Booked for Wedding

Absolutely incredible band, do not hesitate to book! The whole booking process, song selection etc was seamless, correspondence with the band manager Rhona was stress free due to the quick responses. We were kept 'in the loop' the entire time. The first song, which they learned specially, was perfect - couldn't have gone any better! The band turned up on time, set up workout fuss and couldn't have been more accommodating. They were loved by all!! I would not hesitate to book the guys again :)

Booked for Anniversary

Ed and Oliviyia were just fabulous. We enjoyed every song and actually wished we'd booked them for the whole evening. So many of our guests said how much they enjoyed their sets. Can thoroughly recommend them. Don't hesitate, book them and you definitely won't be disappointed.

Booked for Private party

Fantastic band. We had Oliver and his band play in our garden party and they were simply fantastic. Played to right music for the crowd, were extremely approachable and enjoyed mixing and chatting with the guest. Will be having these guys play again next summer.

Booked for Wedding

We are so pleased to have booked the band Alive for our wedding, they put on an absolutely amazing performance on the night, they were brilliant! Everyone had nothing but great things to say about them and I've never seen a dance floor at a wedding so packed and full of energy, we had such a blast. These guys are awesome and I can't recommend them enough.

Booked for Wedding

"Booked the Black Marcs for my wedding on Friday 2nd, and they were fantastic. They included a DJ set and played two 45 minute sets. They had everyone on the dance floor from the beginning and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music they sang, and they sounded absolutely amazing. Following their live sets they DJ'd for the last hour and took every request they could. Cannot highly recommend another live band for an event, and following this any functions that we may have in the future would recommend this band. They are second to none, thank you so much for a wonderful evening."

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.

• 2 bookings

The Herron Brothers are different, there is zero cheese but plenty of fun and entertainment. We play songs that we love, and the repertoire we've put here is just the tip of the iceberg (feel free to ask us for the whole list of songs). As there are just two of us, it's an organic affair, and we fully encourage sing-alongs or early dancing! You'll love to hear the harmonies from real brothers, and you'll be surprised about the guitar solos that can come out of an acoustic guitar!

About supplier

The Covers Brothers are real-life brothers, let's get that out of the way! We've been playing together in some form or another since we were kids, and have performed at over 500 events, such as weddings, birthdays, and, er bookshop openings!
