» Profile

Tourguide are a covers band providing 3 hours+ of popular music. Taking you on a musical journey from the past, right up to date, and guaranteeing to have everyone partying and dancing the night away!

Tourguide sets include tracks by Robbie Williams, Rod Stewart, Stereophonics, REM, Oasis, Bon Jovi, The Beatles... there is something for everybody to make your day really special. We can also provide a DJ service as an optional extra for those who want an all-in-one package, and take requests for live songs to be included (with reasonable notice).

Tourguide tailor their sets to suit the crowd, putting the audience's expectations first. You want up to the minute Indie and pop? No problem. 60's and 70's classics? Great. Rock and blues? Love it.

They are extremely amenable guys and will do their best to accommodate any reasonable requests in a professional manner. With Tourguide the priority is the fun had by the people at the event and the enthusiasm and great music generated by the band very quickly spreads throughout the dance hall!

- Jen, 30th Birthday, Whittakers Arms, Accrington, Aug '07

"I booked Tourguide for my boyfriends surprise 30th and I thought they were fantastic! I asked them in advance if they would be able to play some Stone Roses songs and they learnt a few songs especially for the night which I thought was brilliant. The theme was Black & White and the band even dressed appropriately for the night. Lots of people commented on how good they were and what a great set list! They even sent me a few photos of the party that they had taken from the stage of everyone dancing - really nice touch and appreciated because I'd forgotten my camera! Thanks for a great evening lads, glad you enjoyed the food!"
- Angela, 30th Birthday, Ukranian Club, Halifax, July '07

"Tourguide are excellent. Me & Sis came to watch you all play at the Hope & Anchor in Accrington on Friday 22nd June 07. We were only meant to be stopping for a little while and then going into town, but the band was that good we never left the pub all night... I will recommend them to anyone, they are the greatest!"
- Ali, The Hope and Anchor, Accrington, June '07

"Tourguide were an excellent band for our formal staff party at Manchester City Football club. Maintained regular contact prior to the event, were accommodating to our requests of using their equipment for our own use (microphone for speeches etc) and dressed appropriately for our style for the evening. They played a wide selection of songs that kept the dance floor full and dancing till the end the night ended too early as could have danced for a good while longer! There was a wide selection of people at the event, and they catered to all tastes. Two separate guests are even looking to book the band for their weddings so will certainly be seeing you again!"
- Claire Roberts, Staff Party, Manchester City Football Club, June '07
