INDIE ROCKS

POP & ROCK ACTS | PARTY BANDS

Indie Rocks are a high impact rock & pop band so if you're looking for something just a little different to your average function band, they are the perfect choice. With an authentic Indie sound, the band constantly update their repertoire to include the best of the current crop of guitar bands such as The Kings of Leon, The Black Keys and The Killers. They also perform classic hits from some of the great artists that have influenced them like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who and much, much more. Performing as a four piece party band (male vocals, guitar, bass & drums) these professional musicians put everything into the live show. So, whether you need a band for your Wedding, Corporate Event or Private Party, Indie Rock's infectious energy, combined with a finely crafted set list packed full of hits, will keep your dance floor rockin'. 

For something more chilled out, the band also perform as an Acoustic Trio (male vocals, guitar & bass) giving their own laid back, bluesy feel to current and classic hits. This cool alternative to more traditional 'background' music is the perfect accompaniment to your wedding reception drinks or corporate dinner and can be booked separately or as an extra alongside the full party band. 

Indie Rock's are fully self-contained bringing their own PA and stage lighting as standard so you don't need to worry about organising any equipment. 

Professional and experienced, the band's musicians have played hundreds of weddings and private parties as well as corporate events for clients such as Jamesons Whisky, Nespresso, TopShop and O2, to name just a few. Plus with CVs and playing credits ranging from Amy Winehouse to Skunk Anansie's Skin, the band's personnel have played vast European festivals and some of the UK's leading venues, including Wembley Arena, Indigo2, Shepherd's Bush Empire and Cardiff's Millennium Centre. These musicians are not short of talent or experience! 

And finally, the band are always punctual, respectful and super professional both on and off the stage - they are often praised for being a pleasure to work with. So, not only are you guaranteed a rocking performance from Indie Rocks', they are also one of the friendliest bands you will come across. 

Line-ups 

4 Piece Party Band - male vocals, guitar, bass & drums 

For the full rockin' performance the 4 piece line-up will really get your party started! 

3 Piece Acoustic - male vocals, guitar & bass 

The perfect backdrop to a wedding drinks reception or a corporate dinner, the Acoustic Trio has that cool edge but with a chilled out vibe (can be booked separately or as an extra set option alongside the full band).

TESTIMONIALS

  • We just wanted to feedback how amazing we thought Indie Rocks were when they played at our Post Wedding Party last night. Their version of Elbow's 'One Day Like This' for our first dance was so special, totally brilliant and we loved it. The rest of the songs throughout the evening were just as great and we loved them all, a great mix of oldies and newbies. We have had so much positive feedback from our guests, from young to old everyone has commented on how great the band was, even the hotel bar staff said how good they were and that they were one of the best bands they had seen. The evening flew by and we just wish they could have played all night too and we would definitely book them again if we get an excuse. Many thanks to all of the band members and to yourself for making the whole process, from start to finish, go so smoothly and for being so helpful and flexible, really nice bunch of guys :)

  • I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to the band for a fabulous performance at our 50th Birthday celebrations! We thought they were brilliant and we've had fantastic feedback from our guests who all really enjoyed their performance and raved about them and they kept the dance floor filled until the last minute. We didn't want music that was going to make us feel "old" and they had just the right mix of current, classic and a few oldies for the occasion. They were very professional and efficient and just arrived and got on with setting up so they were ready before everyone arrived. Jay was brilliant and stayed as late as he possibly could to keep the music going after the band had packed up. The guests were still begging for more as he left! They seemed a thoroughly pleasant bunch of guys who certainly made us feel they were enjoying the gig as much as we were. Thank you
    - Charlotte and Julian Tompkins 50th Birthday Party 15th June 2013
  • We would very much like to thank the band members for their contribution to the celebration. The music was enjoyed by all and helped make our day. A very professional approach and a very nice bunch of guys. Loved the music! Thanks again.
    - Sue and Chris Clark for their daughter's wedding celebrations 22nd June 2013
  • The guys were brilliant. They effortlessly arrived, got everything set up, queued up the playlists, started no problems, rocked the joint, played a few extra numbers, allowed some of the gang rap on their equipment and were a huge hit with the guests. We were really impressed with how tight the band was, the breath of the repertoire and the real energy they put into it. Thanks again for all your work in the run up and for helping making it a great night
    - Joe McCarthy and Nicola Carnegie Wedding 8th June 2013
  • We wanted to thank the band for their amazing performance at my party last month. They arrived early so there was plenty of time to set up and give us the chance to say hi before we got ready at home. We wanted the sound level set so people could still chat in the corners and your sound engineer was very helpful in respecting our wishes. The music was outstanding! Loads of people were giving compliments on the night and we've had lots of phone calls too, saying how much everyone loved the sound and authenticity of the band. We spend the whole evening dancing and the party was still going strong right up until the end. We were delighted with the playlist and found your communication beforehand very helpful in selecting the music. The ipod sets too were great - all my favourite songs one after the other. And the lighting made the room look lovely. All in all, the band made the evening a true success, thanks

