No words I write can do these guys justice as to just how amazing they are.
The Hound dogs played at our wedding and EVERYONE loved them. The band had everyone up dancing and singing along. Nigel was fantastic, it was all very easy booking the band and selecting what songs we liked. We also used them to DJ after the band had finished playing, again, all our favourite songs were played and everyone was up dancing.
We had the pleasure of having Nigel play at a 30th a few years ago and having him and the band play at our wedding was just fantastic. They sounded and looked amazing and were lovely to talk to.
The band left everyone wanting more and they were only too happy to oblige when everyone chanted for 'one more song'.
Thanks again for being part of our day ❤️

“The best covers band I have ever heard!”
We lost count of the number of guests that said this to us at our wedding on Friday.
The first time we heard Nigel and his band play, we knew they were exactly what we were looking for. Throughout the whole process Nigel was at the end of an email, promptly answering any questions I had about their set and the logistics of the day.
Brides-to-be if you want a band that will take the music side of things off your shoulders, keep your guests entertained and end the night with everybody not wanting to leave the dance floor and asking for more, then the Hound Dogs are the band for you.
Also, special thanks to Nigel & Steve who played a personal, acoustic rendition of my Dad’s favourite song. It is a memory we will treasure forever.
Thank you so much for making our day so special. Sophie & Steve

We hired The Hound Dogs for our wedding a couple of weeks ago and I can honestly say they were fantastic! Our guests absolutely loved their energy and set list, they had people up dancing all night.
We had such a great day made all the better by some quality live music in the evening! Would recommend to anyone looking for music for thir event.
Thanks again for being a part of our day! Steve & Felicity

Thank you so much to Nigel and the guys of the Hound Dogs who MADE our wedding - no one sat down for the entire sets!! Brilliant vibe and upbeat throughout, we left the set list to them - they absolutely know how to keep everyone dancing. We could have gone on all night. Thank you so much guys!!

The band were fantastic, they set a vibrant atmosphere and had everyone up and dancing on the first song. They played a brilliant mix of different genres and having the DJ meant the party kept going!

We had the Hound Dogs play at our wedding last Saturday and I couldn't recommend them enough! They had everyone up dancing, young and old, with a wide range of absolute bangers. We had a song request which was a firm favourite of my dad's and they took the time to learn it and executed it perfectly. From start to finish the booking process and communication with brilliant, Nigel always replied promptly and efficiently. They were all genuinely nice guys, super friendly and professional. The band were a super nice touch to the wedding. We had a few older guests which were gutted they were unable to get up and dance however they all commented on how nice it was to be able to sit and watch the guys play rather than just a boring old DJ booth. 100% would recommend. Loved every minute.

What can I say! You gents were amazing. From the minute you struck the first note, everyone was on the dance floor and pretty much stayed there all night.
Cannot recommend this band enough.
We will certainly be having you back.

Nigel and the Hound Dogs recently played at our wedding. Nigel played a wonderful acoustic set post ceremony and had some of the younger guests entranced sitting cross legged in front of him. We were honoured that the band learnt a new song for our first dance, something we will always remember. The band were fantastic and had everyone up on the dance floor and enjoying themselves throughout their sets. Nigel has provided clear communication throughout and is an absolute gent. Our guests said they were the best wedding band they’d ever seen. Many thanks Hound Dogs!

Nigel and The Hound Dogs recently played our wedding at The Bedford pub in Balham. They were brilliant. The dancefloor was packed from start to finish. Having the DJ option after their set was perfect to keep the party going. Nigel's communication was great from start to finish. We wholeheartedly recommend The Hound Dogs.

The Hound Dogs are amazing! We loved every second of them playing at our wedding on Saturday - everyone loved their music and the dance floor was packed all night, and Nigel did a great job of DJing between sets as well. They were so helpful in the lead up to the day and were happy to help with special requests for the first dance! Thank you so much! From Ben + Annabel x

We booked The Hound Dogs for our wedding on 1st September. It was a bit of a risk as we had never heard them play and found them whilst searching for a wedding band. However as soon as Nigel contacted us and then met us in person we knew we were in good hands. On the day, the guys were everything we wanted and more. They got everyone up dancing and were great musicians, as well as loads of fun. Everyone said they were fab! In between sets and afterwards Nigel provided DJ services until 1am and, even though it was a Monday night, there were still lots of people on the dance floor. He catered for our diverse requests - salsa tunes, funk and soul and latest dance tunes. Thanks guys, thoroughly recommend! Rachel and Nick xx
