Lord Rochester embrace the simplicity of sound and song using the maraca powered shuffle of artists such as Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and Jimmy Reed to create stripped back, rhythm driven, rock and roll.

Scotland’s best sounding (and best looking) rock and roll show have toured Japan, Australia (twice!) and Mexico, and played all over Europe and the UK. They have toured their native Scotland from the Borders to Aberdeenshire and from the Central Belt to the Highlands and not forgetting the Shetland Islands. Always entertaining and forever stylish, the band can bewitch an audience, large or small. Fundamentally, Lord Rochester is one of the easiest bands to put on: they turn up on time, have a very short sound-check, have the best looking guitars and are decked out in tartan.

Be it high profile music festivals or small intimate shows, the effect is the same; always entertaining and stylish, the trio (guitar, bass, spartan drum set and three voices) bewitch the audience, large or small.

Since they first got together in 2008 they have released seven vinyl singles (five of which are EP’s) and two CDs. In July 2025 Lord Rochester release their vinyl long player, ‘Mess Around’. Lord Rochester have also performed in session for the BBC, recorded at the famous Perrotti Studios in Gijon, Spain and provide the theme music for the ’Vic Galloway Show’ on BBC Radio Scotland.

BOOK THE BAND!

In a live setting the Lord Rochester trio require very little from the venue. One 3 pin 13 amp socket, three square yards of space and a reasonable supply of oxygen. They use two amps, two guitars, two maracas and one drum kit. Most importantly everybody sings and they do not have to use a PA.
