Debbie Bowler, Wedding Event, Staffordshire
Fantastic Band, thank you for your help.
Colin and Kath Moody (on their summer ball)
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all. What wonderful people you are. It was a superb and memorable evening thanks to you guys.
Dominic & Sarah Bovis (on their wedding day)
We, of course, cannot thank you enough. You and the band were largely responsible for making our day the great success it was and we will remember it forever.
Suzanne Shufflebotham (Northwest Fine Foods Limited)
You and the band were fantastic and I received nothing but praise from the guests. It certainly wouldn’t have been the same without you there.
Ian Taylor (Managing Director, Team Spirit Event Management Limited)
Absolutely fabulous. Jennie has an amazing voice fronting an outstanding band... I would recommend them to anyone.
Jane Williams (on her daughter’s wedding day)
It was a most wonderful day… and you and the band, as well as giving a great performance, set such a fabulous, relaxed party atmosphere.
In addition to Rough Hill, if you are looking for something special for your wedding, corporate event or party, Jennie (Lead Vocals and highly accomplished Pianist) can bring that special musical touch to your day. Jennie is available either solo (Vocals and Keyboards), in a duo (add Saxophone or Guitar), or, trio (add Saxophone and Guitar) format.
Special packages may be arranged if you would like Jennie to perform earlier in the day at your event and then with the Rough Hill Band for evening’s entertainment.
