Overview

Front Cover bring a wealth of talent and experience to the South of England. They may be small in number, but this acoustic duo packs a big sound!

Front Cover are a high energy acoustic duo with a funky and unique twist. Based in Cornwall, they are very popular for their versatile repertoire and accomplished musicality, as well as their highly polished performance style.

The duo is comprised of Oliver Holmes (vocals/acoustic guitar/kick drum/loop pedal), who is a formidable session player in his own right, and Amy Stanford (main vocals), who is an incredibly talented singer/performer with a natural, effortless feel and charisma.

The group use modern techniques to create a big and lively sound by using a kick drum and loop pedal along with live guitar to create an energetic performance suitable for background afternoon drinks or a full evening of entertainment, with iPod DJ service between live sets.

Reviews (2)

I have Front Cover play regularly at my bar/restaurant, and they are always a crowd favourite. They are the most upbeat and entertaining duo we have play for us. I highly recommended them for anyone looking for a guaranteed class act duo

Front Cover played for my 30th birthday party at the Imperial hotel in Torbay last year. They were absolutely amazing. Their choice of songs and fun attitude got everyone up dancing. I couldn't recommend them more. They make a huge sound for just two people

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date. Weekends, especially in summer, can book up 12 months or more ahead, so the earlier you secure Front Cover, the better. We can sometimes help at a few weeks' notice too, so it's always worth asking.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

A £250 reservation fee secures your date, and the balance is due 30 days before the event. If you cancel more than three months before, you only lose the reservation fee. Charges then rise on a sliding scale, and the full amount is due within one month of the date. Your booking agreement sets out the exact terms.

What if the timings change after we book?

That's fine. Plans often change as the day gets closer. Just let the Hireaband team know, and we'll check the new timings with Front Cover and update your booking. If you'd like to add more performance time or another act later on, we can arrange that too.

What should we expect if we've never booked an act through Hireaband before?

We'll guide you from your first enquiry to the day itself. You'll get a written booking agreement, a clear quote and a named contact. Hireaband is free to use, and with the Hireaband Price Promise you'll never pay more for an act than by booking anywhere else.

How much contact will we have with the act before the event?

We'll put you in touch with Front Cover around three months before your date, so you can go through timings, music choices and any special requests together. Until then, the Hireaband team are on hand to answer any questions.

Can we see the act perform before booking?

Most performances are at private events, so it isn't always possible to see an act live. The videos, audio and client reviews on this page are the best way to get a feel for Front Cover. If you'd like to know more, the Hireaband team are happy to talk it through with you.

How far will you travel?

Many of our acts perform across the UK. Any quote you receive already includes travel, so there are no surprise extras. For longer journeys an overnight stay may be needed, and we'll tell you before you book.

Are you insured?

If your venue asks for public liability insurance or electrical safety (PAT) certificates, let the Hireaband team know. We'll get the paperwork from Front Cover and send it to your venue.

Will we need to provide anything on the day?

This depends on the act and how long they're with you. Some need a space to get ready, parking, or a meal if they're with you for several hours. We'll confirm Front Cover's requirements with you before the day, so there are no surprises.

What happens if the performer is ill on the day?

It's very rare, but if it happens we'll find a suitable replacement. Hireaband is one of the UK's largest entertainment agencies, with hundreds of acts on our books, so we can usually cover your event even at short notice.
