Talented 3-piece pop rock wedding & party band from Herefordshire with both male and female lead vocals.
One of our most popular Midlands-based rock and pop cover bands with an extensive repertoire spanning seven decades. All three members are multi-instrumentalists with a wealth of experience releasing records, recording BBC radio sessions (John Peel, Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson, Huw Stephens) and touring throughout the world in original bands, playing at numerous well-known venues (London Brixton Academy, Nottingham Rock City, New York Knitting Factory, Austin Emo's) and festivals (Reading/Leeds, Dot To Dot, CMJ New York). They have performed at weddings with a number of high-profile guests including Kate Moss, Jamie Hince (The Kills), Alison Mosshart (The Dead Weather, The Kills), Joanna Newsom, and concerts alongside Placebo, The Klaxons, Friendly Fires, Lily Allen, The Gossip and many more.
Since their formation in 2009, The Cover Tones have become a regular attraction in and around the Midlands, providing entertainment at weddings further afield in London and around the UK. As a classic three-piece line-up of guitar/male vocals, bass/female vocals, and drums/male vocals, the band delivers authentic full- sounding covers from 60s classic artists including Van Morrison and The Kinks, right through to more modern artists like Robbie Williams and Kings Of Leon.
The Cover Tones provide background music on an iPod and laptop when the band isn’t playing and have their own high quality PA and stage lighting. The band usually perform for two one-hour or three 40-minute sets. They may even throw in an unscheduled bandaoke session if anyone fancies their chances as an X-factor wannabe - lyrics screens and song lists are provided.

Rob, Wedding, London, July 2011The set was fantastic!!! I can't give you enough praise!
I thoroughly enjoyed every song you guys played, and I have had so many people not only on the night but since say how awesome you guys were. Some have said that it was the best live band they have ever seen at a wedding! -
Jack, Wedding, June 2011Just wanted to say a huge thanks for last Saturday. We all really enjoyed the evening and you got lots of compliments from my friends through the evening. I also wanted to say thanks for allowing me to play with you, it made my night and Pui's too! Also, for your agency, I found it easy to book and I found your email correspondence very professional and efficient. The website is also easy to use and it has a very good FAQ section.
