Often described as "A breath of fresh air" there is no other band in the area quite like The Charm Offensive. Tearing up the script for generic function bands, The Charm Offensive take on the songs that you know and love but wont hear from any other bands. From Rick Astley to Backstreet Boys, and Aqua to Abba, nothing is off limits under the pop umbrella.
Unlike most other bands, The Charm Offensive bring the party to you, literally. Not content with stood on a stage, The Charm Offensive join you on the dance floor, on the tables, or wherever the party is at.
The Charm Offensive focus on high quality/high energy entertainment. With dazzling dance moves, ridiculous shirts, comedic skits, and of course, an eclectic set of pop classics, The Charm Offensive offer more bang for your buck with complete entertainment on the menu for your event.
You cant keep a good band down. And with 11 years in the rear view mirror, there is a reason that The Charm Offensive are one of the longest serving bands in the area.

No, but we are essentially a Rock Band in all but the songs performed. Pop Classics with a Rock Twist, is a fair description.
Yes. But depending on location, this will reflect in the price. Were open to discuss this before booking.
In our nearly 12 years, we have performed multiple memorable gigs. We definitely enjoy the good vibe feel at all of the Weddings we have played over the years.
In terms of venues, there aren't many as big as Tribfest, which we have played several times. It has also been an honour to entertain the ex-service men and women at several Hull For Heroes events over the years, as well as our work for multiple Special Educational Needs events.
We have varied influences and inspirations. Many of which would probably not be reflected in the songs that we play. Despite us all being of a more Rock based learning, we also count Folk Music, Pop Music, Ska, Motown, and Dance Music as influences.
11 years of experience as a band, playing various size venues and events, taking our professionalism seriously while making your big day/event energetic and extra-special.
Any event is fun when you are The Charm Offensive. But the feel good vibe of performing Weddings is hard to beat.
Everything. Our performance is based on Energy and Entertainment. From the wacky shirts, to the wild dance battles, and the setlist of songs that you know and love but don't hear other bands play, to the pure unpredictability. Everything is unique.
We normally arrive 2 hours beforehand, to set up and sound check, depending on the agreed times. Generally we perform 2 sets around 45mins with a short break in between, but we are flexible to suit the requirements of the customer.
We are happy to perform outside, providing adequate cover is provided to protect ourselves and equipment from any adverse weather conditions.
For an additional cost we are willing to learn additional songs (Not currently in our repertoire) if we feel the song is suitable. This should be discussed prior to booking and may be subject to the available timeframe in which we have to learn the song(s).