  • Helen, Can I please take this opportunity to thank you for the entertainment you provided to the 4 Rifles Sjts Mess Christmas Ball. I have had numerous comments on the quality of entertainment provided on the evening by yourselves and how engaging they were to the audience. Would you please pass this on to 21st Century Riot whose two sets were excellent, we even managed to get people dancing in the Mess who never dance and frankly don't even move at times. But such was the quality of the band they generated the atmosphere for individuals to dance and enjoy themselves. The Commanding Officer has also written to the Mess thanking them all for hosting him and his wife, and has commented on the quality of all the Entertainment being first class. Again, I thank you all for making this event such a special evening for the Mess Members and hopefully we can do business again in the future. Have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Regards,

  • Hi Helen, Hope you are well. Have been meaning to email you, we had our wedding and went on honeymoon and now back to normal :)- Wanted to let you know that the guys were absolutely fabulous on our wedding day and to send a belated thank you! We had great fun on the bus tour, so glad they came on the bus as that was the perfect entertainment for the tour. And also during our dinner they played greatly and everyone loved them. As everything went so quickly I didn't get a proper chance to say thank you, so a belated email to do this. I hope they also enjoyed the day/evening. Anyway, hope you have a great weekend ahead and best of luck with all future bookings. I will definitely recommend the guys to anyone who is in need. Best regards, Marieke Marieke & David, Wedding, London, 14/10/2017

