5/5 from 773 reviews
Photo of Let It Bleed Let It Bleed "What can I say, what an amazing band! Booked for the celebration of life for my dad who was a massive stones fan and it was better than I could have ever imagined. The sound was great, not gimmicky, just a great band playing the best stones song. 80 guests and everyone said how good they were. One thing that sets the bar high for them is I asked for a song that isn't typically found on a stones set list but holds deep sentiment to myself, with only a weeks notice I didn't think they'd be able to do it....and they did! Such a lovely way to remember my dad....he would have absolutely loved it! Thank you so much guys! P.s. sorry it took so long to write this review!" 9th July 2026 Adrianne Holman - Celebration of life Photo of Corey Koepsel Corey Koepsel "corey sounds just like the original music, full sound system,lights ,smoke awesome guitar player and singer.." 18th September 2026 super fan Photo of Southern Alibi Southern Alibi "They are awesome!
