Review Centre: Top 40 Bands

"Review ‘Under the covers’ ‘The Crown’ 6/8/22 Saturday night saw the highly anticipated and another eagerly awaited return to ‘The Crown’ Family Pub and Live Music Venue, 749 Lincoln Road, Peterborough, PE1 3HD, of Top Cambridge Party Band ‘Under The Covers!’ They are ‘Simply The Best’ 3 Piece band that sound like a 4 piece we have had playing from outside of Peterborough! ?? Fronted by the charismatic Lead Singer and Bass player ‘Thomas Pollyn’ ??who literally fanned the audience from start to finish with his legendary ‘Long Necked Bass!’ making no need for our air conditioning!, the band started the 1st set the way they meant to go on with with ‘Summer of 69’ featuring brilliant Lead and backing vocal harmonies from ‘Thom’ and Lead guitarist’ ‘Christian Jones’ ??and it was ‘Party Time’ once again as we were quickly taken back through the decades!??? We then got 3 absolute classics in a row, ‘ Shake rattle and roll’ by Bill Haley and His Comets ? ☄️ from 1955 and ‘Build me up buttercup’ by The Foundations ‘Twist and shout’ by The Beatles, which featured great drumming by ‘Lewis Dunmore’ ? There was some really ‘refreshing’ song choices again from this band! In particular ‘Escape’ (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes from 1979!? Great humour in the band! Thom: “This is about a man called Johnny!” Christian: “Where does he go?” Thom: “He just goes!” Lol ?? A great version of ‘Johnny B Goode’ followed with excellent Lead Guitar from ‘Christian! ? ‘Play That Funky Music’ with ‘Thom’s’ bass playing giving ‘Mark King from ‘Funk Band’ Level 42 a run for his money!, ‘I want to break Free’ and ‘The Best’ by Tina Turner took us to one of the definite highlights of the 1st Set! ‘A Message to you Rudy’ by The Specials which was worth the ‘Free Admission Price ‘Alone! ????? ‘Sweet Home Alabama’?? and then ‘500 Miles’ by The Proclaimers closed the 1st set in style and demonstrated again the great diversity in this great band! Set 2 started strongly with ‘Let Me Entertain You’ and ‘Chelsea Dagger’ It was then ABBA time with ‘Does your mother know’ and ‘Mama Mia’????♀️??? Next up was the highly anticipated and eagerly awaited Ska 2-Tone section of: ‘Lip up Fatty’ ? by Bad Manners ‘Monkey man’? by The Specials and ‘Baggy Trousers’? by Madness which was awesome! ??? ‘I bet you look good on the Dancefloor’, ‘Sex on Fire’? ‘Teenage Dirtbag’, Mr Brightside’ and ‘Sweet Caroline’ took us to set closer ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ by Oasis. A well deserved Encore saw the band play the anthemic ‘Living On A Prayer’ by ‘Bon Jovi’ with again incredible Lead and backing vocals from the band! ???? BIG Thank you to ‘Under The Covers’ who we look forward to bringing back next year! ?"

"Hired this excellent band for my wedding and they did not disappoint. They performed a great variety of songs that had people up on the dance floor all night. I would definitely hire these guys again if I were having a big enough party, or failing that see them perform in London would be great."

"We attended the Pickering JAMFest last year, where Madhaus was entertaining. We had such an awesome time that we made sure to see them again this year at the JAMFest, bringing along others to introduce them to this band. They are fantastic!!! Great music; loads of energy; very entertaining; putting a refreshing twist on classic tunes!"

"At one point I was convinced that my IPod was on and turned to see it was the band playing live - that was how good they were. More than that, and what you don't get by playing the IPod, was the energy and enthusiasm of the band. It was infectious and they had the dance floor full all evening. Their music is all well- known dance music. (10 / 10)"

" Our guests and us said it was the best wedding band performance ever. The musicianship was fantastic and the members were accommodating and friendly. They are very reasonably priced and easy to work with. Without reservation we recommend them for any event especially weddings."

"Electric Outfit were an amazing addition to our wedding, they really made the evening special! They were easy to work with beforehand and responded quickly to my many emails, they were also happy to include our playlist requests and performed our first dance perfectly. We opted for an extra set and glad we did, they had everyone on the dance floor with such a varied amount of music that everyone danced the night away!"

"A live band was a must for us and Champagne Charlie was a perfect fit. The kids drove all the way to Canterbury for us and made the entertainment organisation so easy. We couldn’t believe how much fun we had, even my brother with his sour face was up and bouncing about. Loved you guys. Thank you so much. "

"Madhouse is definitely a band you don't want to miss. Their talent, sound, and energy is off the charts. Jr is an outstanding singer. But, each band member is crazy good at their craft. Do yourself a favor and go see them. You won't regret it....💯"

"The Bit Band played our ceremony, cocktail reception and wedding reception and from start to finish were UNBELIEVABLE. They are a fantastic group of musicians and their professionalism and artistry was evident in their performances. Mary was our point of contact leading up to the big day and we felt very supported since we were planning a destination wedding. She shared her expertise and helped guide us in our music choices while still letting our personality come through. After hearing some additional demos, we decided to add a brass section (trumpet and sax) to our reception and it was a huge hit! So many of our guests approached us during and after their performance sharing how much they loved them. We danced our hearts out and couldn't be happier to have them part of our big day."

"We had a lucky hand when we could engage saxophonist Sebastian Lilienthal for our wedding celebration on 03.09.2021. He was just the right person for our Brazilian-German celebration with his beautiful music and large repertoire. He played for us at the wedding ceremony in the registry office, at the subsequent champagne reception outside and at the wedding dinner until late into the night. Especially his South American sounds made our hearts beat faster and contributed to an unforgettably beautiful day. Thank you Sebastian for your great musical accompaniment!"
