Booked for Celebration

You guys were just the best! Stepped in at the last minute and played a fantastic set of jazz (and some requests... thanks so much). Really gorgeous singing and playing and so quick to respond. Super impressed. Thanks so much for making the night extra special.

Booked for Celebration

Rami and Lisa were perfect for our garden hog roast party. It was the perfect tempo, sound and vibe. We had pop hits and classics and they even learnt some Taylor Swift (for my Missus who is a Swifty). We had multi generations at our party and everyone got into it. Also. It was the perfect volume - no police were called for irritating the neighbourhood peace :) Don't hesitate to hire them for your next party

Booked for Birthday party

Loved this band, they were professional, approachable, friendly & very interactive with the crowd. We only had a small party but all the guests up and dancing and thoroughly enjoyed their set. Would definitely book again and highly recommend.

Absolutely brilliant - great voices and lots of fun. We really enjoyed having the Front Covers entertain us at our birthday/charity party celebration. They are a lovely group, totally professional and well organised. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a group who will guarantee a good night of singing and music - they obviously love what they do! Thanks guys - you were fabulous!

Can a rock band in Manchester learn something special for my event?

You can always discuss your preferences with the band. In most cases, a rock band will charge an extra fee when you require them to learn something for your event. Also, they will only accept to learn a new song if it can be played on their standard set of instruments. You may find this service on Poptop’s website as a booking option if it is available. Feel free to discuss this with our supplier directly because each supplier’s services vary.

How many rock band members will perform?

The number of members that will perform depends on the rock band you choose for your event. While the members of a rock band can be between 3 to 5 performers, some rock bands also include just two performers — a strong lead guitarist and a female vocalist. You will also find a four-piece rock band on Poptop. You can always choose whichever best matches your preference. Yes, you can enquire from the supplier for more clarity.
