Playing classic songs from the sixties to current rock and pop hits, The RockPins play throughout London and much of the UK. Clients include weddings, hotels, parties, corporate functions, sports clubs and universities etc.
All the members of the band are accomplished musicians, and thoroughly enjoy the music they peform. With drums, guitar, bass and 3 vocals, The RockPins maximise the potential for a 3 piece band, presenting a full sound which many bands can only achieve with a 4 or 5 members (which obviously tends to cost more!)

We offer a complete package for your entertainment including stage and dance floor lighting, a top of the range sound system and an optional DJ service to complete the night.

Wedding Party Band Hire - Devon - January 28th 2012

'We recently got married down in Devon and hired The RockPins who came down all the way from London to play. We had heard them play at several venues in South East London which is why we were desperate for them, and they were the only band we wanted. It is not often that the dance floor at a wedding is fully packed from the first song to the last, but ours was. Their setlist is truly amazing and they even let me sing my favourite song 'Live Forever' as the penultimate song before they ended with 'Hey Jude' which had every single one of the 150 guests singing along too. Really cannot thank them enough for making our day so amazing, and genuinely wouldn't have been the same without them. Can't recommend them highly enough.'

'Hi Matt, just a quick line to say thanks so much for playing at our wedding on Saturday - we had an amazing time & lots of people commented on how great you were!

Wedding Band Hire - Nonsuch Mansion, Surrey - Charlotte & Richard - February 19th 2011

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding, we had a fantastic day and the Rockpins made our evening! All our friends and family are still commenting on what a great band you are and there wasn't anyone who wasn't up on the dance floor at some point in the night (some never left!!)
Glad you were well looked after by the team at Nonsuch. It was a very special venue and we're looking forward to some great photos. I have attached a couple of pics that my friend took that I thought you might like to see.
Thanks again for everything on the 19th, you really did contribute to a fantastic day.
Take care and send our thanks to the rest of the guys too.

Charlotte and Richard

Wedding Band Hire - London - Nikki & Mark - November 27th 2010
Just a quick note to say thanks for last night - you were awesome and got everyone dancing! We had the most amazing time and we couldn't have picked a better band to air guitar to! All the guests agreed you were brilliant, and you've even converted my Dad to be a Killers fan - seeing as the last record he bought was back in 1977 and has complained ever since that modern music is rubbish, I think this is a remarkable achievement!!

Thanks again, hope you had fun too.
Nikki & Mark

...we are glad you enjoyed the evening, we definitely did and our guests loved you. When we went to pick all our stuff up the next day the wedding coordinator said you were one of the best bands that had played there. I think you may have a little boy wanting to join your band, he had a great time with the inflatable guitar!
Thanks again and we'll definitely be recommending you.

Wedding Band Hire - Simon and Rhianon - 23rd May 2009

We just got back from our honeymoon today and I wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for last Saturday – you guys were really great, as we knew you would be. Loads of people commented on how good you were (I wouldn't be surprised if you got a couple of bookings from it) and you really managed to get a good mix of oldies and newer stuff to keep everyone happy. So thank you!

If it hadn't been my own wedding (requiring me to spend at least some time talking to my guests, as you'll appreciate) I would have been on the dance floor from start to finish!
Thanks again

Function Band Hire - Hockey Club Dinner / Dance - April 4th 2009
Just a quick note to thank the RockPins for a thoroughly professional set on Saturday night at our annual dinner and dance.

The 100+ guests were highly impressed with the range of songs, both classic and bang-up-to-date, and many remarked on the musicianship of the band.

To have everyone up and dancing by the end was no mean feat and really made the evening a success from my standpoint - the customers were satisfied!"

Chairman, Old Williamsonians Hockey Club

"We hired the Rockpins for our Wedding in May 2010 and all I can say is that they were fantastic! They had a pre-defined set list but changed it for us to incorporate our requests which was great. The whole dance floor was packed and my Dad and his best mate still comment about how good they were now!! The guitarist truly is a legend - awesome. I cannot reccomend these guys highly enough - even if you are not looking at hiring a band check out their website for a local gig - you'll love it! Rob & Gem"
