Rooster is a high-energy party band based in Blandford Forum, Dorset. The current band lineup has been playing together since 2015 and has extensive experience across hundreds of events.

Ranging from a 4-piece band all the way through to a show-stopping 10-piece band, they are ideal for any couples looking to create an unforgettable wedding ceremony or reception.

Every wedding Rooster plays is unique. Any couple who reaches out to the band will receive a personal consultation, allowing them to bring the couple's vision to life. The band is completely flexible, with an incredibly wide repertoire including music from the 50s right up to current pop hits. They are always happy to accommodate any special requests.
