Twist of Rock recently performed at our corporate event and they were absolutely brilliant. From first enquiry they were very professional and super organised and kept in great contact right up to the evening of the event. The music was varied and they really made sure that everyone was having a good time! Super friendly group of people. We cannot fault them and would definitely be keen to book again for future events. Highly recommended.
