Ashley S booked The Rips for their event in Leicestershire • December 2023
“Great Evening had by all!”
Alexander B booked The Rips for their Wedding in Staffordshire • September 2023
“The Rips were absolutely fantastic. We couldn't have hoped for a better band for our wedding. I think the fact that the dance floor was full from the minute they took the stage speaks for itself. A few people were even up dancing during the sound check. They played a great mix of the classics and more modern stuff, and their cover of our first dance song was brilliant. Thanks again guys for a great night, and for honouring the booking even after having to postpone due to covid etc. We would 100% recommend you to anyone planning a wedding. People are still texting us saying how great the band were.”
Great performance and fantastic to work with

They were flexible in their approach and were happy to engage in the planning to talk through how it would be best to incorporate them into the day. They played various sets throughout the event and were fantastic at engaging spectators.”
