What our expert says...If you want real impact, few things compare to the energy of a live rock band. It’s loud, raw, and full of character - perfect for couples or clients who want their event to feel less polished and more electric.

Latest reviews of our Rock Bands in Shropshire
"Fuzz'd Up were fantastic from the very beginning. They communicated well before hand, set up efficiently and when they started to play they were out of this world. We had so many people praising the vocals. They made the night Unforgettable."

"I knew from the moment we got engaged that I wanted a band to play. And that band had to take popular songs and add a more rock focused, live approach to them so it felt like you were hearing a song a completely new and exciting way. The Riot Dogs did this supremely well. Sam's voice really captured our attention when looking through a LOT of different bands, and that coupled with the way they did the songs and the sheer range of brilliant songs they do, was all we needed to decide on them. Before the wedding they were very responsive and very organised, leaving us completely at ease with what we were getting on the day. The performance was exactly as good as we expected but our guests, who had no idea what to expect, we think they were blown away with how good it was. The dancefloor was never empty and we were grooving all night. They even leant us their PA system and lights after their set finished so we could play a Spotify playlist to end the night, a service they offered at no extra cost. On top of that, they stayed and played later into the night due to an unforseen issue that meant the schedule got delayed a bit. And all that is worth 5 stars enough, all of that is plenty for me to write this review and recommend them. But the thing that sets them apart is their willingness to make it YOUR night. They let me get on stage with them and perform 3 songs, at the complete suprise of my wife and our guests. We had discussed and planned it for months, and they offered tips and suggestions and kept it just between us so my wife wouldn't know. On the day they set the guitars up, leant me a mic and helped me bring a dream to life to be able to play for my friends and families. It was the single best part of the night for me. Other than getting married ofc, that rocked too. Couldn't recommend any band or agency more - these are the real deal and they will make your day more memorable than you can imagine."

"Stone Meadow did an absolutely fantastic job for our wedding. Joe's communication was brilliant beforehand and they let us pick an extra couple of songs which was greatly appreciated. Even if our guests weren't the type to get up and dance they defiently enjoyed the performance and commented how good you were. Even our photographer who has been doing weddings 15 years said you were the best live band they have ever seen! Don't hesitate to book these guys!"

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.
