These guys were absolutely top class, they were the finishing piece to our festival themed wedding. Had nothing but great feedback from my guests for how good these guys were.

Booked for Birthday party

Absolutely brilliant! Booked run for cover for my 30th birthday and they did not disappoint! Organisation was super easy, RFC were set up and tested, liaising with the venue and I didn’t have to do anything (bonus!). Their 2 sets were outstanding, everyone was up and dancing. It totally made my party. I’m so so glad I booked RFC they were absolutely brilliant. If you need a band and DJ that will get your party started RFC are the one 👌🏻

Booked for Birthday party

We had a great time and the lovely music was not too loud which means that the less young guests enjoyed their evening too! Thank you so much!

Booked for Birthday party

I wanted to say a BIG thank you for making my party so special. You exceeded all my expectations. All my guests complimented me on your performance and really enjoyed the evening. My party would not have been the same without you. I would not hesitate to recommend Sound of the Suburb to all my family and friends. I wish you all the very best for the future. Again thank you sooo much.

Booked for Corporate Function

I recently hired The Breakfast Club for a corporate conference and I must say I am overly pleased with the outcome of the evening! The guys arrived ahead of time to ensure they were set up and ready to go (fitting around our other activities of the evening). Professional, easy to arrange, great communication, brilliant song choices and a fantastic performance! Absolute pleasure :)

"Brilliant band. Accommodated everything we asked for. Will book again and have already recommended Out on Bail to others. Thank you for a memorable 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.
