Latest reviews of our Rock Bands in Canterbury

The Riot Dogs
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"The whole process from booking to performance ran very smoothly. Good communication via the website and the band were great at just cracking on with the music. Much appreciated as I was distracted with guests and caterers. Everyone complimented the band afterwards and I would highly recommend them for future gigs. Thank you to The Riot Dogs - you made my night 😊"

Stone Meadow
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Stone Meadow played at our wedding and were absolutely fantastic! From the moment we booked them, the communication was flawless. We always received speedy, friendly replies and they were so accommodating to everything we wanted. Our guests were on the dance floor from the very first song and didn’t leave it all night! Everyone kept commenting on how much fun they had and how incredible the band was. Stone Meadow put on an amazing show and even performed our first dance song... we kept saying how perfect they sounded while we were dancing. If you’re thinking about booking them, do it! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much Stone Meadow, for making our night unforgettable!"

The Cassette Kings
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"We hired The Cassette Kings for a joint 40th/60th party. I was asked by a guest the following week, what the highlights of our party was and my reply was, the band! We had so many compliments from our guests about them, they catered for all ages from 16-70! So impressed with their communication, professionalism and actual performance. The dancefloor wasn't once empty...exactly what we hoped for! I would have no hesitation in recommending these guys to anyone!"

FAQs about hiring Rock bands in Canterbury

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any rock band play my favourite song?

Professional rock bands will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that rock bands may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the rock band's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do rock bands take to set up?

Your rock band will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the rock band prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our rock bands are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our rock bands will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
