you contributed to that so thank you. Very best wishes, David and Gill"

"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"

"Thank you so much for Saturday! Everyone had an amazing time and loved you guys! Our roaming band The Romantics were AMAZING! They really started the night off how it meant to go on! As our venue was quite small we chose a band that could move around and really get involved. Singing and dancing non stop! We had our first dance to ‘Anyone’ by Justin Bieber but a beautiful acoustic version. Everyone in the room sang along unplanned which was so special. "

"Alex and the band came to our venue at 6pn and set up ready for the 1st dance at 7pm. From them they played 2 sets and Managed the DJing in between. They were brilliant! From the start to the end the music they played was excellent and they sounded great. We had so many compliments from guests wanting to know who they were. I was in communications with Alex a few weeks prior to the wedding. he was happy to send me his set list but was also happy when I requested he not play some of the songs on the list. I told him I was into a certain band and he went out of his way to add that into the bands set list, which was brilliant. I cannot recommend them more. Thank you for everything, you were all amazing!"
