Quirky cover bands in the north west (Lancashire/Merseyside/Greater Manchester)

There are a few sites that have bands that are willing to travel such as Warble and alivenetwork but it depends on how much you're planning on spending? Hope that helps a little!

I booked our singer through warble.

id have a look on there

We are having the baghdaddies at our wedding, they're based in Newcastle but may travel. They do their own music rather than covers but very danceable, fun and definitely gypsy. Check them out, some videos of them at gigs/ festivals etc on youTube.

Thanks everyone. Is there any way of avoiding agencies, as I'm pretty certain that route's going to be much more expensive than approaching a band directly. Or do I just have to suck it up?

Do you know people in bands? If so, it's worth putting out a call on facebook and asking people to share. I know lots of people in the local scene (bands, DJs, promoters etc) so I think if it were me I'd try that

My lovely husband-to-be is chatting to his musically-minded friends to see if they have any connections there, but I'm trying to make sure we cover all our bases. There's a lot of same-sounding cover bands out there, and as we're going for a slightly alternative wedding in general, it would be nice to find a band that fitted in with this theme. Obviously this makes things trickier to come by!
