About NOTA

One of the top Rock Covers bands in the South West playing a foot tapping, dance and sing along catalogue of songs that will make your event
Cover band
Radstock
Public liability insurance of £1 million

Having formed in 2010 as a group of guys who just love playing music and entertaining people, we have developed a catalogue of rock, rock'n'roll and other hits which can bring that special touch to any occasion. We have a quality sound and light rig which provides a platform to make any occasion special. We pride ourselves in not only the music we play but also the way in which we engage and entertain guests and this is the backbone of all that we do. We can accommodate venues small or large and always do our best to put together a show that will fit our clients requirements and are able to turn our hand to most music genres although we specialise in Rock. Our standard booking tends to include 2 x 45-60 min plus background music in between sets but we can alter our mix to suit your needs. We can also provide DJ and compare services at an additional cost. We have played at Pubs, Outdoor Festivals, Private Parties and we have even provided musical accompaniment for local Pantomimes - this means that we are able to flex our style to meet most requirements. If there are particular songs or genres you’d like us to include, with enough notice, we can accommodate them for you.

We booked NOTA for our 25+ years company celebration event and their performance was excellent. The contact with Chris was also very good and enabled us to ensure their part of the event went smoothly. We can recommend them highly if you want a good classic rock band covering the range from 60's to current tracks.

Fantastic five piece band who played two great sets at our wedding reception. They were brilliant and even included a few special requests by us. I would definitely recommend this great band. Thank you Chris and the rest of N.O.T.A for making our night.

NOTA played for my husbands surprise 40th birthday party 2weeks ago at very short notice due to being let down last minute! Chris was excellent with communicating to arrange and organise the booking, taking note of all that we wanted, the guys were punctual and professional and really kept the party going even having to work outside of their comfort zones due to sickness within their own band, but they didn’t want to let us down! They were great, listened and responded to the crowd couldn’t have asked for better highly recommend.

NOTA were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Before the event, they had brilliant communication and attention to detail. On the day, they liaised well with the venue and we’re fully set up and ready by the agreed time. The quality of their music was brilliant and they certainly got everyone dancing! We were still going at almost midnight and all my guests commented on how great they were and what a fantastic selection of music they played! Highly recommend NOTA for an all round brilliant experience with great musicians! Thanks so much
