Testimonials

Thank you so much for playing my party on Saturday, you guys were great and we had such an amazing time.

Will be recommending you all :-)

Emma x Emma; party July 2025
We just want to say a big thankyou to Rough Edge for an epic night of music on Saturday. The Bolton Arms, Leyburn May 2025
Thank-you again for the fantastic music - everyone thought you were brilliant. You made my night!! Helen - party in Harrogate 11/24
Great night last night thanks to Rough Edge. Already looking forward to seeing you again. Ripon Bowling Club, June 2024
Thanks Rough Edge for a fantastic night at Barkston Ash; it was a complete sell out! Absolutely brilliant. See you next year. Sue; party 11/23
Fantastic night, fantastic band! Tony; party 11/23
Rough Edge - the band that absolutely made the evening of our wedding. The music was incredible from start to finish. The band went above and beyond to make our evening special. They asked if I had any special requests that they could learn for the wedding and to their horror I asked if they could sing our family song - a Backstreet Boys classic! Even though it was so far away from their usual music, they learnt it and finished off their set with it. OMG it was insane! We cannot thank you enough - you made our evening so extra special xxx Kathryn & Callum wedding, Escrick, September 2023
My wife and I would like to say thank you to you and the other band members for a superb night's entertainment. You were brilliant and we couldn't have asked for better. We will be highly recommending you to others. Thanks again. Michelle & Bryan's wedding, Harrogate November 2019
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your band for helping make our party such an excellent fun evening. Everyone said they thought the band was brilliant. If we have another party I'll be straight on the phone!! Alison, 50th party, Topcliffe, July 2019
Rough Edge were fantastic. So many brilliant comments. Thank you for making it such a special party xxx Jenny, Bedale party, November 2018
My thanks to all the band for a wonderful performance last night. We thought you were great and so did our friends; such good comments from them all. We must do it again. David, party in Ripon, August 2018

Rough Edge - 'Stole the show'
Rough Edge came to the stage around 9:30pm and took the party to a new level. With upbeat classics and chart topping hits, they sent the crowd into a frenzy. Would highly recommend this band as they will always leave with a standing ovation!!! Many Thanks." Simon - Organiser of Tadfest.com
Thank you so much for Saturday night it was brilliant. We have had lots of people saying how much they enjoyed your music. Again a big thank you." Mick - charity event organiser 7/2017
Wow! What can I say? First time I heard these guys play I decided to book them for my wedding. They have just played at our wedding and were even better than I remembered.
Every-one commented on how good they were, and when I say every-one, I mean every-one. They bent over backwards to make sure the evening went just how we wanted it to.
They are amazing so if you are thinking of booking a group, don't look any further as you won't be disappointed! Janet, Ripon 29/7/17
Rough Edge was the icing on the cake for our birthday celebration. They were great, playing a fantastic playlist with real crowdpleasers. They played expertly but with true passion and feeling for the music. Highly recommended." William 12/8/2017