  • We had the pleasure of seeing 21st Century Riot perform a while ago, and as soon as we booked our wedding, we knew we had to have you! From the first point of contact, until the very last moment of our wedding reception, you were all so supportive, helpful and professional. Your sound and timing was perfect and the dance floor was packed all night, with all our friends and family absolutely loving the music. I can't tell you how many people complimented you all, the song choices, the timing, the depth of sound. We had the most amazing evening thanks to you all, and I would recommend you to anyone looking for a top class band for any event. We also booked your DJ to play in breaks and before and after the band's sets, and he was faultless, ending our night with people dancing until the speakers went silent. My only insistence for our wedding plans, had been to have a live band, specifically 21st Century Riot, and you helped us achieve the wedding day we longed for. I can't thank you all enough. We wish you every success and prosperity!
    - Ellen & Darren, Wedding, West Sussex, 05/08/2017
  • Hi Helen, I just wanted to thank you and the band for their fantastic performance on Friday - they went down really well with our guests and they were very professional. We wouldn't hesitate in using them again should we require a band for any future functions. And thankfully the issue with the sound limit wasn't a problem on the night - I could hardly hear myself speak so I don't think anyone would have thought they were too quiet! Thanks again
    - Kate Bostock, Company Party, Staffordshire, 04/08/2017
  • We hired 21st Century Riot for our wedding in Bristol after seeing them play a friend's birthday party in London. They are a band that can play a wide variety of songs - classic rock, indie and even a Proclaimers song.... well it was a half Scottish Wedding after all!!! Combined that with their music talent, enthusiasm, energy and song choices they got everyone up and dancing. 21st Century Riot also accommodated friends joining in and learnt a few extra songs requested by us. After the wedding the guests were feeding back how good the band were. It was a pleasure dealing with the management team and 21st Century Riot everything was organised and planned to perfection. If you are looking for a brilliant band for any occasion look no further than 21st Century Riot they are highly recommended.
    - Simon & Dawna, Wedding, Bristol, 22/07/2017
  • Helen, Just a quick note to say a huge thank you to the band. They really made the party, worked incredibly hard and were super polite and respectful. I'm sure they will have secured some future bookings from the event as everyone was raving about them. Thanks again
    - Karina Thomas, Birthday Party, Surrey, 08/07/2017
  • 21st Century Riot were the band for our wedding in London. We were looking for a band with a great sound. A band who could really sing, play and perform, would get the party going and the dance floor full. We found that in 21st Century Riot. The organisation before the day was professional and easy, on the day the band gave a great performance of lots of classic rock and indie songs that meant we were on the dance floor nearly all night and it was full the whole time. We also hired the 21st Century Riot acoustic duo for our wedding ceremony music and drinks reception which was one of our best decisions. Everyone complimented the music and sound they produced and it gave our drinks reception a great atmosphere. We couldn't recommend 21st Century Riot highly enough - if you're looking for a band for your wedding or an acoustic duo you won't find better.
    - Kate & Peppy, Wedding, London, 15/04/2017
  • Hi Helen, Laura and I just wanted to pass on a massive thanks to Jay and the guys for the fantastic music at our Wedding on Saturday night. Every single guest said the band were the best they has ever heard/seen at a wedding and we couldn't agree more. There was something in the play-list for everyone and boy did the party lift off in the second set! From start to finish, both yourself and the guys were absolute professionals through the lead-up, setup and finish. If anyone is reading this looking for an upbeat Indie-Rock 'floor filling' band for a very special occasion, like we were 5 months ago, then honestly look no further as these are the ones! 21st Century Riot will not disappoint you and you can book these guys in confidence that your night will be fantastic as ours was. Thank you again Helen, Jay and all the Band - keep doing what you are doing as you are simply awesome. Much Love,
    - Laura & Andy, Wedding, Lincolnshire, 10/12/2016
  • Hi Helen, Thank you so much for getting everything arranged so smoothly for our wedding knees- up last week. Having the band available to play both acoustic and electric sets was fantastic for breaking up the evening and we had so many compliments from guests about how great they were. The guys were so professional and easy to work with, setting up in good time and staying with us right until the end of the night - they certainly put in an impressive shift! I should mention how special it was that the band learnt a track to play for our first dance and we appreciate that they really went the extra mile. Given that the dancefloor was full for so much of the evening our other guests clearly enjoyed themselves too! Best wishes,
    - Ed & Shelley, Wedding, Surrey, 29/10/2016
  • Hey Helen, Mum and Dad had an amazing night - everything went brilliantly. The band were fantastic and so lovely! Letting the kids play the drums! Two of my Dad's friends have asked for contact details as they would like to book them in for other events. Dad's song was brilliant, he did a little speech then went into his song, he did forget a few words but it went down really well, he just stood there with his hand in his pocket styling it out - I had a little cry! Thank you so much for all your help you always make everything so easy. Hopefully you will get a couple more bookings in too! Thanks again,
    - Gemma Cattermole, her parent's Anniversary Party, Suffolk, 10/09/2016
  • Dear Helen, I'm sure Andrew will reply as well! We both loved the band and so did all the guests. They kept us on the dance floor and really entertained us. They have a real connection when they play and obviously enjoy what they do. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants a fantastic collection of songs played fantastically well!! Thank you all for making the evening such a success. Kind regards,
    - Melanie Eyles, her daughter's 21st Birthday Party, Somerset, 10/09/2016
  • Hi Helen, Just got back yesterday and have ultimate wedding blues L BUT we had the most amazing day and honeymoon- we wouldn't have changed anything. Jay and the band were absolutely brilliant - they really got the crowd going and everyone commented on how much they just didn't want to leave the dancefloor. The playlist was a mixture of classics and more modern music to get everyone in the crowd moving. They were also brilliant to work with on the day and were like part of the wedding party from start to finish. Thank you so much for all the seamless organisation and making our wedding day the most special and unforgettable day we could have wished for. They were so so perfect we couldn't have wished for anyone better! Thank you!!
    - Becs O'Neill, Wedding, Suffolk, 03/09/2016
  • Hi Helen Having recovered from my hangover, but still suffering aches and pains from all the dancing I thought I should drop you an email about 21st Century Riot! Jay and the guys were charming and professional when it came to setting up and once they had, what a fantastic sound! I cannot thank them enough for belting out track after track of superb tunes. The whole evening was a great success, thanks in no small part to the guys and also the the DJ who kept things going between sets. I would have no hesitation recommending the band and judging by the comments from all of the guests neither would they. Thanks again and I'm sure we will see the guys again soon!

