Booked for Wedding

We hired Rock The Night for our wedding in May and they really brought the energy! Jake was very professional and communicative with us throughout the process making the admin feel effortless and putting us at ease from the start. The band were kind enough to learn our lesser-known first dance song and performed it brilliantly. They brought a real energy and buzz to the evening and the music and singing was fantastic. Their knowledge and flexibility was great when arranging the setlist and the DJ playlist in-between sets to suit our preferences. We had lots of compliments from our guests on how great the music and energy was which kept the dance floor busy all night. Rock The Night made the evening feel so special, I would definitely recommend them for your event! Thank you from us and all our guests.

Booked for Wedding

Funk City Band were perfect for our occasion. We wanted a band who'd get people up and dancing and they did that perfectly. Craig was very helpful and responsive in the lead up to the event too.

Booked for Birthday party

I booked Bourbon Street Party for my 40th birthday. From enquiry to booking, it was a seemless process. The play list was quickly sent and suited our taste in music brilliantly. On the night the guys arrived early and were set up ready to go. The music was great and got everyone up. For any event, BSP are recommended. I will certainly book them again. Banging tunes!! Thank you guys!
