Review Centre: Cover Bands

"Rewind2Play is a duo who make creative music videos. When they perform live, they do so in front of a big screen with a video playing in the background to match the song they are playing. Rewind2Play have over 50 videos on their youtube channel. These videos are very entertaining, amusing and original. One of their videos, a cover of Iko Iko, has had 200,000 views. Whilst most of their songs are covers, to cater for market needs, Rewind2Play also have several original songs, one of which I forecast will become a smash hit (I said that once before, when I first heard Joe Cockers version of I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends). I have seen Rewind2Play at several gigs, and the effects of playing in front of an entertaining video of them also playing the same song works exceedingly well, particularly some of the stunning backdrops/scenery and the amusing touches. The crowds love it, they pack the dance floor and they sing along. And multitasking, such as singing and dancing at the same time makes for thirsty work, so the bar sells a few bevvies to keep everyone lubricated. Mark is a Liverpudlian who writes the original songs, so there are a few Beatles covers in here too! Maybe when he is in Denton (Manchester), Mark will get a few more hats to add to his collection to make more videos. I'm expecting Rewind2Play to be very warmly received in the UK for their novel originality and creativity, and for the obvious love between Mark and his wife Aimee which illuminates many of the videos. But don't take my word for it, check out their youtube channel. "

"Retrosky has become my go-to party band. I threw my husband a 50th birthday street-party that couldn't have been better!! Rob worked with me to make this the most fun, memorable party my neighborhood (which is a serious partying neighborhood!!) Will never forget. We had to get creative with the set up, but Rob was 100% on board with my crazy ideas! They played for hours, got the crowd involved and dancing, emceed the party for me, etc. I can't wait to have another reason to have them come out! If you're even considering having a live band - do yourself a favor, and call Retrosky - you won't be sorry!!!"

"Wirklich vom Feinsten! Wir haben Tcha Simmons für eine private Feier gebucht. Die Buchung war unkompliziert, Tcha hat uns gut beraten und uns geholfen den Ramen abzustecken (Anzahl Musiker, Musikalischer Stil, etc). Der Auftritt dann war grossartig! Unsere Gäste - von denen einige Profimusiker waren - waren begeistert! Die charismatische Stimme von Tcha, das bluesig-jazzige Repertoire von Jazz-Standards über Songs von Stevie Wonder bis hin zu the Doors und Eigenkompositionen war spannend und einfach hinreissend. Auch die durch den italienischen Keyboarder eingestreuten italienischen Balladen (Lucio Dalla, Zuchero, etc.) haben sehr gut gepasst und für noch mehr Abwechslung gesorgt. Auch wurden spontan gewünschte Songs gespielt, wo man die Klasse der Musiker erlebt hat. Die Freude am Musizierenn war spürbar und ansteckend. Die Moderation war passend zum gewünschten Rahmen und menschlich war es sehr angenehm im Kontakt mit den Musikern. Ich bin absolut begeistert und kann Tcha vollumfänglich weiterempfehlen. Wirklich vom Feinsten! Vielen, vielen Dank!!! am 3. September 2025 "

"Kate, what a beautiful voice you have. The song choices I gave you were all met way above our expectations. We thought there would be something you wouldn't be able to accommodate us with but no, you sang every song beautifully and even brought tears to some guests eyes. If anyone is reading this please have Kate singing at your wedding, she made our day and our memories all the more sweeter because of Kate xx thankyou sooo much."