  • Hi Helen, Thank you for getting in touch, we are going to send you a thank you card with all of our feedback and appreciation, so please watch out for that when we get some photos back. As for immediate feedback, Rob and I (and a vast majority of our guests) thought that 21st Century Riot were by far the best wedding band we'd ever heard. They had everyone up on the dance floor from the moment they started playing, including both sets of parents and my 80+ yr old uncle. The playlist was incredible and the guys were a lot of fun. They were also extremely slick in their set up and made everything run so smoothly. Thank you so much for making our wedding memorable and complete. Hope to hear them again in the future. Regards,
    - Alex & Rob, Wedding, Hampshire, 26/08/2016
  • Helen, I just wanted to send a note to pass on my thanks to you and all the "21st Century Riot" guys for making my 50th Party such a night to remember. From all of your organisation up-front, to the awesome gig that the guys put on on Saturday night - it made my 50th celebration a memorable occasion. Everyone has commented on how good they were - it was very special. A few have asked for the band's details which I have forwarded on - so I hope there will be some more gigs for the guys coming up in the near future. I am hopeful that my company may try and book the guys for our work Christmas do in December. Thanks Again. Kind Regards,
    - Simon Hunt, 50th Birthday Party, Surrey, 20/08/2016
  • We booked 21st Century Riot together with their DJ after having trawled through a list of many other bands. We were NOT disappointed. The communication between Helen, their manager and Jay the lead singer was faultless, they discussed every detail and made sure all our requirements were met, nothing was too much trouble. We weren't at the venue at the time of their arrival and setup but everything was in place at the given time and the DJ had just started. The band/DJ were polite, friendly and well presented. Their sound was amazing, a lot of cover bands just do not get it right, this is something you cannot say about this band. They were rocking right from the very first song. Their mix of older and newer was very well balanced, so all ages were on the floor having a great time. We can honestly say that they well exceeded our expectations. We have had numerous texts come through saying what a brilliant evening it was and where did we find them! They were worth every penny, entertainment is the most important thing to ensure an event goes well and we couldn't have asked for a more successful evening.
    - Trish Boddington (Mother of the Groom), Wedding, Berkshire, 06/08/2016
  • Thank you to Helen and the Band for being part of our magical day. They really helped make it perfect. There was great communication before the day and the bands repertoire is amazing. We made a few tweeks to the set list they proposed just to keep all the family happy! The day itself, the band arrived with plenty of time and although we had a small space, discreetly set up. When the music started it brought guests in to listen and dance even on a hot day! The atmosphere was great and they are really talented musicians. As I speak to friends and family after our wedding there are so many comments on how great the band was and considering some of them are in bands themselves this is a great compliment. Once again thank you so much for making the evening part of the wedding so much fun - I really am trying to plan another party where the band can play again!!
    - Mr and Mrs Hanson! Siobhan Hanson, Wedding, Hertfordshire, 23/07/2016
  • We asked 21st Century Riot to play at our wedding on the 12th December 2015 after seeing them at perform at a friend's wedding previous the year. We both have large music loving families and friends and knew they would be perfect for our evening reception and we weren't disappointed. Helen was fantastic, the booking process was really easy, she was friendly and helpful all the way through accommodating us with any requests we had and making me feel confident everything would run smoothly on the day. The band turned up perfectly on time and set up quickly and efficiently. The set was amazing and they were brilliant, keeping everyone on the dance floor all night. I think the band are genuinely the best function band I have seen and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a live band for a special occasion. My wedding guests were all of the same opinion as me and Joe with everyone commenting on how great they were. Thank you to you all for a wonderful job.
    - Gemma & Joe, Wedding, Suffolk, 12/12/2015
  • Hi Helen, Thanks so much, we are so pleased that we selected you guys for the party - the band did a fantastic job and made it a night to always remember. They were so tight and such a great bunch of blokes too. We had so many comments about what a great band they were and many people asked how we found you. Our little boys, also now have new heroes! Little Jacob has now built a foot pedal to go with his plastic guitar. We really appreciate how great (and patient) the band were with them as they set up. It was greatly enjoyable building the playlists, thanks so much for your support with this. Our next long car journey to see family miles away should be a lot of fun. The photos you shared are fantastic. It was very thoughtful and kind of Jay to arrange the group shot which gives us a lasting visual memory. The band shots are a great surprise and are completely awesome! We will have to put in a frame alongside the set list they left behind! Happy days! Best regards,
