We pride ourselves on being versatile and flexible, assessing each client's requirements and deciding on the appropriate sound equipment, light and music to suit the event. We offer great sound quality through continual investment in state of the art digital equipment and use only top quality instruments.
The first sign of a good band is without doubt the variety of music in their repertoire. Our belief is that a good band should be able to give something to everyone in the room. With around 20 hours of music at our disposal, you can be sure The Rumours will have enough variety to keep everyone happy. Take a look at our set list and see for yourself.
Fifteen years of experience has taught us a lot. A quick scan over our reviews will tell you just how we put that experience to good use.
You'd expect any band worth their salt to sound and look great, but it's our commitment to you and your guests that we think sets us apart. The Rumours are one of those bands who in the past have overcome nearly every obstacle, bad weather, illness and on one occasion - evil sat nav - to get to our booking.
With The Rumours you get seven highly trained, experienced professional musicians. Twin guitars, tight vocal harmonies and a superb rhythm and horn section makes for a cracking band and a night to remember. Set this off with our stunning light show, and you will have a truly memorable experience.

The Rumours were fantastic! Had everyone up dancing all night. Hireaband were great to deal with. Everything was really smooth and communication was great.
We cannot recommend The Rumours enough, they were absolutely fantastic. We were drawn to the sound of the brass section of the band and whilst we were nervous because we had not had the opportunity to hear the band play live, we had absolutely nothing to worry about!!! The band had the dance floor filled the entire night and it was great song after great song. We are hoping that we get to see them again as soon as possible. Jack & Jenny
The Rumours played at our wedding at Ardgowan and they were absolutely incredible! They got a lot of mentions from the guests, saying how great they were. Thank you for a memorable night and hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!
From our first dance to our last, the band were absolutely incredible! Their transitions between songs were seamless, their set list was fantastic and they kept the dancefloor packed full all night. The atmosphere at our wedding reception was incredible thanks to this amazing band! We can't thank you enough.
We had such positive feedback from the band from our guests. They were amazing! Thank you.
The Rumours were epic! From the very first song, they kept the dance floor packed all night and their energy was fantastic! I would highly recommend them!
The Rumours were absolutely fantastic! Everyone was up dancing from the first song!
The Rumours were AMAZING. Everyone at the wedding commented on how great they were. I would definitely recommend. They were upbeat, entertaining and really got the partying going. The dance floor was full from start to end. Hope I get the chance to see them live again.
Absolutely fantastic band. Learnt a song we requested in the break and it went down a storm. Couldn’t have asked for better!!
Thank you so much.
Hireaband: First class service and communication from my first enquiry online. A special thanks to Julie who answered all my questions and her immediate correspondence.
Entertainment: What can I say! The band were just perfect all members interacted with my guests and children. All requests from myself and husband were spot on! We had the best night and I couldn’t have done it without the communication we received from the band prior to the night! Wish I could do it all over again! Dougie thank you and I’m sorry I can't remember all names as I was buzzing from start to finish !! Recommend to all friends and family and hoping my daughter is now booking for her wedding.
Hireaband were very efficient and helpful in coordinating the booking of our band and it was great to have everything in one place for us, as we weren't too sure what we were looking for in a band in the initial stages of booking.
Our band were incredible on our wedding day! Everyone was up dancing all night, the talent within the group was amazing and they were so friendly and helpful in the run-up to our day and on the night itself. I would unreservedly recommend them to everyone - fantastic and really made our night one to remember. Thank you!
We just wanted to take a couple of minutes to say WOW. The Rumours were absolutely amazing on Friday night and we had the best time with them! From our first dance song (which was perfect) to the big finish every single one of our guests had a ball and we cannot thank you enough.
Every person we have spoken too has commented on how amazing they were, the dance floor was not empty at any point and the band just kept on going which was amazing.
Thanks again,
Isla and Tom
Band were faultless. Made great use of the brass section. Great vocals from all three players. Made a great day even better at night. Would recommend this band every time. Best wedding band I’ve seen.
Rumours did not disappoint! This band added songs to the setlist, played their hearts out. Dance floor was full all night. Everyone raved about them for days!

