Photo of The Vows The Vows "I HAVE NO WORDS!!! From the first moment I contacted the vows we have been blown away. They went above and beyond and exceeded every single expectation I had. The professionalism was more than I could have ever hoped for. They learnt and played a 5 minute special song that had us all in tears dancing to it that made it so personal to me. The choice of music was huge and they accommodated my every thought. Molly and Matt did an acoustic set outside before our wedding evening began and it was so upbeat and incredible we got taken to have photos done and I could hear them singing my favourite songs and I remember saying to my Husband, wow this is magical listen to it. Honestly blew us away we had the best night of our lives they were worth every penny and more I can’t thank Matt, Molly, Harry, Ambrose, Alex and Sax for the best night of our lives. Everyone around us commented how unbelievable the band were they hit every note and didn’t make one mistake despite 4 hours of playing. They work incredible well together and I honestly could not recommend the full band enough best decision I made booking them they really made our wedding!! IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT BOOKING A BAND DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THE VOWS !!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!" Based in Stoke-on-Trent, England (30 miles from Derby) 19th October 2026 Nina Cone - Wedding Photo of Venus & Mars Venus & Mars "The band set up all through the one system to keep the volume at a suitable level for a BBQ in my garden. The performance was outstanding and they were friendly, professional and most of all great fun. Definitely recommend them!" Based in Corby, England (44 miles from Derby) Franklin - Private BBQ Photo of George and Ringo's 2 Starr Revue George and Ringo's 2 Starr Revue "A superb show from start to finish. The musicianship was remarkable by any standards" Based in Manchester, England (50 miles from Derby) 20th September 2026 Michelle Callum Jacques Photo of The PommyGranites The PommyGranites "Well what can I say. You four were absolutely amazing on Saturday. So many said on the night and are still saying today, how fantastic the band was. You really done Steve and I proud and we are so grateful for what you did regarding the toast, the poem and the Oasis song. I heard that a lot of people had a cry and were very emotional, especially the families of the other two boys. The whole night was a fabulous evening, made even more fabulous by you guys and the sets that you performed. Loved every single song and putting in some of the songs I mentioned was amazing, thank you. As you probably noticed, actually can’t see how you didn’t, I was on the floor making a fool of myself with my footwork and shapes, but do you know, I don’t care. I love a bit of music and a dance. I must admit that my legs were ready to scream at me towards the end but at least they lasted. I was on them from 7.00 in the morning till 1.00 the next morning so I think they had a right to protest. I’ve had them for such a long time they are getting a tad worn out now!!! 🤣 Once again, thank you for agreeing to perform, for all the hard work you put in and for doing the emotional part. Oh and for agreeing to me having a little play with your mic. We both feel that we have known you forever, you are so easy to talk to and are great company. If we ever have another do like that, you are top of our list, Once again you four, thank you for Saturday and it was a pleasure having you.

Hiring classic rock bands is a popular choice for weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, pub and bar gigs, festivals and any event where high-energy live music is the focus. Classic rock has universal appeal and works particularly well for audiences who enjoy guitar-driven music.
