THE HOUND DOGS Profile

"The Best Covers band In London"- Timeout. With high profile residencies at "The Roadhouse" in Covent Garden and the prestigious "Cafe De Paris" in Picadilly and with years of experience playing top level functions and weddings, The Hound Dogs are a young and vibrant four-piece who never fail to get the whole room dancing. With a vast catalogue of songs from rock 'n' roll right up to modern classics played with high energy and more balls than a game of billiards, expect to hear hits from bands like The Killers, The Kings of Leon and Kaiser Chiefs.
Smartly dressed, polite, punctual, reliable, and great musicians - The Hound Dogs are all you need to make your wedding or function run smoothly and with real sparkle.

We just wanted to drop you a line to say how outstanding and enjoyable Hound Dogs were on our wedding night. Their choice of music was perfect and brilliantly executed - really lively and had everyone up and dancing. I was throwing myself about the floor despite the wedding dress, and my husband was singing so much he was hoarse next morning! Not only that, they were punctual, professional and polite - a joy to work with. Many thanks again

what previous clients say

Now things have calmed down a bit after the wedding, we just wanted to just a belated massive thank you to the Hound Dogs for an amazing evening's entertainment at our wedding in August. Although we knew that you would be great after coming to watch you play at the Roadhouse, your set totally blew us away and surpassed what we were hoping for. We particularly loved your Elvis doubleheader played at our request - you certainly got everyone moving and shaking on the dancefloor! Quote mark

David & Gemma // London // 16 September 2011

Now I’m unfortunately back at my desk after a fantastic wedding and honeymoon, I just wanted to thank you guys again for the great sets and all round job you did at our wedding. A load of our guests have commented on how great they thought the band were and myself and Ali, as you could probably tell, had a superb time, so thanks very much. Quote mark

Martin and Ali Gilbert // Essex // 9 June 2010

Thank you so much for all your help on the 7th June. We had such a wonderful time and the best day. We are just a bit sad that is all goes so quickly! Also, we are sorry that we totally over ran all our timings and meant that you had a shorter period to play and without a break – sorry to put you through that and hope it wasn’t too much. We really appreciated you playing through…oh…..and everyone LOVED the first dance! It was a delight to have the Hound Dogs play at our wedding and hope you have a great summer. All the best!

Oli Neasham, (21st Birthday Party) // Oxford // 9 May 2010

I just wanted to say thank you for a great performance at our Wedding party, Vicky and I had a great time and could not have imagined it would be that good. Absolutely everyone thought you guys were excellent, I believe Danny has actually asked you about doing his wedding next year in Derby Quote mark

Chris and Vicky Jones // Stratford-upon-Avon // 10 January 2010

To The Hound Dogs - Just wanted to thank you for playing at Jonnie and Alice's wedding. The music you played was superb. Cover bands are ten to a penny, but your stuff was something else. Everybody said how good it was to hear a decent wedding band
