What style of cover bands are there?
We have your indie-rock cover bands performing the likes of the Killers, Oasis, etc, and Soul & Funk bands performing all the classics, plus Mumford style folk bands and your classic function band with a mixed set-list of different genres.
Equipment
A professional covers band or party band will come self-contained with sound equipment and additional lighting for the performance area if required. Also, they would include a DJ option for a wedding in between their sets.
How long to set up and play for?
The band would normally take between 60-90 minutes to set up and do their soundcheck. If you are having a wedding reception, for example, the band would arrive between 5-6 pm to unload and set up their equipment ready for a 7.30 pm start. The normal set lengths are 2 x 60 minutes with a 20-minute break, but 3 x 40 minutes is another option.
How much space do they need?
A general guide for a 3-piece band is a space of 3m x 3m. This will increase by an additional meter for every additional band member. So for example a 4-piece band would need 4m x 3m and so on.
Do I need to provide anything?
If you are looking to hire a covers band for your wedding it is likely to be a long day for them, so a supply of soft drinks and a buffet-style meal would be very much appreciated. Also, you would need to check they can park as close to the venue as possible to unload their equipment.
