About The Romanzas

Wedding band
Poole
Public liability insurance of £2 million

The Romanzas are an experienced party and event band playing your favourite Pop, Indie and Rock hits. Formed in 2020, lifelong friends Lionel Cutmore (Vocals, Bass), Dan Minshull (Vocals, Guitar), Pye Kassiri (Guitar, Vocals) and Mark McComish (Drums, Vocals) bring to life beloved songs from the last six decades. They are a group of seasoned and young-spirited musicians with many years of musical experience. The well-rehearsed group of accomplished professionals is showcased by tight harmonies, a rock solid rhythm section and soaring lead guitar. The Romanzas draw on a diverse setlist that not only includes cover band standards, but also many popular songs which are overlooked by most of the retrospective bands out there today. Their high-energy shows are rounded out with professional sound equipment that can cover any size event from intimate venues or small pubs to grand ballrooms and outdoor concerts. Currently one of the most popular function bands in the area, The Romanzas are perfectly suited towards a range of events including parties, wedding receptions and corporate events. We are more than happy to work with you to plan all of the details of your event to make sure it is exactly how you envision it and our price also includes learning one special song that may be personal to you. Included in our quoted price is professional sound and light equipment that can cover any size venue for your event. All of our travel costs are also included. If you’d be interested in a DJ service to keep your guests dancing after the set, we’re happy to offer this for an additional £100. Below is a small selection of testimonials from people who have watched us play over the last year or so: Becky K: "The Romanzas rock! From the moment they took the stage, it was clear that this band is something special. Their setlist was a perfect mix of classic hits and modern favorites, ensuring that there was something for everyone. Each song was performed with incredible energy and precision, capturing the essence of the original while adding their own unique twist. What truly stood out was their ability to engage the audience. They had everyone dancing and singing along, creating an electric atmosphere that made the night unforgettable. If you’re looking for a covers band that delivers an authentic and exhilarating live music experience, look no further than The Romanzas. They are a must-see for any music lover!" Phil P: "From Grand parents to Grand Kids there's a tune for everyone. Great band, check them out" Ross Diamond: "Great bunch of dudes rocking out some classics!! They sound awesome and do the songs you love justice!" Here are a few of the artists you can expect to hear at the next Romanzas show: Prince, The Beatles, David Bowie, Arctic Monkeys, Jimi Hendrix, The Human League, Oasis, The Strokes, Supergrass, T-Rex, Elvis Costello and so many more.

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 x 2, Bass and Drums. We can also provide a female vocalist for some songs on request.

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

We are quite flexible as we want to make your event work for everyone. We just ask that you give as much notice as possible and we will try our best we can to fulfil your required changes.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £100.

How much time do you need to set up?

2 hours.

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?

Included in our quoted price is professional sound and light equipment that can cover any size venue for your event. All of our travel costs are also included.

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. Our quoted price also includes learning one special song that may be personal to you.
