Ignite Marlborough NYE Party: CoverStory "was wonderful to work with - from planning to the actual event, the band was exceptionally professional and performed to an incredibly high calibre. The set list was perfect, with every member of the audience dancing and singing along with them. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again."

Wellington Wine & Food Festival: CoverStory "played a great selection of popular covers with very short gaps between songs which helped keep people on the dance floor. The band were very easy to deal with, professional, on time & very good musicians. I would highly recommend this band to anyone needing a top covers band for any event."

Couldn't recommend highly enough."
