What exactly will a Cover band do at your event?

You can rely on a Cover Band when you hire them to provide the big hits with many acts covering songs that span across all genres, including classic Rock, Metal, Pop, Indie, Funk and Disco. The whole point in a covers act is to recreate the songs that you know and love and many bands will include a selection of the songs they cover in their biography with set-lists often being tailored to suit the audiences needs as well. A live band can have so many advantages and can easily play in between the sets played by a DJ, for example. A group of professional musicians playing covers will put on a great show and bring an energy that will really get the crowd singing and dancing in union!

Mainly, a Cover Band will entertain your audience with a fantastic live show that will put the wow factor into celebrations and impress your guests, whatever their entertainment tastes may be

What event types are cover bands hired for?

Book a cover band for Wedding Entertainment:

• Wedding Ceremony Entertainment:     
  

If you’re looking for that something extra special for your wedding ceremony, then we would advise hiring a Cover band to play a romantic hit live! Imagine the sweet and enchanting ‘All of me’ by John Legend being played by an acoustic covers band as the guests are walking into the church or registry office? Or how about the stunning ‘Dream a little dream of me’ by Mama Cass being sung by a professional singer as the bride is waking down the aisle? A Cover Band can have the power to add a touch of professional class to any occasion!

• Wedding Drinks Reception Entertainment:

Once the wedding ceremony has taken place, then why not have a covers band play a selection of carefully chosen hits to enchant the wedding guests as they drink champagne and Buck Fizz and interact with one another? The wedding drink reception is the perfect time to hire a covers band and as the wedding photographer is taking pictures, the covers group can add a great atmosphere with a charming backdrop of famous music.

• Wedding Breakfast Entertainment:

So, the wedding guests are being welcomed into the main events hall to begin really celebrating the wedding. It’s at this point that you may want to book an entertainer to fill those gaps. One of the most effective way to do this is to hire a Covers Band! As the wedding guests make their way into the venue to join the newly wedded husband and wife, a covers band could be set up on stage playing something soft and gentle to get everybody relaxed before the wedding speeches!

• Wedding Evening Reception Entertainment:

What do family and friends want the most when attending the evening reception of a wedding? They all want some great live music to help them boogie the night away! A Covers Band can adapt to any style to please your needs. Whether you want to hire a bit of live Jazz, Rock, Pop, Soul, RnB, Rock 'n' Roll, Metal, Dance, or Latin, these professional musicians really can tailor their setlist to suit whatever you want. Who knows, the Cover Band may even require the services of some ‘backing singers’ to help them through the next song on stage…!

Book a COVER BAND for Party Entertainment

One of the great aspects of a Cover Band is that they can fit into essentially any event that you may have planned. If you would like to hire a band to play cover songs at your private party, then hearing a group of well known songs being blasted out loud and live can create brilliant sing-along memories for all of the audience! They bring a fantastic vibe to a party aimed at any age group whether it’s a child’s birthday, an 18th, a 50th and onwards!

What are the usual set formats and performance lengths for COVER BANDS?

A Cover Band can tailor their performance times to suit you and your event, however, on average a professional Cover Band will perform for two 45 minutes sets.

How much space will a cover band need at your event?

A Cover Band will need enough space to play comfortable as a 5 piece, which is the average amount of musicians in a covers group. You will need to provide space for a drummer, a bassist, a guitarist, a keyboardist and a singer. The average space needed for a stage is 4 meters wide and 3 meters deep.

What equipment and set up requirements do cover bands need?

As with most artists who sign up to Entertainersworldwide.com, a Cover Band will provide all of their own equipment. You may want to enquire if an artist needs a PA to amplify their sound, in which case we would advise to use our easy to use messaging service to find out. We do ask that each performer gets a backstage area in which they can prepare for the performance ahead. If your venue does not have a backstage area, then we kindly ask that you enquire with the venue to seek an alternative space in which the performer can comfortably get ready to entertain.
