If you are thinking of booking Rock the Mike, do it! I cannot praise them enough! Their communication prior to the day was excellent, and they are SUCH talented musicians! The energy and joy they brought to our wedding was brilliant. People were on the dance floor all night long and we are delighted that we booked Rock the Mike. Thanks guys, you are the best!

Rock the Mike played a great selection of music, They were very efficient and professional at setting up in the short amount of time available to them. Friendly, professional and a great camaraderie between them.

This lovely band played at the Cardiff Uni MLang Ball and it was so, so good! All 124 of us were on the dance floor having an absolute blast. The guys were very accommodating and super-friendly when it came to sorting out all the details. It made the ball so much more special to have some brilliant live music. Thank you!

Rock the Mike has performed countless events for Cardiff Uni MedSoc. The band is always the highlight of the night, and I have nothing but praise for all the band members. Thank you for making our events!
