Rocked it out on Eel Pie Island
Nik H booked The Dukes for their event in London • October 2024
“Just brilliant. Look no further. Just book them. The Dukes played our music icon fancy dress themed party on Eel Pie Island and completely and utterly rocked the place! Not only a great set list but a fantastic, talented and professional set of musicians who absolutely smashed it and had everyone up dancing and just blew everyone away. Leo such a great guy to deal with and the rest of the band were too. Arrived on time, set up sound check no fuss and then boom! Genuinely if you want a band to make your party memorable you will be hard pushed to find anyone better. Thanks again Leo / The Dukes”
Trevor C booked The Dukes for their Wedding in Hampshire • August 2024
“Having seen the The Dukes perform at my Daughter's wedding back in December 2021 at a Hotel in Lewes, East Sussex. When it came to our wedding on 10th August this year. There was only one band to book. They are just the best for any occasion when you want the room to rock, and get everyone up dancing. They have a great repertoire, with all their covers right 'on point'. They interact with the crowd, and are really nice guys. Thank you Dukes for making our wedding memorable and super special. Trevor & Zoe”
Catherine K booked The Dukes for their event in Kent • July 2024
“After reading reviews and watching their videos, we booked The Dukes for our village's annual outdoor Music Night and hoped for a good evening. Wow! It wasn't a good evening, it was a brilliant one! The band got everyone up and dancing almost from the start and their musicality, vocals and rapport with the audience was exceptional. Thank you so much for making Saturday night so memorable.”
