“If you’re planning an event, the first thing you need to do is book Rocky Road Music. Honestly, they made everything seamless. From the site inspection ahead of the event, making sure there was never a lull in music on the day, the lighting looked amazing and booking the band through them was another thing off my list. They are absolute professionals and even supported my Mum with some personal voice overs during her speech. The day would not have been the same without them and I am so so grateful for everything they did!”

“Dan and the whole of the Rocky Road Team are fantastic at what they do. As a professional musician, I would 100% recommend booking them for all of your PA needs. When I'm on a gig and I know the Rocky Road Team are looking after the PA and Lighting, I'm going to have a better gig than when they're not there. Dan's professionalism in liaising with clients and making any event he's involved with go as smoothly as possible is invaluable. He often goes way above and beyond what any other Sound and Lighting company would with his vast industry knowledge and problem solving skills. If you need what Rocky Road can offer, then you'd be sensible to talk to Dan… If you don't need what they offer Dan will probably know someone who does, so talking to him first would also make sense.”

“I was so impressed by Rocky Road Music. Ria gave such excellent advice in the run-up to a big event we had, where we wanted guests to be able to dance at the end of a formal dinner. She was so helpful and took me through all the various options. On the night itself, Danny was super as our DJ. We had asked for the music not to be too loud because there had previously been negative comments elsewhere, and Danny kindly adapted accordingly, but in the end guests were enjoying it so much that they asked for the music to be turned up! It was just perfect for what we required. Danny and Ria showed such professionalism at all times and the guests really appreciated the super classic tunes Danny played. They enhanced our evening so much. I would recommend Rocky Road Music very highly to anyone looking for a quality music service. Many thanks to you both! Henry Dawe, Uppingham”

“I've worked with many sound engineers over the years and Dan is hands down the best. His audio and lighting equipment is state of the art and well maintained, and he'll always make you sound and look awesome. He brings a high degree of professionalism to every show, whether a major festival or an intimate folk venue and he's always calm under pressure. All that, and he's the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Can't recommend highly enough!”

— Jay Goldmark

“Highly recommend. Easy to book. Rocky Road communicated directly with venue so it was all organised for the start of the party without me having to do anything. Danny was great fun and created a great party atmosphere. Was flexible with song choices, especially after guests had drank a few proseccos!”

— Ruth Forryan

“Dan set up my old telecaster and has done it the world of good – it feels simultaneously like a new instrument but completely comfortable and familiar. Everyone at Rocky Road is almost unspeakably lovely, and they are the only place to go if you want great sound engineering or equipment repairs. Dan also plays a pretty mean harmonica when it’s called for.”

— Dave Bower

“I have worked with Rocky Road Music a number of times Danny and the team are 1st class, always have us sounding great and provide excellent equipment. Could not recommend highly enough and worth every penny!”

— Gerry Harkins

“I've used Rocky Road many times over the last few years for the gigs we promote, and Danny, Lee and Jock have always provided a first-class service. Not having to worry about the sound or lighting takes so much of the pressure off, and the litmus test is always, 'Is the artist happy?' which they invariably are. We have no hesitation in recommending them.”

— Mark Howson
