Following his mysterious disappearance in the 1940s, legendary Love Rats bandleader Tommy was presumed to be history. Many years later, a team of scientists found him inside an abandoned walk-in freezer! He had been ‘on deep ice’ for over 60 years! Now thawed, he and his Love Rats bring that authentic Jump Jive beat to modern hits like “Uptown Funk”, “White Wedding”, “I Got A Feelin'” and “Don't Cha”. All are delivered in their inimitable rocking style.
With a huge back catalogue of classic Swing, Jump Jive and Rock ’n’ Roll tunes also available, the Love Rats are the real deal! They authentically capture the exuberant spirit of Jump Jive and blend it with a modern jukebox of family favourites. They are guaranteed to get your joint jumpin'!
Tommy has over 15 years experience as a singer and performer. His charismatic style has seen him perform at major venues (Royal Albert Hall, Queens Hall Trinidad), in world-renowned musicals (Carnival Messiah) and in front of the most prestigious audiences (HRH The Queen). His highly versatile and multi talented backing band feature some of the most talented and well-respected musicians in the North West.
The band are self-contained with their own PA and are happy to play pre-recorded music before and between their sets as required.

Excellent communication during all phases of the transaction; both from Warble and Tommy at The Love Rats. On the night, the band were punctual, very polite, and professional. We received many complimentary comments about The Love Rats from our guests. They transformed a good party into a great party. Quote from the owner of the restaurant - "I wish I could afford to hire them every weekend".
Charles Coade
Brilliant. Everyone commented how good they were. Would hire again no question.

The Love Rats were superb! We had a fantastic party, thanks largely to them. They are great musicians, and they really made the party go with a swing! (Sorry!) Fabulous! They were all I hoped for.

Hi Jennie, We had such an amazing day at our wedding and I would happily provide some feedback. All the queries and questions I had prior to the day were answered in a timely manner and the booking process was a simple procedure. On the night The Love Rats put on a brilliant performance, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and they got the dance floor swinging. I had a number of comments from guests at the wedding on how good the band were and where we got them from. They were part of the evening which I could not fault at all. Fantastic performance, brilliant singer and the band were outstanding.
