The Cover Ups-Live Duo was first formed in 2004 with collaboration between David Taylor and Hayley summers. They met while both working on P&O cruises overseas and through their love of music came to together to create what is now the Cover ups. Their aim in the beginning was to only perform acoustic covers. Over time they realised that playing with backing music gave them not only a much bigger sound, but more freedom to perform a wider range of songs that would appeal to different audiences. Making their own backing tracks and using a blend of high quality midi sounds and live instruments gives the cover ups a sound that could lead you to believe they were a 4 piece band. They play a variety of cover songs ranging from top 40 music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and today. With Hayley on vocals and Dave on Guitar, bass and occasionally bringing out a ukulele, the quality duo are sure to entertain.
SYDNEYS MOST ADDICTIVE COVER BAND - Smoke are a six piece party band and have been performing for over a decade. Consisting of both female & male vocals, Smoke perform a wide variety of popular booty shakin cover songs from the 70s 80s and 90s to current chart music which are sure to get the party started and keep the dancefloor full all night long!
