Great Evening

5 stars - The Rips are Highly Recommended
booked The Rips for their event in Leicestershire December 2023

“Great Evening had by all!”


Perfect wedding band

5 stars - The Rips are Highly Recommended
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.”

Amazing band, highly recommend

5 stars - The Rips are Highly Recommended
booked The Rips for their Wedding in Leicestershire September 2023

“We hired the rips last weekend to play at our wedding, an acoustic set during the drinks reception as well as the full band during the evening. The music was brilliant and the band were friendly up most professional, even when the dancefloor was limited due to some bad bar ques and mistimed food. The set list during both acoustic and full band was perfect, kept everyone going and dancing. Had a lot of compliments from guests regarding the band Perfect end to the night with the band gathering the guests around me and my other half to the final song Highly recommend”