    - Matt & Sarah, Birthday Party, Surrey, 14/11/2015
  • Hi Helen, Firstly my apologies for the delay in thanking you all for a fabulous performance at our wedding in September. We spent such a long time trying to decide on a band and my god I am so happy we chose 21st Century Riot, they were amazing. From the initial booking, dealing with Helen, creating a playlist, overall peace of mind the music would suit all ages, to the most professional and easy going people on the day! Not forgetting the most important, they ROCKED the wedding and EVERYONE was on that dance floor. Massive thank-you Boys (and Helen), it was a pleasure.
    - Fredrica & Ben, Wedding Leicestershire, 05/09/2015
  • Dear Helen, Jay & all at 21st Century Riot, Just a note to say thank you all for treating us to an evening of wonderful music and entertainment. It was just what we had hoped for and more, we could not have been more delighted. In essence the two brilliant sets of music it hit all the right notes catering for a very wide age-range. We had many enquiries after the event as to how we found the band so I have been very happily referring them. We have been to many events recently and none of the live bands have come anywhere close to your standard, so thanks so much for saying 'Yes' to our initial enquiry. When looking at bands on the internet, (I listened to what seemed to be hundreds), I drew up a short list, then listened to all the demo tracks and videos and put my top four in order of priority. This I then asked my husband to listen to (as it was his birthday), and his top four were pretty much the same with 21st Century Riot being number 1 on both lists! My only concern, once we had decided, was that you might say 'No sorry we don't travel to Shropshire', so I was very relieved and happy when you said 'Yes'! Also, the fact that the band were early and happy to set up themselves meant no hassle for us on the night. The only downside is that it was over too quickly and I am trying to rack my brains to think of an excuse to do it all over again. Our youngest son does have a 21st to sort out, so you never know, you might be hearing from us again. Just by way of thanks for your help Helen, and to Jay and the boys for driving all the way to Shropshire to play for us, a separate gift is winging it's way to you. Kindest regards and continued success,
    - Gill Griffiths, Birthday Party, Shropshire, 12/09/2015
  • 21st Century Riot are an excellent band. We hired them to headline our festival themed wedding and their brand of energetic party rock was perfect for the event. The dancefloor was packed and buzzing throughout the 2 sets they played for us, and it was easy to see why as they filled up the big stage with charisma and charm. It was a fairly large, outdoor venue with a big stage which some bands may have found a bit difficult, but 21st Century Riot clearly loved it. We had a fairly mixed audience which included musicians and serious music fans and everyone appreciated how tight the band sounded, aided by a brilliant sound that had been created by the sound engineer that they arranged for us. The songs are generally well known indie classics which many, many bands cover, however 21st Century Riot really make them their own and have a real passion for the material which few will be able to match. They were happy for me (the groom) to get up and sing which we arranged beforehand, and when that went down well they were happy for me to do another one. They also got me and my new wife back up for the last song to do backing vocals, all of which were really fun and went down really well with the audience. Aside from the music, Jay and the guys are really nice, friendly, professional guys. Happy to chat after the gig whilst they were cooling down, turned up on time and got on with sound checking with no fuss or problems. Communication with Helen (the band's manager) before the gig was very easy. It was arranged at quite short notice so her quick responses and flexibility were vital. In all, 21st Century Riot were a huge factor in making our wedding the great day that it was.
    - Ben & Sarah, Wedding, Derbyshire, 15/08/2015
  • We couldn't have asked for a more perfect and professional band than 21st Century Riot and our guests loved them! From the first to the last song they had everyone of all ages up on the dance floor, including my 93 year old grandmother who was a huge fan! The guys themselves were lovely and so friendly which made a real difference. We also made some song requests from their set-list which they were more than happy to accommodate which was great - we would recommend anyone to use 21st Century Riot to ensure an amazing time is had by all!
    - Matt & Clarissa, Wedding, Gloucestershire, 25/07/2015
  • 21st Century Riot were just brilliant - really they were the inspiration for the party and I can't wait to have another!
    - Tara Kusch, Birthday Party, Surrey, 04/07/2015.
