The Stereo Jacks played for the birthday night of a 3 day celebration, Bobfest. They were awesome. They kept everyone up dancing and singing along. People were shouting "one more song" at the end as they had enjoyed the evening so much. All the feedback from my guests was how great the band was. I couldn't have been happier with them.

Fantastic evening!!! I booked Run For Cover for my dad’s 70th birthday party and they were perfect. Throughout the evening (and afterwards) many people commented on how good they were and how they ‘made’ the party. They were very approachable, friendly, accommodating and professional. Communication before the event was excellent and incredibly helpful. I would recommend them wholeheartedly!

Fantastic band. We had Oliver and his band play in our garden party and they were simply fantastic. Played to right music for the crowd, were extremely approachable and enjoyed mixing and chatting with the guest. Will be having these guys play again next summer.

We couldn’t recommend The Beat Pilots enough, an amazing band who got our wedding party up dancing and singing along! Our guests loved them and so did we. We will definitely be booking them again for future occasions. Thanks very much for a great nigh. Lauren & Tony Brown

"The Radio Stars were a Brilliant Band. They were dead easy to deal with and arrange the event with. On time for set up and had all the kit that they needed. Great playlist and are really easy to listen to, many of the tracks sounded almost exactly as you expect them too. With them having both a Male and Female vocalist the range of tracks they could play was excellent. Managed music all the way through the evening whether they were playing or not. I got a load of compliments for the quality of the band from guests and several requests for their information, think that indicates that they went down well."

Can a rock band in Essex provide PLI & PAT certificates for my venue?
Most rock bands must submit PLI & PAT certificates before performing at an event to guarantee safety. Our suppliers prioritise safety by ensuring that all equipment is properly maintained and tested before use. Rock bands will provide a PAT test certificate if required. While it is normal to be concerned about the safety of your guests and the success of your event, you will need to inform the rock band to provide a PLI certificate before your event. You can confirm with the supplier during the booking process.
Should I book a rock band in advance?
In most cases, Essex rock bands demand that event organisers place their bookings days before the event to prevent disappointment. Booking in advance will help the band prepare the necessary things that will be needed to ensure a smooth event experience. You will need to secure the availability of our suppliers at least a day before your event if you want to hire a rock band on Poptop. Some of our suppliers require event owners to book their services two days before the event date.
