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!

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.
