BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!! Although they are an amazing groove and funk band they pulled a load of rock songs out of the bag. They can shred with the best of them. Made my 21st the best.
Mark Lewis Director of Vicky Bespoke Clothing
Astonishing evening. High energy and such fun. Will be booking again for our next event.

Bill and Shirley Lewin
They really made our special day perfect. Great songs and playing. I only wish I had taken their offer to get up and do a song with them. Tracy's voice is out of this world

FAQs

What is the difference between a rock band and an all-round band?

A rock band is a music group that plays rock music, while an all-round band plays music from different genres, such as pop, rock, soul, funk and jazz. Below are some differences between the two:

Music style: A rock band focuses specifically on rock music, while an all-round band plays music from different genres and is usually intended for a broader audience.

Repertoire: A rock band often has a more limited repertoire, focused on rock songs, while an all-round band has a much broader repertoire and is able to play songs from different genres.

Target group: A rock band usually focuses on a specific target group, namely rock fans, while an all-round band appeals to a broader target group.

Sound: A rock band has a characteristic, harder sound, with a lot of guitar sound and drums, while an all-round band usually has a more rounded sound, focusing on different instruments and vocals.

Both band types have their own unique characteristics and can be suitable for different types of events, depending on the needs and type of audience expected.

How long does a live band play ?s

A standard performance consists of 3 sets of 45 minutes. This is spread over a period of 3 – 3.5 hours. Shorter performances are also possible. The maximum playing time of most live bands is 4 sets of 40 minutes. This can be spread over a period of 4 to 5 hours.

What happens during the bands breaks?

During the breaks, the band provides atmospheric music which they play over their sound system. The music is of course in line with the music played during the performance. Some bands come with a DJ, who will then provide the music. Of course you can also book a DJ for the breaks with all live bands.

What is a cover band?

A cover band is a music group that plays well-known songs originally recorded by other artists. Unlike original bands, which create and perform their own music, a cover band focuses on playing well-known music from different genres and eras. The goal of a cover band is to entertain the audience and let them enjoy well-known music by accurately playing these songs and sometimes also enhancing them with their own interpretations.

Cover bands can be hired for various types of events, including parties, festivals, corporate functions, weddings and other special occasions.

What songs do live bands play at weddings?

The bands have a repertoire of songs from which they play. They are often open to suggestions and request numbers. It is a good idea to indicate this well in advance of booking. On the evening itself, requested songs can be detrimental to the construction of the set and therefore the enjoyment of the guests. If a requested song is not in the repertoire, several bands are willing to rehearse 1 or 2 songs.

How long does it take to build the cover band?

The formation of bands takes approximately 45 minutes for 3 to 4 piece bands. For larger bands this takes 1 to 1.5 hours. We always adjust the amount of equipment to the group size. If the group is very large (more than 175 people), the setup time will also be longer.
