THE COVERS Profile

For nearly a decade The Covers have been performing live pop and rock shows in a wide variety of settings: from top 5 UK wedding venues to the Emirates stadium and on to the French Alps! Wherever the band play audiences are impressed by the musical skills and level of professionalism from a group still bursting with excitement for performance.

The mixture of authentic covers are sure to keep the dance floor filled throughout the evening. In addition the band are able to perform a choice acoustic set for that chilled early-evening vibe.

Whatever the setting, if you’re looking for a live band to give your guests a night to remember, The Covers are just what you’re looking for......the video and audio says it all!

Quote mark The band were fantastic and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. We're so pleased we decided to book The Covers and not settle for a DJ! Everyone, young and old, was up dancing all night. Everyone is still raving about how brilliant the band were and there was a huge amount of air guitar going on too. We had the most fantastic wedding day and finishing off with a few hours dancing to the Cover Ups was just the perfect way to end the day. I wish we could do it all again! I simply can't say enough good things about them. Next time we are planning a big party we will certainly consider booking them again. The service provided by Gigz Mangement was second to none. There was nothing that could have been done better. Everything was 5*. Quote mark

what previous clients say

Quote mark I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the rest of the band for making the evening of our wedding go with such a bang! Everyone has commented on how much they loved the music and I never imagined the dance floor would be so packed for the whole night – we could hardly walk the next day! We are so glad we chose you guys and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to others – thanks again and we wish you all the best in the future Quote mark
Kate and Andy Gibson // The Tythe Barn, Bicester // 13 August 2011
Quote mark Its a big deal getting the right band for your wedding day – they need to be versatile, have a great repertoire and obviously good enough musicians to get everybody up and dancing. The Covers were phenomenal – from the very first song to the last the dance floor was packed and it must have done the band’s ego no harm to have 130 people begging them to play ‘just a few more, please!!!’. I cannot sing their praises high enough. Quote mark
Kim and Simon Freeman // Barnsley House, Cotswolds // 16 July 2011
Quote mark We really felt that getting the entertainment right was key to the enjoyment of our special day, and couldn’t believe how right we got it with you guys. We were so impressed with the amazing standard and level of professionalism you showed – your music really was incredible! Thank you for making our wedding such an amazing celebration Quote mark
Natalie and Mark Cardwell // Surrey // 4 June 2011
Quote mark The Covers were excellent! The dance floor was never empty, we have had so many comments from guests saying how great the Covers were, we would recommend them to anyone that was looking to hire a band. Our lasting memory of the night was defiantly when the Cover Ups played Kings of Leon, Sex On Fire, everyone was on the dance floor going wild! My thanks also goes to you and Gigz Management for organising the Covers for our wedding, we really appreciate you making this a stress free part of our wedding preparations.Once again many thanks Quote mark
Matthew and Abigail Cerrone // The Tythe Barn, Bicester, Oxon // 10 October 2009
Quote mark The feedback from my salesforce was nothing short of outstanding. It was a bigger set list, bigger stage, louder sound system and Lights thrown in too.I thought it was magnificent. The staff here were over the moon with the whole night
