About / Biography

We are The Cherry Beats, an upbeat, energetic wedding/party band based in South Wales, who perform throughout the UK.


Renowned for our 3 part harmonies and close attention to detail, we’re a high energy band and fully live band (no backing tracks) who lean hard on our instruments and vocals to do justice to the tracks we cover, whilst also adding our own personal flair to keep things modern! We perform a wide range of material from artists such as the Kinks, Tom Jones, Harry Styles, Simple Minds, Frankie Valli, Duo Lipa, Beatles, covering decades & genres from modern pop hits all the way back through to the rock and roll classics of the 50’s and 60’s. Our eclectic setlist has never let us down and has always led to a full and happy dance-floor with something for everyone!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Best gig was supporting the GLC at Monmouth festival to a crowd of over 4,000 people!
We also loved playing for 1970s Welsh Rugby legends at the Celtic Manor.

Best venue would be Newburgh Priory, North Yorkshire for Norwegian royalty!


What's your favourite type of event?

We love a wedding but any event where the crowd are up for a dance! We really feed off that!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

The band started in 2009 when 5 friends came together for a charity evening to raise money for Cancer research.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We play the best cover tracks from the 1950s to the present day!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface, cover in case of rain and a power supply close to the performance area.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

For our 2 x 60 minute packages we learn a track of the clients choice.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Energetic and very impressive. They note our skill and overall accuracy in terms of the music and harmonies!
