Review Centre: Party Bands

"Right from our very first contact with David, we knew this band was the one for our daughter’s wedding. Nothing was too much trouble , playlist was extensive , advice on performance sessions was helpful. On the big night , their music was incredible , everybody young & old were enjoying themselves. Everything from Fleetwood Mac , Dolly Parton , Abba & Oasis was brilliantly performed with their lead singer hitting every note. We have no hesitation in recommending "Twist of Rock' for your party."

"Absolutely one of the best performance bands in the region! All four of the lead vocalists were amazing, the band, perfect timing and of course the horns took it over the top!! I had the pleasure of working with them as a sound engineer and they were totally professional and great to work with." SJ Stanley Jackson Jackson Audio East "

"Ian P. Woodbury I’ve been serenaded AND stirred by THE ROCKITS twice in 2022, since being introduced to them only recently. I made a pledge to myself, in the mirror, to go and listen to them whenever I need to satisfy my audio addiction for exceptionally performed, hard driving Rock n Roll. As a guy who has been playing guitar, and singing for an audience since 1956, I continuously need to have my appetite satiated with Good Ol’ Rock n Roll. The Rockits satisfy my need quite satisfactorily! Thank You Very Much! The Rockits share the top shelf of the D.C. Area bands, with only a few other bands up there with them. There is no better party band than The Rockits. The band is well-rehearsed, instrumentally and vocally tight, and they really know how to keep the good vibes topped off at FULL, without losing the personal touch with their audience. Everyone in the band is a seasoned musician, sings very well, and harmonizes on key. But…the vocal standout is Robin Brown, the female vocalist. Robin should be known by everyone in the D. C. Metro Area, who enjoys hip Shakin’ Rock n Roll. ROBIN IS THAT GOOD! She commands the stage, like a Queen, but she is never domineering. She does not try to draw undue attention to herself, but knows her position on stage, as an integral part of a smoothly wild ensemble. She shares the M.C. duties with the band’s leader, Peter Grattan, who is a fine drummer, but in The Rockits, he is a triple threat on keyboards, guitar, and vocals. All the instrumentalists are in the top echelon of local talent, each attuned to his role in the overall mix, and they all shine in their spots. If you want a really satisfying Good Time of listening and dancing, there is no better band, who can lift you higher, than The Rockits. Going out to get your Rock n Roll fix with The Rockets is an evening well-spent. "

Thank you so very much Ian. We strive to give the best performance possible and it is people like you that make it all worth while. Having been 'Rockits' for over ten years, we appreciate every gig we get, every booking is unique, and having played a 3 year 6 nite a week residency at one of New Zealand's top hotels in my twenties, I know how important it is to 'entertain.' My experience as TVNZ's Head Of Entertainment Production for three years also has given me the experience needed to become an all round entertainer. Years of touring the world on cruise ships, recording four records for CBS and years in London have helped, so that our repertoire of 1000 songs spans sixty years and encompasses the best of the Rock 'n Roll era. Your heart felt review means so much! -Peter G Grattan (band leader)

"I booked Matt for my partners surprise 40th Birthday Party. His performance was amazing and he really engaged with all the guests and made it such a prefect evening. Willing to play songs on request and adapt his performance to the schedule for the evening. Exclllent communication through the booking and planning process and arrived super early to set up and prepare. This was the best live performance I have ever had the pleasure seeing. A really great musician and all round nice guy. My partner was so happy and impressed with the whole performance. Will definitely be booking Matt again for our next big event. "

"We hired MGB to play at our wedding in February, and they were the perfect choice! They performed a great selection of music that suited our diverse guest list. We had a very small wedding of 48 people, and they had everyone dancing and having fun for the entire night"

"Thank you Nora and Josh. What an evening! Completely made the evening and everyone was dancing. Interaction with the guests was great. The whole party had an Ibiza/love island feel. Can’t thank you enough and would 100% recommend. So glad I checked my junk folder where your initial email was. Such a lucky find."

"It was one of the most enjoyable evenings I will ever remember. What should I distinguish first? The repertoire of old folk songs that stand the test of time? The coordination of the musicians? The playing? Their charismatic voices? Or the fun and joy that they generously offer to their listeners, rousing them and making them feel that they are all part of the same heady group? I thank them for the beautiful special evening they offered us, I highly recommend them and I can't wait to be together again in the same happy moments!"
