The Hound Dogs are one of the best and most popular professional party bands around – we currently perform over 100 shows a year for private parties, weddings, corporate functions.
With a vast catalogue of songs from rock 'n' roll right up to modern classics played with high energy and more balls than a game of billiards, expect to hear hits from bands from The Beatles to The Killers, Elvis Presley to The Kings of Leon.
We aim to not only entertain you and your guests all night, but also take a little bit of the stress out of your day - we'll take care of everything professionally and with real flair and sparkle.
EXPERIENCED & PROFESSIONAL
All members of the band have extensive experience of successfully playing hundreds of weddings, university balls, private parties, charity events, and corporate functions and we're professional and experienced.
On lead vocals is Nigel Thomas - a very talented singer and rhythm guitarist. Something that really makes The Hound Dogs stand out from the crowd is that Nigel has an innate ability to recreate the vocal style, intonation and intricacies of the original song where other singers think it's acceptable to sing their own approximation. It's fair to say that everyone in The Hound Dogs is at the top of their musical game.
RELIABLE
We are totally reliable, punctual, polite and smartly dressed. Onstage we're energetic and entertaining - we're all passionate about what we do! The band is fully self contained, providing a professional powered PA, mixing desk and lighting system for any size marquee, hall, or even outside. Throughout your booking you'll have a named member of the band whom you can call any time, any day to answer your questions and ensure you have great communication - we're always happy to speak to you!
All our equipment is PAC tested and we have full Public Liability Insurance.
FLEXIBLE
Our standard set-up is our 'killer five piece band' with two guitars, bass, drums keys and four vocals - but we can easily change our set-up to suit your preference and budget.
Need an afternoon acoustic set? We can do that too.
DJ SERVICE
We also offer a professional and versatile DJ service to keep the party going before, between and after our sets. You can choose the songs or style you want and leave it to us to keep the party going into the small hours, requests welcome of course! We provide lighting too.

Just if there's a sound limiter and at what level.
Yes, we'll bring our full professional PA system and stage lighting rig inclusive in the price.
Yes, we can provide a playlist between sets. We also offer a professional DJ service, taking requests etc. Ask for details!
We've played every possible kind of gig, from small intimate events in tents to thousands of people on huge stages. One of our favourites was a recent wedding in Italy playing to the most breathtaking backdrop of the olive groves!
The kind where there's an audience who appreciates live music and has their dancing shoes on - so that's most of them!
We're all professional musicians and have been playing all our lives, perfecting our craft whether on stage or in the studio on countless projects.
The Beatles is the obvious answer, but as a group we love an eclectic range of acts from Steely Dan and Blur to Rage Against the Machine and Gregory Porter.
We usually take around an hour to set-up once we've clear access. We've found it works best to play a first set of 45 minutes with some golden oldies to warm up the crowd and then a longer set of 1 hour 15 minutes when everyone is nicely lubricated and have their dancing shoes firmly on!
Yes - if there's power, shade ideally and a wet weather contingency so we're not electrocuted!
You're welcome to pick any favourites from our set list!
Take a look at our Facebook page feedback - 'the best band we've ever seen' comes up frequently! (no false modesty here!)
YES - if it's a song that suits our range/style and we feel we can do a good job for you. Always happy to discuss.
Hundreds of happy couples (and then their familes!)
