They performed brilliantly like they had done it a million times over

5 stars - The Raptors are Highly Recommended
booked The Raptors for their event

“I asked The Raptors to cover us last minute for a band who cancelled on me. They were very responsive and even better, were punctual on the day. They set up and were ready to mingle before the doors opened. They performed brilliantly like they had done it a million times over. The night couldn’t have gone better than for what I thought may have been a disaster!”


They play rock n roll with such attitude and flair

5 stars - The Raptors are Highly Recommended
booked The Raptors for their event

“The Raptors performed a Mods vs Rockers special evening to a sold out venue. After such a successful evening a year ago we had to get these boys back. We asked them to play some old rocking tunes and they were the best ones of the evenings, even if they hadn’t performed them live before! They play rock n roll with such attitude and flair. We made sure there was a huge area to dance! Looking forward to the next time”


We thought we had hired the real life Beatles!

“We had The Raptors perform a short acoustic set for our wedding. We thought we had hired the real life Beatles! Great singing, and great rocking beats. You bought the 60s to now and wish we could have had more!”
