Cover Bands and Live Music from Corporate Events to Weddings
A cover band is a tribute act that would usually be booked to play a line up of cover songs (other musicians' songs) which are popular with the crowd expected at your event. Most people think about a cover band when planning entertainment for corporate events, balls, functions, festivals and of course if they want a wedding band to perform live music.
Having a cover band play at your event is a superb way to get your guests involved and you can often choose a themed cover band to play for instance you may have a 1960's themed wedding then your chosen wedding band will specialise in 60's themed music or you may choose a band that will play indie music, rock, guitar, jazz – or simply popular tracks that a range of people will enjoy.
A good point to make if you are seeking an agency to provide your live music and entertainment is to find out how much experience the cover band has, ask to listen to a recording or preferably a quick live performance if possible – this way you will be able to judge their stage presence, however this is not always possible and not forgetting a performance in an office in the day time will perhaps not reflect how the performance will go with the correct lighting and good atmosphere at an evening event!
A cover band should always be booked with a good DJ that can play during intervals and before the act performs. Bands generally will not play for the whole duration of the event so the DJ will be rostered to play high energy music and dance floor fillers at the end of the live music performance.
A fine entertainment agency will have superb connections and a good list of acts to make for a fantastic event that keeps your guests entertained, the cover bands and your DJ will be able to discuss with you a playlist covering your chosen music be it golden oldies, pop or dance etc and the cover band will normally provide all the equipment, PA's and lighting.
Once booked you should normally expect to pay a deposit and the price will often cover travel expenses. Once a deposit is paid, you can expect the cover band and wedding DJ to travel to your event location and provide the perfect entertainment for your party or corporate event.
