“We had Rolling Keys Band at our PECKFORTIN CASTLE wedding. THEY sang me down the aisle beautifully and kept our guests entertained throughout the day, they were incredible and so professional. Many guests have requested using them in the future! rolling Keys and all three dj/sax/percussion kept the party going and engaging! Brilliant atmosphere. Would definitely recommend these guys!”

“Absolutely fantastic band, we had a brilliant night with them when they played at a friends wedding. Good selection of songs and music. Can’t recommend them enough and nothing was too much trouble for them. Absolutely 1st class!”

Q&A

1. CAN WE SEE THE BAND LIVE?

To ensure you love the band you want, it’s a great idea to attend one our showcase events to see the band live. Visiting a live showcase allows you to experience the band’s performance first-hand, giving you a genuine feel of their energy, stage presence, and ability to interact with the audience. This chance is priceless for determining whether the band fits with the overall theme and aesthetic of your event.

2. WILL THEY LEARN MY FIRST DANCE SONG?

The first dance is the showpiece of your evening and it’s great to have your band perform the song live. When picking your band, have a think about what first dance you’re going to choose and which band would suit the song. We have some wedding bands for hire that are really good at romantic songs and others that are good for upbeat songs. It’s good to keep this in mind when selecting the band for your wedding or event. 

3. WILL THE BAND TRAVEL

Our bands mainly cover Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool and Yorkshire but we also provide entertainment in London. We have a range of bands available, from rock bands to jazz bands, so you can find the perfect band for your event. Get in touch with our team to discuss your location.

4. HOW LONG DO THE BANDS PERFORM FOR?

Bands tend to perform 2 x 45-minute sessions across an evening reception. Many of our bands can upgrade their set times to 2 x 60 minutes. Our bands also offer a DJ service to cover the whole wedding reception so the music never stops and your dance floor is still jumping.

5. DO THE BANDS FOR HIRE OFFER DAYTIME OPTIONS

A lot of our bands are all perfect for your wedding breakfast, drinks reception or ceremony. To hear a sample of what the options sound like, please visit our acoustic page. You can also see the wedding bands perform an acoustic set every Sunday at Grantley Hall & Rudding Park. Get in touch to find out more!

6. CAN I REQUEST A SONG?

Known for getting the whole crowd singing along, The Rolling Keys repertoire can adapt to any occasion. You can request certain songs (such as for your first dance) or genres ahead of your event, so you’ll know the music will be perfect.
