Information

The RockBudz is a 4 piece band with the classic line up of lead, rhythm, bass guitars and drummer with up to three of them covering all lead and backing vocals.

They offer a full Sixties Act which includes classic covers by artists such as The Beatles; Elvis Presley; Cliff Richard; The Shadows; The Searchers; Ricky Nelson; Billy Fury, and many more, exclusively covering that golden decade. This can extend if necessary throughout the 70s and into the 80s featuring songs by Smokie; The Eagles; Rod Stewart; Lynyrd Skynyrd: Dire Straits; REM; Oasis; Doobie Bros and Stone Roses. Additionally where necessary a more hard hitting blend of Rock‘n’Roll, Rock Classics, Soul and R&B can be incorporated.

The RockBudz’ are an exclusive, exciting and lively act that will give audiences plenty of scope for feet tapping, dancing or alternatively just simply relaxing and listening. The act is totally self-contained and they provide all their own top quality equipment and instruments, including lighting. Continuous music can be provided for interval periods if required. Playing times are flexible and they offer excellent value for money

A duo version of the band is also available. This may be either as a fully electrified act with a rhythm box or in complete acoustic mode with just acoustic guitars, mandolin and harmonica. Backing tracks or sequencing are never used.

The song list is flexible and it can vary quite a lot depending on the situation as the duo has well over 200 songs to choose from with about 80 of those being suitable for the 4 piece line up.
