Wedding at Neidpath Castle, Peebles
Guitarist, Solo Singer & Roadrunner - September 2021

“Roadrunner Band were outright stars of the evening. You were all brilliant and my few words of thanks are going to go nowhere near thanking you enough for making our party such a success…your playlist was spot on resulting in a crowded dance floor from start to finish. It doesn’t get better than that! Thank you too for carrying on with about six encores as ‘requested’ by the younger team! We did have a 93 year old who was on the dance floor from start to finish! The party went as well as we could ever have expected – and you guys were definitely the icing on the cake! Please thank them all on behalf of all of us.” ...continue reading

Blairgowrie, Perthshire
Roadrunner - September 2019

“We asked Roadrunner to perform at our wedding. James managed the process perfectly, discussing all matters well in advance, including band line up, first dance and their extensive playlist of ceilidh and contemporary music. On the day, well, the band provided the most impressive evening set! The dance floor was always packed and this is down to Roadrunner's engagement with their audience as well as their endless energy. I have seen many excellent wedding bands over the years, but Roadrunner are truly exceptional - a view shared by our guests!” ...continue reading
