We had such an incredible experience before, during and after our interactions with Herding Katz.
Gary was always so efficient with communicating with me, gave advice on how the evening should run to get the most out of our booking and was always so pleasant and lovely to converse with.
Last night they played at my 30th and were unreal! I’ve had so many of my guests say how great they were. They brought the place to life! The playlist was personalised and they even changed words in the song to make me feel special for my birthday.
We will absolutely be recommending them to everyone we know.

I recently had the pleasure of having Herding Katz play at my 40th birthday celebration, and they absolutely MADE the night!
From start to finish, the band was nothing short of amazing. Their song list was spot on, with something for everyone, and they had everyone up on the dancefloor all night long. The energy was electric, and their ability to engage with the guests really set the tone for the evening. They even had a couple of us up on stage, creating an unforgettable experience for us.
A special shout out to Gary - he was fantastic to work with. Easy-goijg, accommodating and incredible professional, he was there for whatever we needed, without ever being pushy. It made organising the entertainment for the event a breeze.
If you're looking for a band that will elevate your event, look no further than Herding Katz. I honestly can't recommend them highly enough - you won't be disappointed. If you're thinking about booking a band (or upgrading from a Soloist like I did), DO IT. You won't regret it!
Thanks guys, an absolute pleasure and will have you back again.

Gary and the boys from Herding Katz were fantastic and very easy to work with from the beginning right up to packing up after a great show,
The dance floor was packed all night the boys could read a crowd, when the party was pumping they missed their break and kept on playing, everyone on the night commented “how good is the band”, they made the night one to remember
Thanks Herding Katz.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Herding Katz play at our wedding, and they were nothing short of amazing! From the moment we engaged with them, they were insightful, helpful, and incredibly reassuring. They guided us through the entire process with such ease and professionalism. One of the highlights was their willingness to learn a new song at our request, and they absolutely nailed it! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how phenomenal the band was throughout the night. If you’re looking for an unforgettable musical experience, Herding Katz is the band to go with! Thanks guys! More...

Where do I even start with the guys from Herding Katz! A benefit night was organised for a little 13 year old local redhead girl fighting leukaemia at NEX Newcastle in June, not only did the Herding Katz put on an AMAZING performance , they also went above and beyond to ensure the night was a success, from promoting the event, to seeking raffle prizes and donations for the night. The night wouldn’t have been what it was without this amazing band. I couldn’t recommend these guys enough for your next event. Some of the best people you’ll come across 🩷🩷🩷🩷 #teamemma More...

On the party day/night they were amazing not only with the challenging situation they had to work but with the
crowd. Loved the way they included the party goers to express themselves 😂
Music was exceptional, everyone had such a great night.. So many compliments for the band!
Thank you again and I look forward to working with you in the near future!

We cannot recommend Herding Katz highly enough. Highly professional and reliable. They delivered 3 high powered sets of songs we asked for. Had our guests up and dancing from the start. Steve is an amazing guitarist but the whole band is just amazing. We cannot recommend these guys enough. We will be booking Herding Katz again. More...

The band turned up with so much equipment, the set up was incredible! The band was super interactive and had all our guests not only up and dancing but on the stage singing and playing with the band! We absolutely loved the energy and all our guests said how amazing they were! I would highly recommend for any occasion and we will be booking with herding kats again!!

Wow! One week on and I am still revelling in memories from my 50th birthday party with Herding Katz performing! They were AWEOME!
!! I am honestly trying to think of a reason to host another party soon, just to get them to play again. All my guests raved about the band, songs played and how great it was that they were so engaging of the crowd. Friends are already planning on booking them for their parties in the future.
Gary was so professional and friendly from first contact. We chatted about music genres and favourite bands, and straight away I knew they were exactly the band I was looking for. Good old pub sing-a-longs and rock classics from my youth. The band are a friendly group of guys who obviously enjoy music and performing. They had my young kids, party guests, myself, my hubby all up on stage at one time or another singing along or playing an instrument. No pressure, just fun!
I seriously had the best birthday ever dancing, singing and partying while the band played. I can not emphasis how much fun Herding Katz were and how awesome the night was! So many great memories. I can’t thank these guys enough for making my party the huge success it was. Can’t wait to see you guys again and rock on!
Thanks guys so much for the most amazing night of music and partying! I would be happy to recommend Herding Katz to anyone that was considering booking them. Do yourself a favour, you will have the time of your life!
