» Testimonials

We just wanted to thank you once again for an absolutely amazing performance at our wedding in South Devon on 19th september - we knew the Coverup Band were good when we booked you, but you blew us away with your two sets at the wedding reception..... you really made it special for us and all our guests have been raving about you since! Thanks again
- Tanya & Charlie

When Matt went out one night and came home drunkenly to tell me that he had booked the band for our wedding I have to admit that I was a little nervous! I certainly had nothing to be worried about. You were excellent and everyone continues to comment on how much they enjoyed the music and what a great night it was. We have and will continue to recommend you. Thank you for helping to make a perfect day.
- Matt and Cath's Parkinson Wedding

The cover up played for our wedding 5th Sept, they were absolutely amazing, we had seen them in Brighton & were very impressed. Everyone is still talking about how good they were it really made the evening & had all ages up dancing we couldnt have asked for anything more thank you guys
- Julie & James Hole, wedding

From begining to end these guys were amazing and everybody at our wedding thought the same. I felt I could phone up Paul whenever I needed to change something! Truely awesome and wouldn't of been the same without them playing, first class.
- Emily McNally, Wedding

I spotted the band in Brighton before our wedding, we had already booked a top class DJ and couldn't really justify the extra expense, however both myself and my father in law were so impressed we couldn't resist. We booked them and they played as my wife arrived down the aisle and then again doing two sets at the reception. It was probably my greatest choice on our wedding day, well apart from the wife of course!! They were amazing, worth every penny, played very specific requested tracks perfectly and now 18 months later are still the talk of our friends and family when we discuss our wedding. Talented, Professional, Flexible and Helpful and simply jaw droppingly entertaining. I intend to book them again for my 40th birthday. The DJ who was also very good and is very well respected in Kent and comes with great recommendations commented afterwards. "They were the greatest band he had ever worked with". Thanks Guys. ps can i have a discount for my birthday party now!!!
- Steve & Angela Thomas

Having travelled from Birmingham down to Brighton to watch The Cover Up we were so impressed that we booked them pretty much there and then for our wedding. The Cover Up were absolutely amazing and really made our wedding special by playing our first dance. Everyone has commented to us how good the band were, getting people of all ages on the dance floor. Two words to describe the band, pure class. Well done guys and thank you for making our special day extra special. XXX
- Louise & Lee Taylor

We had the band for our wedding back in January - best decision we made to book them for the evening - the dance floor was full the whole night, due to their talent, enthusiasm and diverse song list. They even learnt a new song for us so we could dance our "first dance" to the live music - it was fantastic. The beat box was the icing on the cake - what an original and amazing guy - was the talking point of the wedding!!!
- Lucy & Matt - Wedding

The Cover Up was engaged to play at Plumpton Racecourse Ladies Day in September 2008 to add a touch of class to the event. In terms of the performance itself, it definitely did and I could not have hoped for a better band absolutely flawless playing, great vocals and a perfect choice of songs for the event. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone, no matter what the event or the age of the guests. All members of the band were professional, well presented, and above all fantastic musicians.
- Allison Blake, Events Executive, Plumpton Racecourse

I was so impressed with The Cover Up when I saw them at a private party that I decided to book them for The Rank Organisation Christmas function. It is great to see such dedicated musicians and they clearly enjoy entertaining the audience. Their two sets were very well chosen and they kept the floor full all night. Many Thanks to the CoverUp."
- Sue Waldock - Rank Organisation - Corporate Event

We would like to say a big thank you to The Cover Up for playing at our wedding. You make it an extra special evening for us and our guests, everybody loved you all. Thank you for making our first dance so special too, definitely left us with some fabulous memories to treasure"
