THE ROBBERS – a great 4 piece band playing the best music from the 1960s to the present day. Featuring male and female lead singers and great harmonies as well as keyboards, guitars, bass and drums, this line-up feels more like a 5 piece band!
The band listen carefully to your needs and are also happy to play background music through their own PA between sets if that’s preferable (saving you the cost of a DJ). Anything is possible. Just ask. They’re great value for money and have worked hard to create a big sound, with a wonderful collection of songs sure to keep everyone dancing.
For performances they generally dress in black and white stripy T-shirts and suits which makes them really stand out from the crowd, although they can dress up or down depending on what’s required for the occasion. They enjoy a great rapport with the audience and always attempt to live up to the band’s cheesy tagline – ‘stealing the show’!
They can also play the entire show acoustically, if required, meaning they can work in a venue that has sound-limiters. Of course, if you want it up loud - that's fine too.
