Booked for Wedding

We booked RFC to play two sets at our wedding reception - they were fantastic from start to finish. Ben was great at answering all of our queries prior to booking and after, and their performance on the day was brilliant, everyone loved it! Great guys and very professional. I would definitely recommend, and would have the band play at future events of ours! Thank you!

Amazing! Everyone at our wedding commented on how good the music was, and the acoustic guitar in the day really set off the day. Really easy to deal with, and always kept me up to date. Thanks for making our day better!

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.

Booked for Wedding

"Having this band for my wedding was the best choice in the world. All my guests had so much fun!!! We were all singing and dancing to the songs :) I would 100% recommed them for any occasion. All my guests were asking for them because they were so good no exaggerations. They got there early and followed the plan we had, etc. Thank you so much for making the wedding of our dreams come true :) xxx Gabriela and James"
