“We searched locally for a band for our wedding but couldn't find anyone that seemed to suit our style or taste in music. We decided to search further afield and came across The Rips. From the outset the guys were great to work with. Easy booking process, good repertoire of songs and they even learnt our first dance song and sent us a recording so we could practice at home! On the day they had great energy and played some awesome sets that really got the guests going. The Dj sets in between were just as amazing! They'd really listened to our requests and played something to suit everyone. So many people commented how good the band were. And they managed to take loads of photos of us all on the dance floor which was hilarious to see a few days later! Couldn't recommend the guys enough. Good luck with future gigs!”

We had the best day ever!! Massive thanks!!!

“Hi Guys We had the best day ever!! The two reoccurring comments from the guests were how good the food was and how good the band was. Maybe one or two of the guests might give you a shout for events in the future. We are already planning to keep an eye on your Facebook page for future public gigs that we can come along to! We had high hopes for you guys when we booked as I had spent hours listening to sound clips of probably 100+ bands on the Internet and you guys were top of the pile in terms of sound and we liked your style too. Needless to say you definitely lived up to and exceeded expectations! The first dance was definitely a highlight and we will remember that forever. If you do manage to get a recording it would be great to get a copy. We massively appreciated the effort that you took to create the first dance! Massive thanks and best of luck for the future. James and Jen”

Caroline D booked The Rips for their Wedding at Tithe Barn Hall in Somerset

“We were impressed with The Rips from the outset, having considered several different bands for our wedding reception. We liked the diverse range of music they could offer and their flexibility. The band were friendly, professional and easy to deal with. Our guests had a great time and some commented on how much they enjoyed the music. My wife and I particularly enjoyed the close to their set, playing an acoustic version of "stand by me" out in the crowd. This was a nice touch as we didn't expect it. Overall we would not hesitate to recommend The Rips to our friends and family in the future. A big thank you for being a part of our special day and creating a great atmosphere.”

We’re so pleased with everything you did for us! Thanks agai...

Thanks again for everything and all the best. Regards, Ben and Jen”

Richard B booked The Rips for their Wedding in Essex

“The Rips bought a festival rock feel to our evening, which is exactly what we were looking for in our relaxed wedding reception. The quality from Alive Network bands seem to be good throughout, but for us what set them apart from others was their set list, particularly their more recent songs, so many, we struggled to limit our requests to 2 hours. They are popular songs, that many know, but are not the corny songs you hear from middle aged wedding DJs. The feedback from our guests was also really positive, particularly those dancing at the front! We also requested 3 pretty obscure covers, that were covered so well, we were impressed at how similar they sounded to the originals. The Rips were also helpful, good fun and got the crowd interacting through out the evening. Overall a great evening!”

Ruth P booked The Rips for their event in Warwickshire

“If you want a party you'll never forget, then look no further than The Rips. They are the reason your dancing feet hurt for days afterwards, the reason you can't speak because you've lost your voice trying to match them with their harmonies. And the reason you don't have too bad a hangover (thank goodness) because you didn't want to waste a single minute drinking when you could be having a boogie. They are 4 of the most talented, genuine, accommodating guys we have ever met. They are the glue that brings the party together. We are so grateful for their energy and music - the perfect party band - we will remember our 40th's for ever.”

Great end to a perfect day.

Oliver S booked The Rips for their Wedding in Warwickshire in South Yorkshire in Bristol in Bristol

“Absolutely brilliant. We requested a song which was on their old set list which they happily played for us, dance floor was full all night and they carried out a really unique performance at one point where the lead singer came into the crowd, formed a circle round him and performed acoustically which everyone loved and sang along to, which also gave us an unofficial second ‘first dance’ which we absolutely loved. They also didn’t mind when me and my bride started having a sing along with him on stage! One of our guests has already booked them for their wedding later this year.”
