Booked for Corporate Function

Had the pleasure of having this Latin band at our summer party and, seriously, they were the heartbeat of the Soiree! They had an amazing talent for reading the room and tailored the tunes perfectly, taking us all on a trip to Latin America without leaving our backyard. Super professional, too, from setup to the last note. Their song selection? Spot-on and memorable. These band is the real deal, and we're definitely bringing them back for an encore. If you want to amp up your party, they're a gem you'll want to book! Thank you Michael and the rest of you band for making our party so memorable, fun and inspiring!

Couldn't of asked for a better experience. The band was amazing and definitely got the dancefloor full. The band are really approachable and accommodating with any requests on the night and were flexible with the sets to work with the flow of the evening. Great quality music, which got our guests wanting more. A special thank you to Ben, who is most genuinely the nicest man, who can also belt out some tunes. Our wedding day was perfect, and Run For Cover definitely contributed to making it that way. We cannot recommend enough. If anyone is wanting top quality music for their event, then get in touch with Ben and the band. We wish you guys all the best, and hope to use you again in the future.

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.
