It’s not what we do but what people say about us that is so important. Even after all these years it’s still a pleasure to have been perceived to have made an event. If you don’t take our word for it then read on to see what clients have said about Dave Clarke. DJ reviews West Midlands says it all…
“If you are looking to book a DJ, Dave is an absolute legend. He was exceptionally friendly, professional and responded quickly to all of our questions and requests, and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble.

We found more than perfection with Dave Clarke and would highly recommend!” Shane & Roks Groarke (Wedding at The Cube, Birmingham)

Jenny & Richard Lewis-Hood (Wedding at Nuthurst Grange)
“The Rock with Laughter ‘Backstage’ VIP Party entertains over 500 people per night with the post-show entertainment forming a vital element, so you can imagine how important it is to get it right. Dave Clarke was our host for two years running, providing the entertaining ‘glue’ that held the whole party together! Not only is he a talented performer, with a witty turn of phrase and excellent judgement on what people actually want, he also has a great commercial sense of awareness, promoting the Rock with Laughter brand with skill, dexterity and considerable aplomb. It’s not an easy gig – entertaining a large group of people who have just sat through over three hours of top class performances from the likes of Chris de Burgh, Jack Dee, Lenny Henry, Jasper Carrott, Beverley Knight, the Sugababes, Alesha Dixon, Peter Andre, Jimmy Carr………….. so that’s why we called on Dave Clarke; experience, personality, reliability and stamina! A class act, I think everyone would agree.”
Ivor Mason (In The Black Events) [RWL Backstage Party Organisers]
“Thank you so much for such an amazing night! I have never been to a wedding where everyone danced all night – and all our guests have since text/e-mailed/called to say how incredible the music was!!”
Rachael & Tom Oliver (Private marquee Wedding)
“The music was AMAZING! Definately the best wedding I’ve been too, hehe. I can’t believe how much I danced – I never dance! I don’t think I spent any time at all going around the room chatting to all our guests, because I was too busy having the most amazing time dancing away, which is definitely down to your expertise! You were, without doubt, the best part of our wedding! All our friends and family have commented to us about how brilliant the music was, and what a great atmosphere there was, so thank you.”
Mandy & Darren Mathieson (Wedding at Wroxall Abbey)
“Dave really is one of “the” voices of Birmingham. A true pro, who always looks to go the extra mile, he is a great front man at any event. Dave’s a star behind the mic but is also brilliant in front of a crowd, and I’d hugely recomend him to anyone looking to take their event to a whole new level.”
Dave Hodgson (1971 – 2012) (Marketing Director), Marketing Birmingham

Mark and Katie Portou (Wedding at Blakelands Country House)
“You were a star! Everyone has been raving about the party and you were a big part of it so thank you both again. My only complaint is that, when I finally went to bed, my feet were aching so much from so many hours of dancing!!! Every time I felt like a rest another brilliant song would come on and keep me on the dance floor!! The penultimate Christmas song followed by Queen to wrap things up made for a fab and memorable ending to the evening. We will definitely be recommending you to everyone!!”

The time you spent with us before the day was a real personal touch with great attention to detail. On the night… well you got it spot on! We’ve had so many comments on the music and the delivery of it. We want to do it all over again so we’re already planning our anniversary bash”
