The Hot Rods Reviews
We chose The Hot Rods to perform at our wedding as we wanted a band that would appeal to all age groups and get everyone up on their feet. We were not disappointed, the band were incredible, with a very authentic 50's feel, great stage presence and interaction with our guests. They came across as very polite and professional and gave an outstanding performance. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and would definitely use them again if the opportunity arose. Thank you to a superb band!
