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!
