What is included?
Our standard pricing includes everything you need for a great event, including over 2 hours of live music, a free DJ playlist service when not performing, a powerful p.a. for up to 1000 people indoors or 600 people outdoors, and a dynamic computer controlled stage lighting system with haze/smoke machines for a great party atmosphere. We have good communication and a professional proactive approach to planning and co-ordinating events. Our standard service includes on-line meetings to go through all the details of the event with the organiser.
Here is our standard stage set-up. Everything you see here is included as standard apart from the stage, which in this case is approximately 5m wide x 4m deep.
What if the venue has a noise limit?
Many venues have a noise limit for the benefit of the local community and other residents and this will usually prevent the use of an acoustic drum kit. But don't worry, we have this covered. Our standard pricing includes for the use of a top of the range electronic drum kit and a 'silent stage' system so we are able to play at any volume required by the venue. This set up gives a great live sound at any volume and is actually a good option for large venues as well. All of the live videos on this website were recorded using this silent stage set up.
Where does the band perform?
We are based in the East Midlands and perform throughout the UK.

Thank you so much for what can only be described as the performance of our company's history! We've been booking bands for various events we have for our people at Thrive Tribe, and you were a country mile ahead of any band we've ever had the pleasure of working with! You're simply incredible! Thank you for closing our ThriveFest event this year in such a phenomenal way! 🔥
Rated ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️Wow.... What an amazing band!!Booked for our wedding on the 28th Dec 23. David’s communication was excellent working with us for the perfect playlist. And even learned a new song for us. They had everyone dancing from start to finish, safe to say our feet were sore by the end of the night! The band even came with their own photographer and sent over the photos and videos of the evening. Would highly recommend, we and our guests had a great night. Can't thank you enough, Twist of Rock. Loved you guysJo & Chris 🤙
