Great Band!
We organise a yearly summer party for our employees and wanted to hire a band that would get everyone dancing and having a good time. We heard the Gin Trap House Band as we thought they would be a good fit. We weren’t wrong! We had about 100 people at the party and I think there were moments when everyone was on the dance floor at the same time! It was amazing and we’l definitely be booking them again.Punctuality

The Gin Trap House Band are great!
I booked The Gin Trap House Band to play at my wedding because I wanted something a little bit different, and love jazz and blues. They were perfect. They had that vintage sound but still kept everything really upbeat and lively!Punctuality
