Don't Look Now are a 4 piece function band from Berkshire. We play a wide variety of tracks from the '60s right up to modern stuff, from Elvis to Ed Sheeran & everything in between! ​We have a large repertoire of over 300 songs from the '60s to the '00s which we have performed at venues ranging from well-known establishments such as Kensington Palace, Lords Cricket Club, Ascot Race Course, The Theatre Royal Windsor & Twickenham Rugby Stadium, to small country pubs & Marquees in back gardens, playing to audiences of all shapes & sizes. We cover mostly British acts, such as The Kinks, The Beatles & The Rolling Stones from the 60's; T-Rex, Rod Stewart, Elton John & Steve Harley from the 70's; Madness, The Jam & Squeeze from the 80's; Paul Weller, Oasis & Radiohead from the 90's & The Stereophonics, Travis, Coldplay & Snow Patrol from the 00's. We can provide you with up to 3 hours of live music & can also put on a disco with lights at no extra cost to keep the party going while the band are having a break, so there would be no need for you to hire a separate DJ. ​If you don't need the full band, we can also perform as a vocal/guitar & sax duo, as a trio or as a solo singer/guitarist. ​Many thanks for taking the time to visit our profile & if you would like any more info on the service we provide, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
