The Houndogs are quite simply one of the best Rock and Roll bands in the UK. The band was formed by the three Wilson brothers 10 years ago, and since then they have built up a wide reputation for their exhilarating live performances.

The wild energy of their shows has to be seen to be believed and includes members of the band jumping off the drum kit, standing on the double bass and even setting fire to the cymbals!

The band have a huge following for their public performances in bars, clubs and festivals, but are also a popular choice for wedding receptions, birthday parties and corporate events.

Due to the popularity of this band, it is recommended that you book well in advance!

Feedback:

David, just wanted to say the Houndog boys were great – we had so many fab comments from guests.

Antonia Scott - William Cecil Hotel, Stamford - 18 Dec 2011

David, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and the houndogs for a fantastic performance at our wedding. 

I cannot tell you how much we and our guests enjoyed the band, the lads were really friendly and put on an awesome show. We have had no end of texts and comments praising the band whilst we have been away. One guest who really likes his music stated that they are the best band he has ever seen! I also really like my music and I think he might be right!

Laura and I have been working on a legitimate excuse to book the band again...

Many Thanks

Liam & Laura Dighton - Wedding - 11 Nov 2011

I just wanted to email to say a massive thank you to Jill and the band for making my party so amazing on Saturday. They were absolutely fantastic and were a real hit with everyone at the party. I think they will most definitely be getting some more bookings as a result. Thanks again.

Tess Jane-Merrington - Private Party - 31 Oct 2011

 We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed you at our wedding - you were awesome! Our guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed your band.

Liam and Laura Dighton - 28 Oct 2011

Dear Robert, David and Ian (The Houndogs), thank you so much for the fantastic show you put on for our special day, you sounded and looked amazing and everyone has commented on how incredible your set was. Kind regards,