  • 21st Century Riot was fantastic! The guys were really friendly and professional in every way so that everything was done smoothly and efficiently from setting up to clearing away. The sets were fantastic, great songs expertly performed. It was a really full, tight sound with great guitar riffs, excellent vocals and a beat to make the urge to dance impossible to resist... just what we were looking for! It was my son's 18th and the 150+ 18 to 20 year olds loved the music as much as the '40-something' contingent. 21st Century Riot are a really class act... we couldn't have been more pleased.
    - Jo Mason, Birthday Party, North Yorkshire, 20/06/2015
  • Hi Helen, Please pass on to the guys. They were absolutely brilliant - pure quality. Just made the evening. Would recommend them to anyone! Thanks,
    - Liam Greasley, 50th Birthday Party, Surrey, 21/03/2015
  • Hi Helen, I have had nothing but praise and positive feedback regarding 21st Century Riot. They kept everyone at the event on their feet on both of their sets. They were really good and will be recommending them to all my friends. Can you pass on from all the members and guests of the Sergeants' Mess 4 RIFLES, a big thank you for entertaining us. Kind regards,
    - Grayham 7 Sergeants Mess 4 Rifles Christmas Function, Wiltshire, 06/12/2014
  • Professional, flexible, fun and totally unique! If you want a successful party you need 21st Century Riot - It's as simple as that!!
    - Leonora Taylor, Company Christmas Party, London, 05/12/2014
  • Hi Helen, Jay and the band were really, really incredible. I honestly cannot say enough good things about them on the night (and beforehand too!). We loved their play list, their whole energy and they just sounded great. I want to get the video back so I can listen to snippets of them playing again. Helen, thank you so much for all your help all the way through - it's been amazing working with you and I cannot tell you how much we appreciate it! Our day was so incredible - we just want it all over again. Best wishes,
    - Lisa Adams, Wedding, Cheltenham, 01/11/2014
  • Hi Helen, Wow what a band! I cannot say enough how fantastic they were. Absolutely every guest commented on how fantastic they were. Absolutely made our wedding! Can you please thank them all for me. Wonderful!!! With love and best wishes,
    - Cathy Hudson, Wedding, Suffolk, 20/09/2014
  • Hi Helen, Thanks so much for making my party so memorable! The band were great, really accommodating and kept the floor filled the whole night. They looked like they were having a great time too which helped. I've had loads of complimentary comments. I wouldn't hesitate an instant in using you guys again. Best regards to you and the guys
    - Ray Molony, Birthday Party, 06/09/2014
  • Hi Helen, Well, the 24th August was our big wedding day and there was no decision or argument to be had, we had booked 21st Century Riot for our double 40th and they were brilliant even for a VERY mixed crowed. Once again they were very committed to travel to deepest Devon on a bank holiday, get the atmosphere right on the night and play hard. We had the best night of our lives, kicked our shoes off and danced for the happiest marriage. Thank you Jay and the boys for another great gig and our mates are stillllllll talking about you! Here's to your great talent, rock n roll and from us both an enormous thank you!
    - Ruth and Matt Ruth Baily, Wedding, Devon, 24/08/2014
  • Hi Helen, Thank you for your email. I was really, really happy with the band - thank you. Everyone said how great they were, they created such a great atmosphere and the dancing was a highlight of the day! Thanks again,
    - Rose & Ben, Wedding, 23/08/2014
  • Hi Helen, The band were A-MA-ZING, incredibly professional, very polite and completely rocked our wedding!! It was a truly great day and night, and they certainly played a big part. The dance floor was more or less packed for the whole night, particularly during the second set. They even got heckled into one more song! They played the event perfectly and we have had so many positive comments about the bands performance. We probably paid a little more than we had originally budgeted, but it was entirely worth it. It was a real highlight of the wedding to see so many people up on the dance floor having such a great time.
    - Tom & Fiona, Wedding, 02/08/2014
  • I just wanted to say how over the moon we were with 21st Century Riot - they were FANTASTIC and we loved the first dance. We cannot wait to hear them again on our wedding DVD when we get it. We had lots of people asking us who they were and people have been raving about how good they were so thank you to them for making our day so special. We would consider using them again in the future and I would definitely refer them on to anyone looking for a good function band. I attach a few photos - they are not the best but do show that we had a ball on stage. The band were so good! Thanks,
    - Sam & Ash, Wedding, 05/07/2014
  • Helen, I would just like to pass on our thanks to Indie Riot for a great performance on Sat 28th June at Stirling Lines (Hereford). The band was extremely professional, very talented and demonstrated great flexibility as the event unfolded and last minute changes were made. Thanks again. Regards

