Graffiti were formed with the main aim of appealing to a wide audience by performing carefully chosen songs from a wide mix of popular and quality artists. Many years later, due to their increasing popularity it is clear that Graffiti achieved their original goal as they are still enjoying performing as much today as they did when they first started out. Over the years, Graffiti have built up a loyal following around the South Wales area in addition to performing in many other parts of the UK.
Although the band originally built up a name for themselves on the local pub entertainment scene, it wasn't long before Graffiti were identified as being a perfect ‘party band’ and as a result they have played at hundreds of different occasions such as Weddings, Birthdays, Festivals, Summer Balls, Christmas Light 'Switch-ons' and Corporate events.
So, if you are looking to book a dynamic well established covers band that play classic tracks across most musical genres from 70’s right through the decades to current chart material, then look no further! Graffiti have a passion to make every night not just a good night, but a great night! Four guys that have the experience to cater for all occasions and also offer the added facility of incorporating a disco as a ‘full package’ option if required. Graffiti are fiercely proud of the excellent reputation that they have gained for providing a professional and reliable service to their clients.
Since establishing themselves as a hugely popular live act, Graffiti have provided entertainment for hundreds of top venues & clients across the UK

We are able to set up in relatively small spaces, but a stage area of 8 metres wide by 5 would be preferable. A minimum of 3 x double 13amp power sockets.
Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a stage lighting.
Most importantly, access information regarding load in / load out. If the venue hasa 'sound limiter', then please inform us of this.
Absolutely, we always carry a playlist with 1000's of tracks across all genres of music.
We have played many memorable gigs over the years, but there are a few 'special gigs' that will always be regarded as 'highlights'. One being that we performed for The Welsh Rugby Team and we also headlined the Taunton Christmas Light 'switch on'. In addition, Graffiti have also been fortunate enough to support quite a few prestigious UK artists.
If you look at our repertoire, you will see that the band has many influences, so it would be difficult to single out any specific artist or song. There are far too many to chose from!
As individuals, we all have vast amounts of gigging experience, all of us starting at a young age. Since Graffiti formed at the end of the 90's, we have performed hundreds of gigs across Wales & England at both private and public functions.
Wedding and Birthday parties are our favourite type of events. Everybody is in a 'dancing mood' so we like to see people enjoying themselves. We also supply a dance palylist when we are not performing to ensure the party remains in full swing all night.
Graffiti always arrive in good time to set up prior to our performance. Normally we play a minimum of 2 x 45 minute sets or 2 x 60 minute sets if required. We have enough material to compile a set list of your chosen duration.
Yes, providing the provided outside space is safe to perform with regard to staging, electrics and cover.
Absolutely they do. For example, if we are palying at a wedding party, we always offer our clients to choose their favourite tracks / artists from our playlist so that we play exactly what they want - after all it is their big day!
We also offer to learn the clients first dance if required so that it is performed live. Also, we will also learn an additional track or two if they are not already in our playlist.
Here are some genuine examples from our website 'testimonials' page:-

"Best band to play in here by a country mile - A Top Top night"
"I'm hearing nothing but praise for the evening and your performance - it was great to see so many people dancing and enjoying the music. It's a bit of a craft to read an audience and get them up on their feet."
