"I booked Ben through this website as I loved his voice and his skills as a guitarist. His sound was just what I was looking for for my wedding in May. He is fast to respond to queries and is extremely good value. He played 2x sets for us, one for the drinks reception and one during the wedding breakfast. You could listen to people talking easily whilst having Ben play in the background. His playlist was spot on and so many of my guests commented on how lovely it was listening to him sing. He does a lot of pub gigs in and around Lichfield so definitely go and see him! I would highly recommend!"

"We had Damien who was a great singer and guitarist. He went out of his way to meet us in a glamping field and entertain us. His repertoire was amazing!"

"I hired Get Back Beats for a private party. They were prompt and professional. And they were a brilliant band. I will recommend them again as they filled the dance floor with their first song and for the entire evening. A great choice."

"What a great band. We held a ceilidh for 160 people. 90% were beginners at reeling and everyone was dancing"

"Outstanding performance, VERY enjoyable! Highly accomplished musicians, and great guys, too. We will definitely be booking them again. You hear echoes of Joe Pass, Dizzy Gillespie, and Ron Carter."

"The band members, very respectful and responsible, arrived on time and were very professional at all times. But honestly, we felt very disappointed that when contacting this band, we were specific about confirming if they played certain songs, certain artists, including rock and roll songs, which was the main concept of the party including decoration, etc. A party obviously centered on the birthday person for their 80th birthday, and the band played a selection of music that wasn’t what we requested. So, sorry for the honesty, but in that sense, we were very very disappointed. The idea was to hear the birthday person’s favorite songs, and that didn’t happen. That was the main reason we decided to invest in a band instead of going to a nightclub to listen to random music."

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we appreciate your kind words about our professionalism and punctuality.  However, we'd like to respectfully address the concerns raised, as we believe there may have been a misunderstanding about what was agreed upon. Before the booking was confirmed, we provided our complete repertoire of 170 songs so you could review exactly what we perform. When you sent through your song requests, we responded clearly in writing that we could perform around 90% of the songs listed, specifically noting which artists and songs we don't cover, including Roy Orbison, Tony Bennett, and "Piña Colada." The contract was signed after this exchange, confirming mutual understanding of the agreed-upon repertoire. On the day, we delivered exactly what was agreed: approximately 90% of your requested songs, plus additional requests from guests. Guests were dancing and singing along to our performance. Furthermore, the birthday guest himself told us during the event that he was thoroughly enjoying the music, which we also took as a positive sign that we were meeting expectations. We always strive to be flexible and responsive on the day. When asked mid-performance to stop for unplanned moments like the raffle and cake cutting, we simply requested to finish the current song to avoid an abrupt interruption, a standard practice that maintains the flow and professionalism of live music. We regret that the experience didn't meet your expectations despite our clear pre-event communication. If there are specific songs or aspects you'd like to discuss further, we'd welcome the opportunity to clarify offline. We wish your guest all the best for his 80th year. Kind regards, Greg

"Love the vocals, harmonies… I really like it… a distinctive sound… chord progressions blend beautifully. Lyrical composition with layers of deeper meaning (I really liked that!)” "

"Rock2Nite was incredible! They stole the show at our wedding. We are two Americans who did a Jewish-Hindu destination wedding in Portugal. We cared a lot about having a great band, and Rock2Nite was that and more. They learned a bunch of new songs for us, including one in Hebrew, and added in a trumpet player at our request. Their covers of everything from Madonna to Miley Cyrus to Weezer to Jack Johnson were on point. I can not recommend Rock2Nite highly enough - for rock, pop, acoustic, traditional Portuguese music, and much more."

"Chloe's Wedding in Pentland Hills, Nov 2024 Andrew was incredible. We hired him for both my dad's 60th and then my wedding a few weeks later and both times he blew us away. All of our guests were commenting on how good he was. We just let him do his thing and he gauged the audience and played the perfect music. We not only love his style and voice but him as a person, he was an absolute delight to have on our special days. "

"Having the Manhattan Trio perform at our summer cocktail party was great. The music added a nice atmosphere to the party, with elegant jazz standards everybody recognized. The band even took some requests from guest and performed them beautifully. If you are looking for a sophisticated and elegant jazz music atmosphere, this is it!"

"TMA was amazing!! Communication was super fluid and easy the whole way through. If you’re into a chill, country folky vibe for your wedding- this is the band for you!"
