Reviews of Classic Rock Bands based near Watford

5/5 from 121 reviews
Photo of The Vampirettes The Vampirettes "Are you ready for love at first bite?", asked vocalist Belladonna, alongside her equally frightening bandmates, Datura and Wolfsbane on lead guitars, Deadly Nightshade on bass and Violet Mandrakia on drums, all who had ventured out of their crypt tonight, to trick or treat us to some classic vampish covers. Van Halen's 'Runnin With The Devil' immediately gave Belladonna something to get her teeth into, as did Ozzy's 'Bark At The Moon', with an impressive dual guitar attack from the aptly named Wolfsbane and Datura, her poisonous partner in crime. Lead Guitarist Datura (aka Ezra) continued to flower, leading her undead pack on The Shangri-Las '(Remember) Walking In The Sand', before their "oldie, but a goodie", and Fleetwood Mac's, (Peter) 'Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown). An eclectic list of classics continued with UFO's 'Doctor Doctor' and even Jefferson Airplane's 'White Rabbit' - both dispatched with frightening professional aplomb and a refreshing change from the standard covers that are churned out so often. "Any fans of Kiss?" asked MC Belladonna, cue 'I Was Made For Lovin' You', before another unusual stand-out, and a highlight for mine, Python Lee Jackson's (or Rod Stewart's for those of you that are a lot younger than me) 'In A Broken Dream'. Brilliant. The vampire banter continued, before Wolfsbane launched into the awesome opening riff of Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' (never tire of that one), although their vampish antics continued when they stopped during the intro of Blue Oyster Cult's 'Don't Fear The Reaper'. "What are we missing?" they asked. "More cowbell!" was the answer. Enter The Reaper (not The Sandman) on stage with trusty cowbell, although, seriously, this was another highlight of the set with great harmonies, spot on guitars plus some demon drumming from dear Violet. A special mention for the excellent Deadly Nightshade, who confided with me after the set that her bass guitar idol was indeed, the one and only Phil Lynott. Sadly, no Thin Lizzy in their set tonight, although from one girl band to another, The Vampirettes did salute The Runaways very own Joan Jett with 'I Hate Myself For Loving You' So pleased I wore my special edition Motorhead t-shirt on the night as they tore into Lemmy's 'Born To Raise Hell', with some more brilliant drumming from Ms. Mandrakia, before some 'Tainted Love', with Soft Cell's classic given the werewolf guitar treatment. And talking of Wolfsbane, "Lord" Alice Cooper's 'Poison' was the penultimate in the set, and despite pleads for "more", rather aptly Rainbow's 'Long Live Rock 'N' Roll', with a bit of audience participation and band intros, brought the night's proceedings to an end. A great set. Great content. Great musicians. Great fun. All in all a brilliant evening" Based in Brentford, England (12 miles from Watford) Alun Jones - Wrinkly Rockers Club Photo of RockEnergy RockEnergy "Hi Nick, Thank you and John for your great work on Saturday night, you were brilliant, everybody loved you and people said when then get the opportunity they are going to hire your services. I would gladly use your services again. Thank you Micky and Donna." Based in London, England (15 miles from Watford) 17th August 2026 Micky Beecher - Birthday Event Photo of Liam Edward Golder Liam Edward Golder ""I listened to it (song Don't Let Go) and I really like it ; the sound quality is impeccable and the voice is magnificent you are truly very talented"." Based in London, England (15 miles from Watford) 16th July 2026 Wu-Tang Clan Singer/Songwriter (Confidential) - Collaborated with Soloman Childs - Recording/Songwriting Photo of Twist of Rock Live band Twist of Rock Live band "Book them! No, really BOOK THEM. What a Wedding Day we had topped off with a Twist of Rock. Communication was great with Dave. They learnt a song for us. They Rocked up on time and then rocked out. Two great sets of music, selected from their extensive play list. All our guests were in awe of how amazing Twist of Rock were, they filled the dance floor. Listen to their live videos if you need further proof. Have you BOOKED THEM YET!" Based in London, England (15 miles from Watford) Dave E - Wedding Reception Photo of Already Legends Already Legends "We couldn't have asked for a better wedding band than Already Legends! They truly stood out as unique. Their high-energy performance was brilliant, and the guitar solo in the middle of the dance floor was just awesome! Nico was proactive and helpful throughout the planning process, maintaining great communication. With their broad and extensive repertoire of tracks spanning decades, there were plenty of songs to choose from. We collaborated to create the playlist, and they skillfully read the room, keeping our guests on their feet all night long. We are still receiving compliments from our guests about the band and how much fun they had. They made our wedding even more unforgettable. Highly recommended!" Based in London, England (15 miles from Watford) Charles D - Private Wedding Photo of Sarvesh and Raph - Acoustic Duo Sarvesh and Raph - Acoustic Duo "We booked this party to play at our drinks reception. They were fabulous and could not recommend them enough. They got all the guests dancing and celebrating the occasion. Their musical talent is incredible. Their whole performance looked so professional and effortless. Way to go Sarvesh and Raph!" Based in London, England (15 miles from Watford) Sheryl Edward - Wedding party
