We seem to be a favourite, with many couples, as a weddings function band. To get your dancing going, after the wedding meal, most couples opt for a kick-ass band playing all the regular pop/rock/dance covers; with The Iron Boot Scrapers you have that, but with a little more individuality than the regular band that slavishly follows the exact moves of the original hit tunes.
Check out our videos, on our videos page, for the evidence.

Just a wee note to say thanks very much for playing at Winterfest this year. We had a great time and really enjoyed your performance. The day raised around £1,500..

You guys are AMAZING!!!!!! Seeing you perform at my sister's wedding last night, in Ilfracombe, was a highlight of what was an already perfect day and we all had the time of our lives; you had the entire wedding party up on their feet and many of the girls went home with black soles from taking off their heels so they could dance! Everyone commented on how great you were, how it was the best wedding they had ever been to/best band they'd seen at a wedding and how well your quirky style fitted in with the venue and the relaxed, but fun, atmosphere of Jane and Perry's wedding. Really, really great job, thanks for coming all the way... love the hats...sorry you had to give them up for the majority of the night!
