What happens when you need to book a cover band exactly? That’s a pretty good question. A cover band (Or covers band – Plural) is a group of musicians that perform live music by other artists. A live covers band will NOT perform songs written by themselves. Said band will perform music of a specific genre (in our case Indie Rock) or from a specific decade. A cover band will not generally dress up to look like the bands they are reproducing the music by. (‘Punch The Air‘ will perform for you in our own smart uniform though). This is different to a tribute band who will generally perform live music by one specific artist and dress up to look like the band as well. Another name for our type of band is a function band, wedding band or party band. Contact band leader / frontman Andy Starkey to check on a price and availability for your party.

Why do you need to book a UK cover band for your party then? If you’re looking to host a party with live music then a covers live band will be ideal for you.

When not to hire a cover band
If you and your friends and family really aren’t into live rock / pop music and you prefer dance music then you really will be better off NOT booking a band. You may want to consider a DJ instead to spin all your favourite tunes.
