About Jo-Anne Lifford Band

A fine group of talented, experienced musicians based on the south coast of England, playing a mix of modern country covers and classics.
Country band
Havant
Public liability insurance of £2 million

After years of performing as a solo entertainer at venues both in the UK and overseas, Jo had an idea.....that she would form her own band to fulfil her love of country music! Joanne's band comprises experienced musicians from a range of musical backgrounds, but each with a common desire to perform country music including classics from Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger’s, to modern up-tempo hits from Lady A, Chris Stapleton, Taylor Swift and Shania Twain. The band consists of female lead vocal and acoustic guitar, lead (electric) guitar/vocal/banjo, fiddle, and a solid rhythm section of drums and bass. The band have a professional PA system, lighting, and can provide backing music of your choice between sets. We aim to make your country music night a night to remember!

There are not enough 🌟 available to say how amazing Jo and her band are. We hired them for our 30th wedding anniversary in the garden and they were electric. They knew exactly what was going to happen, a few would dance and they would crank it up a bit and then more became foot loose and up it went again until everyone was living in the moment. I got lucky finding the band but take my word you need not worry as you are in the safest hands if you want guitars, fiddles, banjos and great voices to sing and dance to. Jo-Anne Lifford you were off the scale and we will always be great full for the memories you have given us. Go see them and book them. Can’t add pictures sadly but there are loads to back up my review.

We hosted Jo's band at The Dolphin, Hursley. They were both professional and extremely talented. Our customers absolutely loved the afternoon. If you want a band you can sing, tap and dance along to, then look no further! I would 100% recommend if you are looking for live music!

An abundance of county rock classics and county modern favourites gave the perfect mix to our private party. Party goers tapped their feet and sang along to their favourites. This band is the perfect accompaniment to a chilled afternoon or evening soirée. We would definitely book these great musicians again!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line up is as follows: Female lead singer, acoustic and electric guitarists, fiddle player, bass player, and drummer.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We will always try our best to be flexible to ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event, just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We offer background music for free through our PA system. Please let us know if you have a type of music genre in mind, and any particular song requests to include.

How much time do you need to set up?

We need 90 minutes to set up equipment including time to sound check. Once equipment is set up, we can provide background music to help set the atmosphere for your guests.

Can you roam around while you perform?

All our equipment will be located on the staging area so the band will stay in that area.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from previous performances, learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

PA and lighting is included in the quote. If the venue is particularly large we may need to review PA requirements and this may affect prices, but in most cases our equipment will be sufficient. We are happy to discuss with you once you've established your chosen venue. The band will need a staging area of approx 7m x 5m, and 4 SEPARATE 13 amp sockets.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times.
