Renowned for our 3 part harmonies and attention to detail we'll wow your crowd with our eclectic and classic set list. From The Kinks, The Who, Harry Styles, Frankie Valli, Duo Lipa, The Beatles, Simple Minds, Fleetwood Mac and many many more, our set list guarantees a very happy dance floor with something for everyone. If you're looking for a band playing something different (we don't do the overplayed cover tracks such as Dakota, Sex On Fire, Valarie etc), then look no further. We're also 100% live. Not a backing track in sight. So if you want more guitar solos we can give you just that! We're simply 5 polite chaps, with over 120 years of pro music experience between us, who love to play and love that buzz only an audience can give.

The Cherry Beats' Reviews

‘Everyone loved you - the vibe you created, your choice of songs, your energy, the way you appealed to all ages, and you all just slotted right in with us and made a massive contribution to ensuring Eli and Hywel's wedding was fantastic! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed dancing to your songs and everyone was talking about the brilliant band and how awesome you were’. By Sali & Alan - Coelbren

'Thank you gentlemen. We have been saying the past few days how incredible you all were. We can't thank you enough for being such an important part of our day and your version of our first dance song was incredible’. By Beth & Iain, Kings Arms Hotel, Abergavenny

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The detail, the 3 part harmonies, the strength of each of the band members abilities, how we gel and how much fun we have and how much we love playing really comes across.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Celtic Manor, Newport National Museum of Wales, Cardiff Chepstow Racecourse, Monmouthshire National Waterfront Museum, Swansea Assembly Rooms, Bath Rhosygilwen, Cilgerran The Grove, Narberth Newburgh Priory, North Yorkshire Margam Park Orangery, Port Talbot Quantock Lakes, Bridgewater Warton Farm, Oxford A Wedding bell tent in Truro during a cyclone ;)

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

When we first started in 2009 we were a 50s and 60s cover band as we all had a massive love of the era. Overtime we've had people request certain genres......80s and 90s etc so we've slowly morphed in to covering 50s to modern day but we still choose the tracks carefully and stay away from the common tracks you hear everyone play.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

We were booked to play a wedding in Newburgh Priory, North Yorkshire. Absolute stunning venue. It was only when we checked in to the hotel that we realised we had just played for Norwegian royalty!

Do you have different line-up options?

Not at the moment. In the future we hope to add an option for a female vocalist to sing alongside our main vocalist.

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?

Both of our packages include full use of our PA system to play your playlist(s) through. You'd just plug in your phone, Laptop etc (we have the correct leads) and away you go.

How much time do you need to set up?

It usually takes us around 1 to 1.5 hours to fully set up the PA, lighting and to soundcheck.

Can you roam around while you perform?

We have a little bop on stage but we're very much attached to our instruments so wouldn't want to cause any hazards on the dance floor.

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.

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

Our PA and lighting system is included in your quote. We usually require a minimum of 5m x 4m space to perform

Can you learn song requests before the event?

With our 'All Star' package we can learn a track of your choice (given sufficient notice). We're not only perfectionists but we're also very busy so rehearsals are spread out throughout the year. Sufficient notice is really important when learning requests.
