Right from our very first contact with David Dyer , we knew this band was the one for our daughters wedding. Nothing was too much trouble , playlist was extensive , advice on performance sessions was helpful. On the big night , their music was incredible , everybody young & old were enjoying themselves. Everything from Fleetwood Mac , Dolly Parton , Abba & Oasis was brilliantly performed with their lead singer hitting every note. We have no hesitation in recommending "Twist of Rock' for your party.

Twist of Rock are a brilliant band. They played are our joint 60th party two weeks ago and gave a really upbeat, energetic and polished performance. They got the whole hall dancing all night, everybody loved them. Dave was a pleasure to deal with, he was prompt, helpful and professional, we knew from the start that we were in good hands. Highly recommended.

I just wanted to get in touch to pass on our thanks to Twist of Rock for performing at our Christmas party this week. We could not have hoped for better!! Energy was amazing and you guys are stellar musicians, every track was an absolute banger – we have never seen our team move so quickly from their seats to the dancefloor…. Please thank your bandmates for us, early feedback is that it was the best Christmas party we’ve ever had and that is largely down to you guys!

We had the pleasure of hosting Twist of Rock at our recent Army function, and they absolutely brought the house down! From the first note, they had the crowd energized, with everyone on their feet, singing, and dancing along. Their charisma and talent were infectious, making it a night to remember. Beyond their on-stage magic, they were an absolute delight to work with—punctual, professional, and personable. Every attendee left more than satisfied, thanks to their performance. I can’t recommend Twist of Rock enough; they’re truly fantastic, and we can’t wait to have them back!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Our clients love our varied set list and crowd interaction. We get the party started and keep it going all night! Past clients have commented positively on the very high quality of our vocals & live sound, that we perform everything without using any backing tracks and that we have good proactive communication before and during the event.

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

Our principal lead singers are Carla (fair hair) and Julie (dark hair) who can both be seen performing in the many live videos on our profile. We alternate between these two lead singers depending on availability at the time of booking.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our standard line-up is a 4-piece with female lead vocalist, bassist with backing vocals, drummer with backing vocals & guitarist. We also perform with an additional one or two male or female lead vocalists to suit the event & budget.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run-up to the event, just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. A complimentary pre-mixed DJ-style playlist service through our p.a. is included with all our bookings, to keep the party going when we are not playing. Latest finish midnight.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Yes certainly. We will discuss the mix of music you think will be best for your event and provide you with a draft set list of recommended songs that we believe would work well from our experience. You can then use this draft set list as a starting point and substitute in any songs from our full song list that you would prefer us to play.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes. Our PA and stage lighting system are included in your quote. Our p.a. is suitable for an audience of up to 600 indoors or 400 outdoors. If you require a bigger PA we're able to provide one for an additional fee.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, we are happy to learn your first dance song or a specific song of your choice at no extra charge.
