Dont just take our word for it. When you book us you’ll get a group of professional and reliable musicians who love what they do and who are committed to having a good time making sure you’re having a good time

"Jono and the band 'rocked', professional, relaxed and friendly. The band adjusted their set times as we were well behind our wedding plan schedule. They learnt our first dance song for us and performed it brilliantly. Thank you guys for making our wedding evening the best!! "

"I have taken the liberty of personally calling Jono of The Tommy Guns to thank him and the rest of the band for the brilliant sets which got every one up and dancing at our party.

We were asked if we had a special song that they could play for us, we gingerly asked them if at all possible to play our wedding song which is a little know song by Bruce Springsteen's "Should I Fall Behind".
To say we were knocked out by Jono and the bands rendition of this very special song for us is putting it mildly.

It was amazing!! It was difficult for us to hear the difference, it was as if Bruce himself was singing to us in deepest darkest Dartmoor!!! What an incredible take on this song Jono and his band did for us. I am sure that if The Boss himself heard you sing this, he too would have been equally impressed, just brilliant. Thank you Tommy Guns, if we need a band again we will be calling you be sure of that.

"Tommy & Sons we’re absolutely phenomenal - and every one of our guests would agree! (So much so, we have friends desperate to try and hire them for their weddings abroad!)
They went above and beyond to learn not just one, but numerous songs, take requests, change their schedule to our order of the day and perform a great DJ set to suit the vibe of the evening.
Their outstanding vocals, upbeat nature and friendly personalities were just the cherry on top of the cake! We can’t recommend this band enough for other couples wanting to dance the night away and impress their guests with incredible live music! You won’t be disappointed! "

"Tommy & Sons played our August 2022 wedding and were incredible. Guests all commented afterwards how awesome they were and how they got the dancefloor going big time! Jono and the band were so flexible with requests, and for giving the Bride & Groom such an incredible evening - even letting the Bride have a quick singalong. Thanks so much, gents - cannot recommend this band highly enough. They will not disappoint!"

"Tommy & Sons were absolutely brilliant. We hired them for our wedding as we wanted the folk style music and they delivered and then some. Our first dance was amazing, and hats off to them for learning it as it was a very niche song that we've only found available on Youtube, they absolutely nailed it. Not only did they deliver exceptional performances, which were commented on over and over by the guests, they were also a really nice bunch of lads. At one point after set up, our 2 1/2 year old daughter decided she wanted to have a go on the drums and they were so accommodating of her. If you're in 2 minds as to whether to book them, just do it, you will not be disappointed"

"They were absolutely incredible. The quality of the performance was every bit as good (if not better than) the videos on the website, but far more importantly was how amazing they were as people. The guys were all wonderful to have at the wedding - fun, professional and able to read the crowd like only the best bands can. We had a full dance floor all night (with the exception of a couple of tracks dancing in the rain, fully supported by the band themselves!) We cannot recommend them enough!"

"The Tommy Guns exceeded our expectations in both the run up and performance at our recent wedding and we have had consistent feedback from guests that they are the best wedding / event band that they had seen.

We hired the four piece both for the day during canapés and also for the evening entertainment. We opted to not contribute to choosing the set list and the guys did not disappoint. They read the room perfectly and the dance floor was literally bursting at the seems during every one of their sets.

Additionally, they went above and beyond in providing the music for the first dance and were happy to run and manage the music for a later ‘surprise’ dance routine performed by the bride and her father.

They were also so accommodating in agreeing to perform a number with the father-of-the-bride, a surprise for everyone and a real highlight of the day.

We can’t thank The Tommy Guns enough for their calm, confident and relaxed approach to the day, for accommodating all the personal touches and surprises and most importantly for being phenomenally talented musicians and keeping everyone dancing and singing at the top of their lungs ALL night. We can’t recommend them enough and are literally looking for an excuse for an event to hire them back again!

Their set list was perfect and they really got the party started. Not only fantastic musicians and entertainers that know how to get the crowd going, but also a genuinely nice bunch of lads that went out of their way to ensure we had the best night, even letting some of our guests join them on stage to sing.

They were incredible and everyone loved them. We could not thank them enough. They played our first dance song exceptionally well and they threw in a couple of Radiohead songs at the grooms request which we greatly appreciated. Thank you guys so much.

"Tommy & Sons were an excellent band choice for a client's summer party hosted at the Secret River Garden in Twickenham.
As a new venue, I had some slight reservations about many aspects of the planning but booking this band, Tommy & Sons was not one of them!
The guys were super polite, energetic, personable & friendly mingling (and singing too) with guests.
Getting this particular client up and off their feet was a great achievement in itself!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
Thank you for everything Hireaband - you made the booking process so easy and smooth.
Best wishes,

Tommy & Sons were outstanding! They were playing my dad’s wake for us which could have been a sombre affair but they got the place bouncing and the dance floor filled straight away. They were even willing to do a couple of non playlist songs for us that everyone loved. Everyone in attendance agreed that Tommy & Sons turned it into the send off he would have wanted. Thanks again

"Hireaband were so helpful from the start to finish and helped create the final product of a great evening with another thanks to Tommy & Sons.
All lads were great fun and kept the party going throughout the evening. All attendees of the work party were up dancing and the band made it a really enjoyable evening for all ages and took into consideration everyone's preference of music! They were flexible with songs and were willing to take requests and even let us have a go at singing ( which maybe wasn't the best idea). They had an incredible presence and created a great atmosphere for the party.
This is the third time I have been to a party with Tommy & Sons and I would recommend them numerous times. In fact colleagues have asked for their details.

Thanks again so much for all your help - special thanks to Irving who made the process super easy and a really great experience. "

"From start to finish dealing with Irving and then the band themselves the whole process has been faultless. I dealt with a lot of suppliers and the band and the Hireaband office were by far one of the best. Not only completely flexible but also 100% reliable remembering everything we discussed before the day. Most importantly the band were absolutely amazing, they had the dance floor filled the whole time and everyone said they'd never seen a dance floor so filled especially so early on in the evening. Them learning our first dance turned out to be the most special and memorable part of the day for me, as everyone got up on the dance floor singing and dancing along. They also remained chilled and happy when everyone was drunk and decided they could sing haha. It made my day and I would recommend them to anyone, everyone said best entertainment they've seen at weddings and so proud they were at ours. It was a real shame the venue wouldn't allow the acoustic set to use an amp but they worked with it and were great. Literally can't thank you all enough."
