Testimonials

“We had The Wilde Ones at our wedding booked through Jonny Ross and they were incredible! They played a brilliant set with the perfect mix between old and new to get everyone on the dance floor. We also had the Sax and DJ package for later on in the evening which also went down brilliant and added a nice addition. All the band members we're very professional and relaxed, happy to take requests and even let some people use the mic!

Re dealing with Jonny Ross Music it was very easy, communication was good throughout and would thoroughly recommend!

Overall they made our day and couldn't fault them in anyway!!”

“Just wanted to send a big thank you to The Wilde Ones for performing at our wedding on the 13th April. They were fantastic and along with the sax and DJ package had everyone not only on the dance floor but even handed over the mic for one of our guests to take to the stage with them and another guest having a go on the sax!

Would 100% recommend to anyone they were amazing, thank you!”
