Booked for Birthday party

Run For Cover played for my 40th birthday party and they were absolutely amazing. Ben was lovely getting things organised before the event and they were all fantastic on the day. The music was brilliant and got everyone involved. We couldn't have asked for more, they made my party so fun and special and I would highly recommend them.

Booked for Birthday party

What an amazing night! The band were terrific and played all the tunes we requested. The 100 plus audience loved every minute and we had so many compliments about the quality of the music and the atmosphere they generated. They were also extremely friendly, even giving me a birthday card. Would highly recommend! Jim Smith

Booked for Wedding

Finding Oliver Sean through Poptop for our wedding help make the day so special. Easy booking process, great communications but most of all, what a talent; all our guests though they were fantastic. Absolutely recommend Oliver

Booked for Wedding

We booked run for cover for our wedding back in 2019 and due to covid we finally had our big day in June 2022. They stuck by us for all that time and we're very accommodating and professional and kept in touch throughout. We opted for the band with their DJ service in between. The Song choices were discussed with us in advance, and the band even played our first dance Live, and provided the audio to us for the videographer to get better sound quality. The guys were so friendly and down to earth and sounded amazing on the night. They really made the night stand out and we had loads of comments saying how good they were. We are very glad we decided to opt for this band instead of just a DJ as the atmosphere was fantastic. Couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. Thanks run for cover.

Booked for Anniversary

They were wonderful, arrived in plenty of time despite a long drive, played absolutely perfect music for the occasion and couldn’t be more accommodating and laid back. They were such a hit with everyone, beautiful voice and very cool guitar. Highly recommend them

When will a rock band start its set?

While rock bands have different performance duration, the majority of bands only start performing when the guests are in the perfect mood to dance, which will mostly be during drink reception or around meal time. The set may begin during an evening meal and after the guests have taken enough time to eat. Our suppliers offer a flexible time so you can discuss the preferred time you want the performance to start with the supplier. The band may start playing at the beginning of the event to set up the atmosphere of the event.

Will a band play covers or its own songs?

A rock band’s repertoire includes a wide variety of songs from different music genres. A band may play a cover during a set. However, their playlist includes classics, modern rock songs, and other mixes of songs they believe will be appealing to all the guests. Regardless, most bands prefer to sing their list of selected and diverse songs in their unique style that will get everyone entertained. You can contact your preferred supplier on Poptop if you have any questions or special request.
