Local Cover Bands

Postby Q. » Mon Feb 23, 2009 1:25 pm

Looking to hire a cover band for a function and just wondering if anyone has recommendations from those they've seen or hired at events.

Probably looking at a Rock and/or Roll ( :lol: - Rev. Lovejoy) band that caters for a wide demographic.

Went to a wedding recently who had Myles Mayo, of Special Patrol playing with a drummer and second guitarist. Was absolutley unreal. Laid back old school classics that everyone carved up the D'floor to. Special mention to the Johnny Cash covers, they were awesome. Highly highly recommended
