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.

Cheesecake were absolutely fantastic ! Nothing was too much trouble, they were fun, on time , the crowd were dancing the whole evening and didn’t want them to stop. Everyone at my daughters wedding kept asking me where we had hired them from . They were in contact before the event checking exactly what we needed and were so kind and helpful. I will defo be using them again and would highly recommend them well worth every penny . Thank you Cheesecake !

Outstanding performance by Josie. Considering the present circumstances we are now all enduring, she made such a tremendous effort to ensure everything was as it should be. Her range of music is incredible and it suited the whole ambience for the evening. I cannot thank Josie enough for the extreme lengths that she went to for our enjoyment.

Great people, great performance, great band. They gave 100% and really got the crowd going with their enthusiasm and fantastic set. I would recommend Fifty4 to anyone and will definitely be booking them for future events.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

Playing a complete mixture of music is the best way to make sure that everyone gets to hear something they really like. We don't work to a fixed setlist, but prefer to watch our audience and chop/change our music selections to suit. That way we can make sure the dance floor is always full. Our repertoire is huge and takes in all musical styles/genres such as Swing, Rock 'n' Roll, Motown & Soul, 60's, 70' Disco, 80's, Indie/Rock and of course, current chart hits too.
