Full Description
Our aim is to give you and your guests the time of their lives and have everyone talking about it for years to come!
We play songs to suit all tastes and ages but can tailor the set list to suit you. We will also learn your first dance if we don't already know it.
Having delighted clients at many weddings over the years (as you can see from our reviews), rest assured we have the experience to keep your guests on the dance floor!
We understand booking musicians can sometimes be a complicated process so to make this easy for you, we’ve broken down what will be included in our quote:
• Band set up and take down time
• Travel
• 6-piece band including fabulous male and female lead singers, superb guitarists, keyboard player and an unbelievable drummer! Our brilliant sax and trumpet players are also standing by in case you’d like our brass section.
• All band equipment (instruments, amplification, microphones etc as well as lighting for stage and for your dance floor, modern PA suitable for up to 800 guests)
• We can also supply an acoustic guitarist or piano player for your ceremony/drinks period – please ask for details.
• Free DJ style playlists when we are not playing (so background music during dinner and dance music at other times)
• Free: 2 song requests of your choosing.
If you’re interested, please call or drop us an email and we can take the conversation from there.
Very best wishes

In addition to what we've previously listed in our quotations, you will have my personal attention throughout, including a pre-wedding meeting with you and/or your wedding planner at the venue, if required. I have arranged several weddings in the past from start to finish, I have DJ'd at weddings in addition to being front man for my band, so I feel I have a wealth of experience to help make the day even more special.

AMAZING!
AMAZING! Fantastic band in every way. Great communication from John all the way through from booking to the actual day. Extremely professional band with an amazing team including sound engineer who all made it a terrific event. The music and performance were second to none and every single guest wanted encores. We can't thank them enough! Book them. You will not be disappointed

Every song a floor filler
Absolutely fantastic. Acoustic set in the afternoon fit brilliantly with the festival theme. And the evening was amazing. Every song a ‘floor filler’ with plenty of singing along. X

Would book again in a flash.
We had The Covered for our wedding. We wanted s band with keyboards and multiple singers. We found everything to be very professional, as well as easy and laid back. John was great organising and chatting about songs, long in advance as well as on the day. The sound was fantastic, and everyone had great energy. Highly recommend and would book again in a flash. Don’t hesitate!

Incredibly talented
The covered played at our wedding on June 15th 2019.
They were unbelievable, incredibly talented & professional at all times through out the booking.
This band is just full of energy and played classic hits one after the other .
The dance floor was full at all times, if you want a band that everyone will remember book these .
I will be for all my future functions.
A massive thank you 😊

Energy, passion, brilliant!!
Booked to play at a joint 60th party for me and my twin sister. John was a pleasure to work with during the booking and planning stage. The band are very professional and John and Sara were great lead singers with so much energy and passion backed by a fantastic band. Great interaction with the audience who were up on their feet from the first song to the last. We didn't want it to end. Many of my friends wondered where I'd found you guys and said what a brilliant band you were. I'd recommend The Covered without hesitation and will also keep an eye out for where they are playing as I'd certainly be interested in seeing them live again or will book them for the next family celebration. Thank you so much for a memorable evening. David
