Photo of The Big Fat Party Band The Big Fat Party Band "Horizon played at my husband’s 50th birthday villa party in Marbella and they were absolutely spectacular. They played all the classic rock and pop hits we grew up with and the sound quality was fantastic. The band brought so much life and energy to our garden setup, and they really interacted with all our guests. Thank you for making it a night to remember for everyone." Based in Milton Keynes, England 8th July 2026 Katie Reynolds - Birthday Photo of Francis Francis "These guys absolutely made our day with their performance! We were so pleased Alex and the guys could join us in Cape Town — it meant the world to us. All the guests were blown away. Every single request was met!" Based in Milton Keynes, England 21st April 2026 Jim - Wedding — Cape Town, South Africa 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. Tracy Beckwith August 2025" Based in Milton Keynes, England 1st December 2025 TRACY BECKWITH - BIRTHDAY PARTY Photo of Shoot To Thrill Shoot To Thrill "Shoot To Thrill were phenomenal throughout. From setting up, to sound check, to the incredible performance on our wedding day, they were fantastic. Our guests loved the music and we have been delighted by the comments we have received from our guests. The musicianship, the perfect sound and the choice of songs were all spot on. Can only say a massive 'thank you'." Based in Milton Keynes, England David and Alex Taylor - Wedding Photo of Revolve Revolve "This is the second year we have had Revolve play for our Christmas Parties at The Civic, Trowbridge and again, they helped to make the events a complete success. A great professional band with awesome sound and fantastic crowd participation. This year we also had them for our New Year's Eve Ball. Feedback was incredible. We cannot recommend them enough and we will definitely be booking them again for future events." Based in Leighton Buzzard, England (10 miles from Milton Keynes) Paul Weimar - Xmas Function Photo of The Krakens The Krakens "From start to finish we have nothing but praise for The Krakens. Chris was quick to respond to my enquiry looking for a band to play at a 30th birthday party and kept in touch from then on. We were sent a varied list of songs to choose from; a mix of rock/pop both modern and classic. Once the booking was confirmed they asked us if there was anything we wanted added to the list and they would learn them for the evening! On the night the band turned up on time, and set up (and packed up) without any bother. Their performance was totally satisfactory, two excellent one-hour sets which included our requested numbers. Everyone agreed that The Krakens were a friendly, “tight” band that performed with confidence and professionalism which made our night that bit special. Would definitely recommend them!" Based in Bedford, England (14 miles from Milton Keynes) 17th April 2026 Paul A - 30th Birthday

Standard performance times for rock bands are two to three hours, typically split into sets with breaks. Rock performances tend to be louder and more energetic than other genres, so it is worth confirming volume levels and any venue restrictions when making an enquiry.

Most rock bands are experienced at adjusting their volume to suit different settings. Many carry equipment that allows them to control sound levels without losing energy. It is a good idea to discuss any venue noise restrictions with the band before booking.
