Booked for Wedding

We hired the Alchemists to perform at our wedding, and they were fantastic. They did an amazing set full of suitable songs for the occasion which had people up and dancing but were also relaxed enough for others to mingle and chat. We had to cancel our wedding 3 times over the lockdown and communication with Ryan was excellent over the year from when we first contacted them, till the big day. If your looking for a classy, professional and above all entertaining band these guys would be your best bet.

Booked for Birthday party

I hired Permission to Rock for my 60th Birthday Garden Party. Dave made sure that the playlist suited the audience and gave us a great 70's night of music. He had great rapport with the audience and my guests had a really good night.

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.

Does the band accept song requests?

Many rock bands for hire in London already have their repertoire of songs to perform for an event. However, some will be willing to accept song requests. You can find out if this is included in our suppliers’ services when you check their profile page on Poptop.

How long will a rock band play at my party?

Our suppliers offer flexible durations to tailor their performance to your preference. Most London rock bands offer two 60-minute performances for an event with a 20 minutes break. The service duration can also be divided into two or three 50-minutes sets, although they can play much longer if required. Thus, when you hire a rock band for a wedding, the bands may perform up to three 60-minute sets with a 20 minutes break. You can check the service duration of a rock band before booking on Poptop.
