Cherry plays a mixture of pop, rock, ska and motown covers both acoustically and in a full electric band called The Bees Knees. Her acoustic act is available as a trio, duo and she also performs solo. For the full electric band she is available as a trio, quartet, 5 piece and 6 piece band.
Cherry has been in bands since she was the age of 15 but has become even more popular now she has started playing acoustically. She has a powerful rock voice with an extensive range but can also sing a variety of styles ranging from soft ballads to pop to blues.
She performs as a duo with Ste Ryder who is a very talented professional bass player who plays upright bass when playing in the duo. Her acoustic act can also be booked as a trio which includes Matt Giles on cajon. Although they play acoustic music they keep the mood very lively and get the crowd dancing. They can also adapt to a more toned down environment and play as background music if needed.
Cherry's full electric band can include two guitars, bass, synthesiser, saxophone and drums, they play a range of Pop, Rock, Ska and Motown covers and they really do get the party going. They can provide all of their own sound and lighting equipment.
Cherry Valentine is very well known in the Manchester music scene, as well as a musician she also runs her own promotions and tour booking company
Cherry and Duo partner Steve were excellent. Thoroughly professional arrived in good time and set up without fuss. She made a point of the music to suit the evening and sang and played to out the evening to everyone s delight. Thank you for making a special evening memorable.
Excellent voice and a great entertainer.
Just fantastic! We had Lauren & Steve perform at our outdoor party in the sun and they were just great! Everyone loved the fact that they knew everything they sang and they were so good! Got everyone involved and provided just the right kind of atmosphere for the event....even my neighbours came out to listen to them. Thanks so much to both of you!!!
Excellent singer with a beautiful voice. We loved it! Xx

Tonight they played at cricket club although not many there it was a great set I would recommend and hopefully we will bring them back for a proper white rose party
We booked these for a childrens gala and they was fantastic the variety of music was btilliant and suited to all ages would definitely recommend booking would love to have you back again
Lauren and the band played at the Nantwich Christie Hospital Support Group’s Silver Anniversary Ball at Wrenbury Hall last Saturday and they were amazing!! All night guests kept coming up to me and the other organisers telling us how much they were enjoying the music. The dance floor was full all night which is surely a good sign. Cherry Valentine Music certainly got the party started. Thank you for making our celebrations so special.
Cherry and her Band were brilliant! It’s quite a task choosing a band for an event but we really struck gold this time and can’t recommend them enough. We had 290 guests who danced the night away and the only problem was it all went too quick!! We’ll definately be booking them again- thanks guys
Cherry is amazing a lovely person and really knows her audience, picks music to suit and gets everyone up on the dance floor. I cannot recommend her highly enough second to the bride she was highlight of the day
Cherry was brilliant I would highly recommend her for any occasion. I will be looking for any excuse to hire her again. She sang, played her guitar and DJ'd our wedding the Friday just gone and it was absolutely brilliant. Loved every minute of her performance. Thank you so much Cherry.
Cherry was great for our pub on New Years Eve had everyone enjoying themselves,dancing and singing along would highly recommend
I have seen and worked with Cherry Valentine on a variety of events, and she is a delight to work with. In the lead up to gigs she is both friendly and professional, not missing any details. During the gig she's great as she plays a variety of classic pub rock, and her rock chick voice can certainly get fists pumping. Where Cherry shines best is in a full band setting, however her solo sets can still fill up a dance floor! I would highly recommend booking Cherry for whatever event you have.
Amazing artists both cherry and mike are extremely talented seen them at many gigs they know how to work a croud cherrys voice is amazeing and spell binding and mike is her sexy girtarist deffo worth a booking
Acoustic solo/duo act that performs pop, rock and motown covers.
Generally being a known name around the Manchester Music Scene and getting a residency at one of the busiest bars in central Manchester.
Considering the services we provide and our experience, we offer a very reasonable price. We have our own equipment and my other job is in the music industry and promoting so I have a good knowledge of how the business works.
I play all kinds of events, pubs, parties and weddings. I also host many multi artist events in the centre of Manchester and Leeds.
That will be a very long list but Bierkeller in Manchester and Leeds, The Station Hotel in Ashton Under Lyne and The Acoustic Lounge in Poynton are venues that use us regularly. We also have reviews from one off venues and parties on our website.
Either cash, bank transfer or paypal.
Anything up to 3 hours.
We have our own PA but no lighting. If lighting is required we can hire it for an extra cost.
Yes
Hardly any really. There will be me and a PA. For my duo sets I will needs slightly more room but just enough to fit an extra person in the performance area.
