We hired them for our civil partnership reception because we wanted a proper rock n’ roll band and not a typical ‘wedding band’. They have a great repertoire of old and new songs of various genres. They even played songs we specifically requested for the occassion. They were fantastic on the night and our guests loved them, as did we. We would thoroughly recommend them.

Probably one of the best Rocking bands I've heard. These guys can play a storm and really connect with their audience. Everyone was dancing - a great time was had by all! They made our street party really special.

I saw them perform at the Paradise in Kensal Green and immediately booked them for a private party. They light up the stage and their energy is just so infectious - you want to dance all night.
