Testimonials

The Hound Dogs played at my wedding reception in April 2014 at Somerford Hall in Brewood. After hearing them play and seeing the reaction of the audience we knew they were the band that we wanted at our wedding and it proved to be the right decision. They surpassed our expectations. Everyone was up dancing all night, even me! All the guests commented on how good they were and a number of them have since booked the band for other events. We wanted to have a wedding reception that no one would forget and a fun evening. They gave my wife and I a wedding reception that people are still talking about and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. I would recommend this band to everyone. They will not disappoint. In fact, they will surpass your expectations. Thanks again lads for making my wedding unforgettable.

Mark Alcock

I just want to thank Jimmy & The Hound Dogs for playing such a great show at my wedding. You were amazing. Everyone loved you and you made it the best night of our lives!

Paul Prestwood

You played for us at the evening of our wedding on 7th July 2018 at Pendrell Hall. All I can say you were all brilliant! We knew you were fab from seeing you at a gig at a club but you were even better than we remembered on our wedding day. All of the guests couldn’t stop telling us how brilliant you were. You really got everyone up on the dance floor and the music was perfect for us. I would recommend you guys 100 times over. I also have to say you are a lovely bunch of guys too. I’m just waiting for another excuse to hire you all again!! We just can’t thank you enough! Absolutely brilliant! Thank you

Natasha & Daniel Hancox

My husband and I booked Jimmy & The Hound Dogs for our wedding. The band were brilliant and kept us and our guests on the dance floor throughout their two sets. They were also really friendly and professional, both leading up to, and on the day itself. Would definitely recommend!

Sarah Owens

Jimmy & The Hound dogs are GREAT fun! They've appeared at our venue on a number of occasions, always with an excellent reception from our patrons. Their high octane rock 'n' roll is a perfect evening's entertainment for ALL.

Elton Whitehouse

Hi guys! Just wanted to say a massive, massive thank you for the set you did at our Wedding on Thursday night. You absolutely smashed it. Our friends were raving about the music the following day. General consensus was 'best wedding band they've ever heard'. Hopefully we can catch you at a local gig again soon!

Jamie Angus

These guys are just amazingly talented musicians and really nice guys to speak to. They certainly know their stuff. We saw them a couple of years ago and instantly they were THE band to book for our wedding, which was last Friday. Jimmy & The Hound Dogs are a real gem of a band and very professional in their work and booking process. If you want a full dance floor and a great evening of live music and I cannot recommend them enough!!! Thanks guys for making our evening reception the icing on the cake !!!

Richard Hanstock

Absolutely brilliant music! Full of energy with lots of great songs. Very good performers and I will definitely be seeing them again. The band got everyone in the audience involved! An absolutely fantastic band, the best I have seen.

Ann Thomas

As a wedding photographer I never share recommendations of other suppliers with my couples unless I’ve had personal experience of their work, and having seen these guys recently I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any brides and grooms to be looking for a band for their wedding. Especially if you’re looking for something with a vintage twist and are steering away from anything cheesy. They create a really fun atmosphere whilst also remaining professional. They're simply a group of very talented musicians with a real passion for what they do wanting to offer something a bit different to anything else out there.

Becky Ryan

Absolutely amazing, not only did they save our big day with stepping in last minute they performed amazingly getting all our guests dancing and having a good time. If you're reading this, you wont be disappointed, book them now and enjoy!

Mark Garfield

Cheryl Shade

Amazing band definitely one I will be recommending to my Event Organising buddies...utterly proffesional group of individuals who stepped up and quickly turned up to a family wedding with short notice after another band failed to arrive....my only question is why didn't this band have a fully booked diary themselves ? they were awesome....playing a swing version of Take on me and other Eighties classics...not only did you go the extra mile guys you Rocked ! Both thank you and well done.

Gary Garfield

Jimmy & The Hounddogs were phenomenal! I can't thank you guys enough for not only coming to mine and Mark's rescue last minute yesterday but for truly making our wedding fabulous! You guys had the dance floor jam packed all night, your interaction with the guests was great and they loved your performance. You will not be disappointed with these guys, I just need to organise another event to book you guys again! Thank you so much for going above and beyond to get to us and giving us a wonderful evening. Mr & Mrs Garfield (05.06.19 Mill Barns) xx
