Booked for Wedding

We booked Run for Cover for our wedding on 24/06/23 and they were absolutlety ace! From day one of the booking right through to celebrating our special day, they were so accomodating and flexible which helped takes so much of the stress away from organising things. They helped rock the dance floor on the night and everyone had a blast. Would highly reccomend and wish them all the best. Thanks again Ben for all your help!

Booked for Birthday party

My partner Becky organised Pipley Dance and Ceilidh Band for my surprise 30th birthday party and I cannot recommend them highly enough! We had such a brilliant time and the band really made it the perfect celebration. As a group we were mixed abilities and ages, but everyone got involved at some point and we have had so many wonderful comments from guests about how much they enjoyed it! Rachel and the band were so friendly and such talented musicians. Their caller is excellent, offering really clear instructions and was great at making people feel welcome. I have been to a number of ceilidhs over the last few years and I definitely think that they are the best band I have seen. I just hope that we can go to see them again soon! Thanks to the band for being part of the celebration and making so many wonderful memories. Rob

Booked for Birthday party

"What a great performance from this band not only was Ollie great as lead vocalist both the Bassist and Drummer were also awesome. They interacted great with the crowd and everyone commented on how good they were. They kept the dance floor loaded and knew exactly what to play at right time. I’d recommend Ollie and the boys without hesitation and I will be going to see them when they next gig!"

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

Playing a complete mixture of music is the best way to make sure that everyone gets to hear something they really like. We don't work to a fixed setlist, but prefer to watch our audience and chop/change our music selections to suit. That way we can make sure the dance floor is always full. Our repertoire is huge and takes in all musical styles/genres such as Swing, Rock 'n' Roll, Motown & Soul, 60's, 70' Disco, 80's, Indie/Rock and of course, current chart hits too.
