The Groove Primitive "With Groove Primitive you can tell that they are dedicated from the first bar, but they also are fun, with a sense of humour. The funk is tight and the rockier songs have soul. Shay’s vocals are strong and she’s backed by some great players. I’ve seen them in bars and clubs, but could imagine them on a journey to filling much bigger venues in the future. Highly Recommended 5 stars – for entertainment and musical virtuosity." Based in London, England (15 miles from Watford) Adrian Tanner - Function

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
