Smart, professional, reliable: We usually wear white shirts, red ties and black trousers, but can be less formal if required. We always arrive on time and set up quickly and quietly and are friendly and polite. We have full public liability insurance and all our equipment is PAT tested. We're experienced in playing in every kind of venue and environment, from outside stages, teepees and marquees to the finest country homes in the country.

Please do come back for our next fundraiser, not sure if it will be annual or bi-annual but we would love you to join us again. Thank you very much! Helen Laughton, Tackely. Thank you so much for such an amazing night. You were brilliant, so many of our guests have said how much they loved you playing. A smash hit! Thank you for the extra songs, you really helped to make our wedding the best day of our lives. Genevieve and John, Somerset. We could not have made a better choice than picking the Hound Dogs to play at our wedding. So many people came up to us afterwards to find out how we heard about them. The dance floor was full the entire time they played. They were a big part of what made our wedding such a success. James Keidel, Lillibrooke Manor I hired the Hound Dogs for my 50th birthday and they were brilliant. There was a range of ages from 20 to 90 at the party but they managed to get pretty much everyone to dance (including my husband who hates dancing). They are a fantastic musicians and also really nice people - there was some confusion over timings from the venue and they volunteered to go over the finish time quoted in order to complete the set. Highly recommended. Ros Bacon, St Martin in the Field. The Hound Dogs absolutely made the party, they were so brilliant. If you're considering booking them and haven't yet then do it as soon as you can! Thanks guys! Carly Blake, London. We wanted to write to say thank you so so much for playing at our wedding. We had the best night of our lives and the music was a really big part of that! It was exactly what we wanted. Everyone loved it...as you may have gathered from the stage invasion! Sorry about that! Hope you had a good time in Devon and made it back alright. We will be highly recommending you to all our friends, so hopefully we'll see you again! Sarah and Rob, London. It was the most incredible night. From the moment The Hound Dogs played their first song EVERYONE was on the dancefloor (from 15 year olds to 80 year olds!) and it never emptied until the night finished! They really made the evening's entertainment truly special and memorable, I thoroughly recommend to anyone to hire them for their wedding. Cathy and Sam Ford, Oxford. Our guests said it was the best reception they've ever been to and how much they loved the music. We can't thank you enough for making our wedding one of the best days of our lives. Many thanks. Joe and Jen, Cardiff. The Hound Dogs played at our wedding and were absolutely incredible! They entirely rocked the party and we're flexible and a joy to work with. The whole process went really well, we were offered a play list to choose from and too their word the Hound Dogs stuck to it and mixed all our requests expertly in to two sets that got everyone on the dance floor. We had the most amazing time, I've never seen so many people get on the dance floor and stay there all night long! Thank you for everything. Tillie and Pete, Alpheton Barn Halls. Without exception, everyone was full of praise for the quality, range and professionalism of the band. Duncan Chapman, London. You were wonderful and everyone kept commenting on how amazing you were. I shall certainly be recommending you to friends. Lauren and Toby, Devon. We just wanted to drop you a line to say how outstanding and enjoyable Hound Dogs were on our wedding night. Their choice of music was perfect and brilliantly executed - really lively and had everyone up and dancing. I was throwing myself about the floor despite the wedding dress, and my husband was singing so much he was hoarse next morning! Richard and Claire Webster, Surrey. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the band for playing for us on our wedding day. You were brilliant and we loved it! Lots of very positive comments from our friends and family too. Thank you so much. Lisa and Richard, London. Now things have calmed down a bit after the wedding, we just wanted to just a belated massive thank you to the Hound Dogs for an amazing evening's entertainment at our wedding in August. Although we knew that you would be great, your set totally blew us away and surpassed what we were hoping for. We particularly loved your Elvis doubleheader played at our request - you certainly got everyone moving and shaking on the dancefloor! David and Gemma, London.
