Under Cover – Stripped-back, soulful, and seriously versatile. 

 An acoustic duo formed by guitarist/vocalist Ben Steer and vocalist/percussionist Samantha Hobson, Under Cover offers a fresh spin on everything from The Cure to Lizzo, Adele to The Eagles. Whether it's a classic anthem or a current chart-topper, if you love it, chances are we play it – with heart, harmony, and plenty of vibe.

The Waltzing Bumble Bee Blues Band is a 5-piece group consisting of: Eddie, our frontman and vocalist, Lee on lead guitar, Paul on rhythm guitar and vocals, Mike on drums and for this occasion, Adam on bass guitar. Based in Loughborough, we play a mix of rhythm & blues and classic rock numbers that you will either know or be reminded of.