The Rumours were absolutely fabulous! Extremely professional and had the whole place rocking with a great selection of tracks! All our guests loved them.
Nicola and myself could not be more happy with the band and their performance on
our special day. They played our first song exactly how we liked it and filled
the dance floor from start to finish, with a variety of music to suit all ages.
We even had guests who were staying at the hotel, come down to see who was
playing this great music and some even joined the party. The staff loved the
music as it reverberated around the castle, which in turn had happy faces all
round. Thank you again and I would have no problem recommending this band to
anyone looking for great entertainment from fantastic musicians. Worth every
penny.
Great music, great voices, great guitar playing! The Rumours are guaranteed crowd pleasers. Just what Jumping Jaks need.
We have a younger crowd which The Rumours had no problem with. Their choice of music completely suited their crowd. We WILL be booking them again soon!
The Rumours were a lovely group of young people and went out of their way to be nice to our guests. The volume was perfect; we could all hear ourselves speak without shouting. Excellent choice of music. Everyone commented on how good the band was the best they had heard in a long time.
We would like to thank you for the excellent entertainment you provided at our wedding, you truly are a fantastic band! Every guest has spoken about how wonderful you were and you really did have every guest on the dancefloor! You played a great selection of songs to cater for all our guests and were happy to play any requests. There were a few haha!!! A few friends are getting married over the next few years and we have highly recommended you as their band. Once again thank you, top class service from start to finish!
Thank you for your AMAZING performance at our wedding. I would/will recommend The Rumours for any wedding/function! All of our guests are still complementing our wedding band & saying how FAB they were!!!! Very professional & friendly which helped create our dream wedding.
Hi guys, we just wanted to say a huge, belated, thank you to you all for the amazing show you performed at our wedding! It really was an amazing night, even if we are so biased, but it was honestly made so good by your music. Everyone commented how good you were and we could not have asked for any more. All the very best for the future, thanks again!
Hi Nicola, We wanted to pass on such a good review for The Rumours they were fantastic!! Please pass on that we hope there were enough people dancing I kept coming back for more then going back after cooling down! They were amazing! Thank you so much and please pass on to them that we were so happy for their entertainment. Kind regards.
We were delighted with The Rumours playing at our wedding and we were asked loads of times who the band were, as guests were commenting that they were brilliant. The band were very professional throughout the evening and it was very apparent that they all get on well and work well together as they looked as if they enjoyed themselves as much as some of the guests. They even managed to give us a little memento by getting the whole band into the photo booth. We wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending them to anyone. We would never have known about them if it wasn't for the Hireaband showcase evening in the Carlton Hotel.
I would just like to say how absolutely amazing the band The Rumours was on Saturday night, they had everyone up dancing right from the start, my feet know that coz they are so sore. Also I would also like to really thank them for making a little boys night by playing Gang Nam style Alex was so happy I did not know a five and a half year old could dance like that, he made my grandson so happy as well by playing Mumford & Sons so he could dance with his auntie Niki. Thank you again I am sure people will be recommending the band in future.
The Rumours were outstanding: so many of our wedding guests said how much they enjoyed the band. They were extremely friendly and helpful on the day, and their performance was first-class. Hireaband were also extremely helpful, with useful advice and timely, welcome reminders. I'd strongly recommend both to anyone.
The Rumours were very tight, professional, polite and kind. Do not have enough good things to say about them, they were amazing!
The Rumours were fantastic, not only the quality of the music they played but the interaction with the guests. They suggested adding a ceilidh element, which everyone really enjoyed. Even though the lead singer had developed laryngitis, they were still amazing, so professional, polite and truly entertaining.
The band was excellent, many guests have commented on how good they were. Besides their obvious vocal and musical talents, they were very adaptable to the crowd.
All of the guests at the wedding commented on how good the band was and that the songs they did were excellent. The venue at our reception had a sound limiter, but due to the bands technical skills, this did not cause a problem. Everyone thought they sounded great.
The Rumours are a great band, we would definitely recommend them to our friends. Billy was great as he talked us through his plans for the evening, a great help. The vocals were fab, and a great range of music was played, even requests. Hireaband made it very easy for us to book the band. Thank you for such a great night, The Rumours helped make it memorable.
