Photo of The Pocket Rockers The Pocket Rockers "Fantastic!!!!!!! Made my husbands 40th birthday something to remember. People kept asking us for days after " Who are the band?" They were amazing. Highly recommend and fantastic set list. Thank you so much xxx" Based in Southampton, England (24 miles from Bournemouth) 20th January 2026 Beau H - Birthday Party Photo of The Hound Dogs The Hound Dogs "No words I write can do these guys justice as to just how amazing they are. The Hound dogs played at our wedding and EVERYONE loved them. The band had everyone up dancing and singing along. Nigel was fantastic, it was all very easy booking the band and selecting what songs we liked. We also used them to DJ after the band had finished playing, again, all our favourite songs were played and everyone was up dancing. We had the pleasure of having Nigel play at a 30th a few years ago and having him and the band play at our wedding was just fantastic. They sounded and looked amazing and were lovely to talk to. The band left everyone wanting more and they were only too happy to oblige when everyone chanted for 'one more song'. Thanks again for being part of our day ❤️" Based in Warminster, England (36 miles from Bournemouth) Katharine Dudley-Dapson - Wedding Photo of Jay and the Demics Jay and the Demics "The band were amazing.

Even the kid danced a little, and they had a good afternoon. Here is their review sent to Encore (who did the booking): Alex L, 1 hour ago Wedding in Blackfriars Priory, Ladybellegate St, Gloucester GL1 2HN, UKSean was our saxophonist for our elopement wedding and I can not fault him at all! He was so accommodating with our song requests/genre and even played a few songs for our toddler. Absolutely fantastic. The venue commented on how great he was and so did everyone we showed the videos to. Would 110% recommend and would love to have Sean again at another event. Thanks Sean! :)" Based in Bristol, England (60 miles from Bournemouth) Alex L - I played at their "elopement" party Photo of The Night Hours The Night Hours "Thank you so much for providing us a fantastic night at the Avon Gorge Hotel on the occasion of our wedding, everyone said what a brilliant evening it was and the video shows everyone singing and dancing all night.
