How to Choose a Covers Band or Party Band
Live music is an essential part of the atmosphere at celebrations and company parties. Our huge catalogue includes music from all decades, from the 1920's to today's hits. With so many bands to offer, we understand that choosing the right band can be a challenge, but we're here to help!
Cover bands are experts at taking popular songs and giving them a unique twist with exclusive hit arrangements that will get guests up and dancing.
Some bands specialise in specific genres, such as rock, indie, pop, folk, jazz, swing, rap, R&B, Motown or Britpop. These bands may stick to a particular genre or decade and others combine legendary classics, all-time greatest hits and the latest releases. Many of our cover bands are more than willing to cater to song preferences if your tastes are specific.
Frequently Asked Questions
More than you can imagine. Located all over the world, we have everything from acoustic duos to big bands and huge orchestras.
The styles of music they play are just as diverse. There are standard bands that usually have between 3 and 6 members and play covers of popular music and well-known songs of all times. We also have many bands that adapt to a specific genre, such as disco, rock, pop, electro swing or jazz, and we have era-specific cover bands that play popular songs from a specific time, such as the 1980s, the 1920s or the 1950s.
There is no fixed duration of a cover band's performance. Generally, you can expect at least an hour of live music. Some will play for 90 minutes, while others will play two or more times for 30 minutes. Some cover bands will be happy to play for 2 hours or more without a break. If you tell us how long you would like them to play for, we will tell you which bands are best suited to your event.
Many of Scarlett Entertainment's cover bands have huge repertoires of songs, often too large for a single performance. Therefore, they will let you choose the songs you like best from their repertoire. On the other hand, if the band you have chosen already plays the kind of music similar to the songs you want to hear, they will most likely already know those songs or learn them especially for you.
Yes, many of the bands we have play specific genres. If you tell us what style of music you like, we will find the bands that play it. Some may include a small selection of songs in the style you are looking for and, with enough notice, they are likely to learn more specifically for your event.
On home turf many professional covers bands are fully equipped with all the equipment they need for a performance. In some cases, especially when travelling abroad, the cover bands will require you to provide a P.A. system and some of the instruments like drums and amplification. It is very easy for us to find out what a cover band can and can’t provide, so speak to us and we will let you know.
Scarlett Entertainment has a full roster of acoustic cover bands, from simple duos to large ensembles. We have acoustic bands with just guitars and acoustic bands with a wide range of fantastic acoustic instruments. Acoustic bands are a great option if you are looking for live musical entertainment that you can enjoy at your event.
A tribute band pays tribute to a particular artist or group. They usually only play the music of the band or artist and often imitate their appearance through costumes, equipment and staging. Cover bands are broader. They usually choose a collection of songs that they like or that are popular and perform them without trying to imitate the original artists.
Of course. If the group agrees and the circumstances are right, there is no problem. Factors to consider are the weather and whether the performance area is suitable for the band and equipment, as well as noise levels, either because the band is playing too loud or because the noisy environment, such as busy cities, makes it difficult for the band to hear.
Yes, all the cover bands we have on our list have videos. If you want, we can send them to you so you can watch them. If necessary, we will contact the bands and ask them to send us something we can show you.
Most cover bands need about an hour to prepare. Some smaller groups, including acoustic groups, will need much less time. It may take a little longer if there is a considerable distance between the car park and the venue.
Yes, we have a lot of cover bands that play or can play without vocals. We have a lot of classical and jazz bands, acoustic and electric, that play well-known songs from those styles, and we also have several cover bands that play collections of popular songs from all eras. Often, one of the instruments plays the melody of the voice.
Because we are an award-winning global entertainment company and leading experts in the field. We have virtually every type of cover band you can imagine on our roster and if we don't have the one you're looking for, we'll find it. We will listen to your preferences and specifications and provide you with the right cover band for you. Don't hesitate, call us today.

Expert Advice on Hiring Covers Bands
For example, many cover bands may play a specific style of music at the beginning, such as acoustic pop, before switching as the event unfolds to a dance playlist or a decade-specific show. One of the most popular requests is for a cover band to attend an event, but for the number of musicians to increase over the course of the evening.
For instance, a trio might kick off the evening at the cocktail reception, but later, the same trio might reconvene with their partners to form a seven-piece band to lead the show.
