Cover Story is an experienced five-piece function band based in London and the Home Counties. We have performed at weddings, charity and fundraising balls, dinner/dances, coporate events and birthday parties. We are equally at home playing for 50 people as we are playing for several hundred.

We have a completely flexible approach to events, appreciating that timings rarely go to plan! We have played at various venues in and around London, ranging from small function rooms through marquees to larger venues, including the Croydon Hilton, Epsom Grandstand, Royal Garden Hotel, Kensington, Harlequins Jester Suite, Twickenham, Epsom & Ewell Lord Mayors CharityBall and Metropolitan Police Summer Ball.

If you would like to hear what we sound like, please contact us and I will be happy to send a demo and up-to-date playlist to you. No salesman will call and there is no obligation to book!

We have a large repertoire of popular songs from the 50's and 60's through to modern day chart material. We play in a variety of styles, including soul, ballads, pop, rock and roll and latin so that a wide range of age groups is catered for. We prefer to play live, avoiding the use of backing tapes and minidiscs. We are always willing to discuss specific songs or special requests. We have a full P.A. system together with lighting, both static and disco / effect. The sound system is also available for speeches, raffles and announcements.

These are some of the songs we play :

Wind beneath my wings - Hard to handle - I'm a believer - Sitting on the dock of the bay - Daydream Believer - Get here - Under the boardwalk - Rescue me - What can I do - Knock on Wood - Mustang Sally - When you're gone - Soul Man - I'll be there for you - Dancing Queen - Proud Mary - Waterloo - Simply the best - Don't leave me this way - Crocodile Rock - Angels - Can't buy me love - Stand by me - Hard day's night - December 63 - I will survive - So Young - Just wanna dance the night away - Get on your feet - Jailhouse Rock - Johnny B Goode - Wonderful Tonight - Gimme Some Loving - Love Shack - Copacabana - Roll over Beethoven - All right now - Dizzy - Summertime - I saw her standing there -

Coments from previous clients ;

"I have heard nothing but praise for the band's very high standards of musicianship and professionalism, as well as their obvious pleasure in their performance. Many people said that they had not had such an enjoyable evening for ages. The range of repertoire certainly gave something for everybody." (Ray - Leatherhead, Surrey)

" I am writing ... to thank you and the band very much for your excellent performance at our Charity Ball. As I think you could tell by the way that everyone joined in, your music was greatly appreciated and contributed in large measure to what was a very successful evening." (Mayor of Epsom & Ewell Borough Council)

"We are writing to thank you so much for playing so fantastically at our wedding .... - we were incredibally impressed and have to say that the standard of singing and playing was head and shoulders above live bands that we have heard at any other functions." (Simon & Philippa - Wandsworth, London)

"I wish to express my thanks and congratulations to you for a superb evening's entertainment. All our guests were impressed by the quality and range of the music which made the whole evening go so well but regrettably so quickly. Your attention to detail, together with the high quality of your music, resulted in one outstanding evening." (Alan - Twickenham, Middx)

"I thoroughly enjoyed your performance and would have no hesitation recommending you to future clients." (Carl - Haslemere, Surrey)
