What is Rhythm and Shoes all about?

We simply love to sing cover versions of popular and some lesser known, but equally great songs from the 60's to today.

Our set is all about finding great songs to sing and sometimes this makes us a little different to most covers bands. Some are upbeat, sing-along, toe-tapping classics and some are gentle, chilled out numbers. There's always something in there for everyone. Our favourites include Sting, Simon & Garfunkel, The Civil Wars, Seal, Nancy Sinatra, Fairground Attraction, Roxette...... and the list keeps growing. We don't use backing tracks, the whole performance is live. So if you like simple, no nonsense acoustic music and harmony singing come and check us out.

We play all sorts of venues from pub gardens, to bars, to restaurants and the occasional festival stage.

Now for the techie bit: We gig with a full range PA suitable for indoor and outdoor events. (We are waterproof but our kit is not. If you are booking an outdoor gig be sure to have a bad weather contingency plan as we do not play in the rain with risk to our equipment). We're happy to use other people's kit for larger festival or charity based events as long as you also provide a sound tech.

We also host open mic nights in the local area and would love you to come and join us creating music in a friendly, welcoming and always appreciative environment.

All are encouraged and respected. No minimum standards required. Come and have a go.

If you come to one of our open mic nights we can provide you with microphones and mic stands (2 or 3) or you can bring your own if you prefer. We welcome lots of instruments, but politely, not drum kits as they take a long time to set up and we like everyone to get a turn.

We're looking forward to sharing lots of live music with you all very soon.

Please send us a message if you want to get in touch or have any questions about booking us, upcoming gigs or open mics nights.
