80s tribute band

Bradford

Public liability insurance of £1 million

Welcome to the , musically persuasive, world of The PERSUADERS where big beats, mega hits, singalongs and synth sounds, and rock anthems are all pervasive. We are a 4 piece fully live band with a professional sound system and lights that will enhance any event. Our set list consists mostly of 80s hits but we also play a well chosen selection of evergreen chart toppers from other decades; this ensures that there is music to suit all tastes at our shows. ( set list attached) We have tailored our set to cater for a full range of events from corporate, to private celebrations, and weddings. Our goal is to provide the energy that fills the dance floor and has all your friends and guests dancing and singing along. Special song requests (for example, first dances) can be included if we are given reasonable notice. We can also provide background music to enliven the time between our live sets.

The Persuaders' Reviews

Thank you Persuaders for helping our annual Cullingworth Crickets to be an outstanding success. Your set was brilliant and had the crowd jumping. See you again, next year.

Saw you at the Crickfest and your opening number, She sells Sanctuary, blew me away - so powerful! The rest of the set just got better.