  • Hi Helen, Just back from honeymoon, had a wonderful time, thank you! I was going to write to you anyway as we would like you to pass on a huge THANK YOU to the band. The band were absolutely fantastic! They played our first dance perfectly and really got our party started and kept if going until midnight! They played all our favourite stuff and our guests loved them. I wouldn't hesitate to book them again and will recommend to anyone who asks. Hope I get to dance to their music again sometime soon! Huge thank you from us! If you'd like to use this email as a testimonial on their site, I'd be really happy for you to do that. Thanks for helping make our wedding party amazing. Very best wishes,
    - Katherine Burrell, Wedding, 24/05/2014
  • Hi Helen, Jay and the guys were brilliant - played some great music and chose songs that appealed to everyone. Even my Dad got up and danced! Many thanks to all of you for helping make the day extra special. Hopefully we'll get to see the guys the next time they play. All the best

  • Hi Helen, One of my tasks on our return home was to contact you! We had a fantastic time, best wedding I've ever been to, but then I am biased! Thank you Helen for the detailed planning that went into organising the evening. As for the band- wow, they were brilliant! They really made the evening. We all loved the choice of music and the fact that the band seemed to be enjoying playing too. The bride and groom were absolutely delighted and I breathed a sigh of relief, as it was my idea to ditch the disco! From the very first number the dance floor was full. I would also like to mention the band's professionalism and the unobtrusive way that they arrived, set up, and disappeared when not playing. We also really appreciated the music in between the sets-great choices. It was all over too soon! I would happily recommend 21st Century Riot to anyone wanting great quality music from four great guys. Thank you all so much for making the evening so special.
    - Chris Chalmers, the groom's mother, Wedding, 03/05/2014
  • Hi Helen, Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how amazing Jay and the boys were last night. One of my lasting memories of our wedding will be watching my (new) 72 year old mother in law dancing like a crazy teenager to some Rolling Stones - not bad considering she had a knee replacement only 6 months ago! Unfortunately quite a few of our guests flagged after the evening buffet and didn't quite last through to the bands last set, but the guys kept the energy up for those of us still on our feet and closed the night out on a definite high. Everyone this morning has said to us how good they thought the band were and how much they loved the music they played. Please pass on our thanks to the guys once again and our thanks to you for helping to arrange everything.

