Photo of The Ramrods The Ramrods "I was given the responsibility of finding a band for my Nan and Grandad’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary party. I booked The Ramrods for this event and they were fantastic! My Nan and Grandad reminisce their dancing days, listening to songs they used to dance and jive to. Everyone enjoyed listening and dancing to the songs they brilliantly performed all night. Would highly recommend this rockabilly band for any special occasion."
