General cover stuff, you know Committments, Oasis, pop, soul ect ect. The sort of stuff you would play at a wedding to cater for ages from 20's up to 60's. No punk or wailing music.

Try David Yates, Double Life Management - he does the open mic stuff at The Ram and also does a covers set. http://www.double-life.co.uk

The original Roulettes do a good session with loads of covers.

How do I get hold of them and do they fit within our budget?

Contact me via email. One of the band members I know very well. I'll have to contact him regarding availability as they may have a booking elsewhere. Budget-wise, I'll have to ask as I am not sure what they charge.
Be aware that they are a proper live band from the sixties so entertainment would be guaranteed.

Dave hangs out at the Coach and Horses in Newgate Street Village. You can always contact him via the landlord.

Victor, given the current injury list, perhaps the money might be better spent on a Tongan or two [B)][:)].
Seriously, you could get in touch with Kev Saunders; he's got loads of contacts. I can also really recommend Sweet Sister.

According to all of the rumours £500 is no where near enough.
Thank you all for your suggestions.
