About Second Hand Store

Leeds six piece with a killer line up and a repertoire list to get anyone and everyone dancing! Sax+Keys+Vocals+Drums+Guitar+Bass
Function band
Leeds
Public liability insurance of £1 million

Named after the kind of place you'd be likely to find a raspberry beret, Second Hand Store have one objective: to take a room full of people and have them dancing and singing along to classic and modern soul, pop, Motown RnB, disco and rock hits all the evening and well into the night. Equipped with a full six-piece lineup including saxophone and keys supporting the soulful voice of front-man Rob Gjoka, this determined function band have upwards of two hours of material ready to go at a moments notice. Set highlights include covers by Amy Winehouse, Bee Gees, Bill Withers, Bruno Mars, Beyonce, MJ and co, Jamiroquai, Dua Lipa, Chaka Kahn, Prince, Adele, Candi Staton and more. In their year together they have enjoyed engagements ranging from formal balls to local festivals, bars and graduation celebrations across Yorkshire. Individually, each member has many years of gigging experience on the local music scenes. They are currently based in Leeds having met there as music students (yes, they're qualified). Why choose a six piece? As a six piece, we are a larger lineup than most function bands but offer similar competitive prices to smaller groups. Reasons you may choose to go with a six piece include: The combination of instruments creates a fuller and more dynamic sound that fills the room and captivates the audience. The inclusion of a saxophone in our lineup adds an extra layer of excitement and sophistication to our sound. Visual appeal: the presence of six musicians on stage adds a visually striking element to the performance, elevating the overall entertainment experience. Versatility: A six-piece band can effortlessly switch between various musical styles, ensuring a diverse and engaging performance that appeals to guests with different tastes. Don't worry about space issues and accommodating six musicians in your venue! We have performed on stages big and small and once managed to fit the entire band under a single (big-ish) umbrella for a string of performances. We are very excited to offer our services to all sorts of events, from weddings to corporate events and would love to engage with you about how we can make your event special.

I couldn’t have asked for a better band to celebrate my 30th birthday with. From start to finish they were brilliant! They spoke direct with the venue in order to sort everything they needed. The set list was spot on and they even let me make a few special requests that really made the evening! The bands quality and sound were excellent! If anyone ever needs a band to attend an event I will always recommend Second Hand Store! Thanks again for a cracking time!

We booked Second Hand Store to play at our local village festival as the final act of the day and they didn’t disappoint! The village was left shouting for “more” even after the encore. Great set of kids, pleasure to deal with before and after the event, and we hope to see them again the future. R Darrington Worrall Gala and Festival

Second Hand Store performed as part of the University of Leeds' esteemed concert series, and their energy, professionalism and musical ability shone through. I would not hesitate to recommend the band to anyone searching for a function band for their event.

Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-audititioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line-up is as follows: Vocals, Guitar, Keys, Drums, Bass, Sax. We may add other instruments such as more horns per request.

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

We always try our best to be flexible to help 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?

In between our sets we are happy to provide a hand selected mix of background music from a device to keep the atmosphere going!

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 2 hours before the performance time. However, this can be flexible depending on the venue.

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

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event. We are more than happy to play specific songs on request for special occasion such as 'First Dances' and Wedding Aisle walks!

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

Our PA and lighting system is included in your quote.

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.
