Mr & Mrs Rooney (Wedding) - 22.08.22" Based in Reading, England Mr & Mrs Rooney Photo of The Britpoppers The Britpoppers "The Britpoppers played my husband's 40th birthday. Great night. Great time had by all! Thank you!!" Based in Woking, England (20 miles from Reading) Nicola N - Birthday Party Photo of The RAZORZ The RAZORZ "Star attraction on reopening night at The Lamb, Bicester. The venue is a clever mix of sports bar, diner and nightclub recently upgraded. The Razorz had the place rocking with their driving rhythms and wide choice of rock music. Crocodile rock was a stand out number filling the dance floor and encouraging others to join in. A very professional and high quality band."
