Guests loved The Shakedown

5 stars - The ShakeDown are Highly Recommended
booked The ShakeDown for their wedding in Wiltshire

“Unfortunately my wife and I didn’t get to enjoy The Shakedown as much as we’d hoped with photos becoming very important due to weather conditions but having said that our guests had nothing but great things to say about The Shakedown. The band reacted brilliantly to last minute weather changes which meant different set up locations. Our guests said how brilliant acoustic sets were to create a beau...” Read more


Lovely bunch of guys who throw a cracking party

5 stars - The Sonics are Highly Recommended
booked The Sonics for their wedding in Buckinghamshire

“We LOVED having the Sonics at our wedding. In classic wedding style, the speeches were overrunning - but rather than start setting up they waited and started slightly later for us which was really flexible and appreciated. They played all the greats, the dancefloor was NEVER empty, and I genuinely thought they were just really lovely guys too. They did a fantastic rendition of 'Green Eyes' by Cold...” Read more


Absolutely hit the spot. Passionate vocals and sublime guitars.

5 stars - That 60s and 70s Band are Highly Recommended
booked That 60s and 70s Band for their event

“I've seen That 60s and 70s Band a few times now, they absolutely hit the spot. Passionate vocals, sublime guitars that really show this band's influences, good solid bass, all underlined by one of the coolest no-fuss but maximum effect drummers. And a great set list - I especially love Fortunate Son and Shake Your Money Maker, I defy anyone not to jump around! I've been playing in bands for more ...” Read more

The Dukes brought the party!

5 stars - The Dukes are Highly Recommended

5 stars - The Rips are Highly Recommended
booked The Rips for their event in Surrey

“We booked The Rips for our Students' Union Summer Ball and they were amazing! Honestly one of the best decisions we made was booking them. They were great with the crowd, sounded amazing and made the night really special. Really great at communication and working with our venue team. Just truly really nice guys and fab musicians and entertainers. The students were actually sad to see them leave ...” Read more


Amanda Rowe & Ray Clarke

5 stars - Groove Train are Highly Recommended
booked Groove Train for their event

“Simply fantastic service, communication and performances. Absolutely MADE our wedding … the band created a brilliant atmosphere that made everyone feel included and involved. What talent, and what a band!”


They put on a brilliant show

5 stars - The Fulltones are Highly Recommended
booked The Fulltones for their wedding

“They were absolutely BRILLIANT and catered to all our special requests and even took a request off a family member mid set. They put on a brilliant show and even took the show off the dance floor to keep people coming back and making a vibe. They were also early and such pleasant guys to speak to and I cannot recommend them enough!”


Could not have hoped for better

5 stars - Riptide are Highly Recommended
booked Riptide for their wedding in Surrey

“Riptide were absolutely fantastic at our wedding, they played a great setlist of hits that both older and younger guests all enjoyed but despite spanning different eras it all flowed naturally and they kept the dance floor busy from beginning to end. Could not recommend highly enough if you're looking for a guitar based band for your event.”