  • I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you for the entertainment that you supplied for our Mess Christmas Ball. 21st Century Riot are without doubt one of the best bands that I have heard. The variety of music that they played struck a chord with all members of the audience, with it ranging from the 60's through to modern day, with of course the obligatory Christmas songs. The dance floor always had people on it. Rachel (DJ) was also superb with her song selection, in order to keep the tempo up and people on the dance floor. She was also very accommodating in playing people's requests. I look forward to working with you again.
    - SA Scott SSgt, WOs & Sgts Mess Christmas Ball, 14/12/2013
  • Hi Helen We had a superb time on Saturday night and I wanted to say thanks to Jay and his band for their slick performance. The mix of music had the guests up and dancing straight away and we have had some great feedback from guests who had a great time. We would certainly contact you again to perform at our parties.
    - Kevin Burnett-Whalley, Ericsson Christmas Party, 07/12/2013
  • Hi Helen, We just wanted to feedback how amazing we thought 21st Century Riot were when they played at our Post Wedding Party last night. Their version of Elbow's 'One Day Like This' for our first dance was so special, totally brilliant and we loved it. The rest of the songs throughout the evening were just as great and we loved them all, a great mix of oldies and newbies. We have had so much positive feedback from our guests, from young to old everyone has commented on how great the band was, even the hotel bar staff said how good they were and that they were one of the best bands they had seen. The evening flew by and we just wish they could have played all night too and we would definitely book them again if we get an excuse. Many thanks to all of the band members and to yourself for making the whole process, from start to finish, go so smoothly and for being so helpful and flexible, really nice bunch of guys :)
    - Karen and Michael Spencer - Wedding Party, 31/08/2013
  • We would very much like to thank the band members for their contribution to the celebration. The music was enjoyed by all and helped make our day. A very professional approach and a very nice bunch of guys. Loved the music! Thanks again.
    - Sue & Chris Clark for their daughter's wedding celebrations, 22/06/2013
  • Dear Helen, I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to the band for a fabulous performance at our 50th Birthday celebrations! We thought they were brilliant and we've had fantastic feedback from our guests who all really enjoyed their performance and raved about them and they kept the dance floor filled until the last minute. We didn't want music that was going to make us feel "old" and they had just the right mix of current, classic and a few oldies for the occasion. They were very professional and efficient and just arrived and got on with setting up so they were ready before everyone arrived. Jay was brilliant and stayed as late as he possibly could to keep the music going after the band had packed up. The guests were still begging for more as he left! They seemed a thoroughly pleasant bunch of guys who certainly made us feel they were enjoying the gig as much as we were. Thank you.
    - Charlotte & Julian Tompkins - 50th Birthday Party, 15/06/2013
  • The guys were brilliant. They effortlessly arrived, got everything set up, queued up the playlists, started no problems, rocked the joint, played a few extra numbers, allowed some of the gang rap on their equipment (!) and were a huge hit with the guests. We were really impressed with how tight the band was, the breath of the repertoire and the real energy they put into it. Thanks again for all your work in the run up and for helping making it a great night.
    - Joe McCarthy & Nicola Carnegie - Wedding, 08/06/2013
  • Regarding 21st Century Riot, our feedback is all very positive. The band were fantastic live- whilst the video on-line was good, it doesn't really do them justice. The quality of the sound & their performance was excellent. Their choice of songs was also just right, as was their interaction with our (occasionally slightly mad & inebriated) guests! They got everyone dancing and created a great atmosphere. Probably the best sign is that many people (including the discerning music lovers amongst the guests) told me later how much they had enjoyed the music & asked me who the band was/ how I had found them. The DJ was also great at maintaining the tempo & atmosphere. She did a great job of finding the spanish language tracks & mixing them into the night. But at the same time she adapted in order to keep everyone on the dance floor. Everyone was very flexible considering that the music started an hour later than planned & that they were interrupted for a few unexpected hiccups. We really appreciated therefore that everyone stayed until 1am and were still there packing up when we left. They were also great at checking with me if we wanted to stick to the original plan given the delay, how we wanted the music for the bouquet/ garter throwing etc. All in all, everyone was excellent & topped off a great day. I would happily recommend the band & the DJ for anyone's event.
    - Anya Revans - Wedding, 18/05/2013
  • Just a quick note to thank you for the effort you put into arranging for Saturday just gone and a huge thank you to the band members who were absolutely fantastic. Everybody had a great night. Thanks again.
    - Phil Rogerson - Private Party, 27/04/2013
  • We wanted to thank the band for their amazing performance at my party last month. They arrived early so there was plenty of time to set up and give us the chance to say hi before we got ready at home. We wanted the sound level set so people could still chat in the corners and your sound engineer was very helpful in respecting our wishes. The music was outstanding! Loads of people were giving compliments on the night and we've had lots of phone calls too, saying how much everyone loved the sound and authenticity of the band. We spend the whole evening dancing and the party was still going strong right up until the end. We were delighted with the playlist and found your communication beforehand very helpful in selecting the music. The ipod sets too were great - all my favourite songs one after the other. And the lighting made the room look lovely. All in all, the band made the evening a true success, thanks!
    - Michelle and Mike - Private Party, 10/11/2012
  • Just to let you know how WICKED 21st Century Riot were yesterday... They were such a nice bunch of boys and performed so well, were entertaining and super professional. I would recommend them to anyone and will so. Hope to be able to use them again soon, thanks for everything. X
    - Emma Pineiro - Events Director, 09/01/2012
  • Maria, the guests and I thought that 21st Century Riot were simply awesome. They hit all the notes, played some of the best contemporary songs and did justice to some old rock classics. Sound quality excellent.
    - Maria Plunkett - Private Party, 15/07/2011
  • The day went very well and we were both delighted with everything, including 21st Century Riot. Many of our guests commented how good they were. One couple at our bash had met 47 years ago (on the 19th June) and their first dance had been Walk the Dog by the Stones. The band were asked if they could play it which they could not - at the time they were asked. The band went for their break and, when they came back, they had learnt it. The band played the song and the couple did the very dance that they had 47 years previously - what a fantastic thing for them to have done. It made such an impact and the band have my utmost respect for going out of their way to make it happen. The guys were absolute stars.
    - Chris Evans - Wedding, 20/06/2011
  • I just wanted to say thanks so much, firstly for persuading me to go with it, and of course to the guys for a truly amazing performance. They really were absolutely superb, fantastic performance but also so very professional and got it just right, you could see the sound, lights, mood and everything was being tweaked all the time. I was so worried we'd gone a bit long for such a small do, but they were totally relaxed and played brilliantly, they were perfect for us, they even looked like they were enjoying themselves :-) At one point I looked up to see the whole place literally jumping up and down. It was certainly a rocking night and one to remember. So, a heartfelt thank you, and if you're planning any public gigs please do let me know as we'd love to see them again.
    - Sophy Thomas - Wedding, 22/01/2011
  • 21st Century Riot were fantastic!! Please pass on my thanks to them. I have had lots of positive feedback from people over the last couple of days. Everyone thought they were brilliant. I can only say that from my end, things went very smoothly. I didn't notice that there were any issues with setting up, timing etc. they were great. Thanks again,
    - Sarah Foster, Private Party, 15/12/2010
  • ...yes thank-you, the event went well; the feedback has been very positive, so thanks to all. I have to say that all of them are extremely polite and pleasant people to deal with and that it was a great pleasure to take care of them.

  • I spent wonderful time with guys - the show was very-very positive and the customer is really satisfied.
    - Alexander Burtashov , Scholz Artists, Russia (Jamesons Whisky), 11/12/2010
  • We were very pleased with 21st Century Riot's performance. I was nervous of being in charge of booking the band for an important corporate event but they were brilliant and everyone enjoyed the performance. I was very happy with the services provided by the band. I have had lots of positive feedback on their performance from our guests. We are very pleased with how our event went and would be happy to use the band again in the future.
    - Vicky Beacham - Kensey Foods, 11/08/2010
  • The band ROCKED! Absolutely top notch. Sounded great. Looked great. Was a huge contributor to the successful party and need to make sure they stick together as they are playing at my 50th again :-) Thanks for organizing, and please make sure the band gets the above feedback!!
