Based in Leighton Buzzard, England (11 miles from Luton) Paul Weimar - Xmas Function Photo of Tim Payne Tim Payne "Tim played at my 60th birthday party and was absolutely fantastic. He started with a brilliant acoustic set and then moved into more guitar-driven music as the evening went on. He’s a great singer, really got the party going, and is also a genuinely nice guy. I’d highly recommend him for any party or event." Based in Chalfont St Giles, England (18 miles from Luton) 20th September 2026 Naren Patel - Private party in the Garden Photo of Permission2Rock Permission2Rock "Dave was booked as Permission to Rock at my 60th birthday party and he was simply amazing. I danced all night long to my songs, many of which he learned for me. He was great to work with and I requested my play list which he did all night long. He also got people up singing and dancing all night which made a massive difference to me. Everyone came up to me and my family for many weeks afterwards saying how wonderful the music and singing were, it really made the party swing. I would highly recommend Dave for any gathering, he is very professional and a fabulous singer and guitar player.
