Testimonials
We’d really love to have them back again and couldn’t recommend highly enough!
Jess S booked The Hot Club Ramblers for their event
“We’ve seen the band quite a few times in Bristol so were really keen to book them for a swing dance event with 90 dancers. Needless to say, they were awesome. They’re a fantastic band with hugely talented musicians who catered for a range of speeds for Lindy Hop, Bal, Blues, and Shag. We’d really love to have them back again and couldn’t recommend highly enough!”
Highly recommended!
