All our prices include VAT. Travel expenses are charged at Musicians Union approved rates of 51p per mile. All our equipment is PAT tested and we have full public liability insurance. Just to clarify, the word 'playlist' means just that, we can't really do a 'DJ' set, so no requests unfortunately. Our PA system is more than adequate for a (very loud if needs be) disco, but the playlist would have to be pretty much set in stone beforehand. Thanks!

About / Biography

Hello, we're the Covers Brothers, we are real life actual brothers, Paul and Steven Herron.

We've been playing together for over 15 years in various different bands, and we share the same love for all harmony based classic pop music from the early sounds of 50s America through to the Britpop days of the 90s and beyond.
No backing tracks, no electronic trickery, just two voices in perfect sibling harmony and two acoustic guitars, simple, authentic, and fun.
