Andy was excellent. He arrived promptly, set up with no issues and then performed well throughout. He was responsive in the run up, discuses requests before hand and made the process very simple. I whole heartedly recommend him.

We booked Run for Cover for our wedding in January and can say they were fantastic! The booking process was super easy and they were very responsive and happy to arrange phone calls to answer any questions we had. They went above and beyond by learning several of our special requests and seemed to appeal to all of our guests (young and old) with the variety of music. Many of our guests commented on how great they sounded. We would 100% recommend them and hope to book them again for any other events in the future! Thank you for helping to make our day so special and most of all FUN!

We organised the band for my mum's surprise 60th Birthday. The band were easy to liaise with and made all of the needed arrangements as easy as possible. On the night itself the band were fantastic, my mum absolutely loved it and they were really good at involving her during the sets as well. Abba are one of my mums favourites and she was in her element dancing along to all of the songs! All of our guests commented how good they were and we would highly recommend using them in the future!

We were very happy with the ease of communication with Jonny and his willingness to change the day and time to suit our changing needs. He was prompt, respectful and played a good set that entertained old (80) and young (10) alike. He made a special occasion out of difficult restricted pandemic circumstances. Five stars.

"Lilac, Remko and her band were absolutely amazing!! What a terrific night , we did a bit of barn dancing (great fun) and then some singing and dancing along with some of the brilliant crowd pleaser songs. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them for a barn dance party. They arrived early and set up and got organised, I had previously agreed the set list with Lilac who was most helpful and very flexible. 10/10 all round I'd say . Well done team very best wishes Sally"

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.
