JOIN !daft!

Band Description

!daft! is a well-established and successful rock, pop and party cover band primarily performing for private events but also a number of public/venue gigs and festivals throughout the year. The band is booked well into the future (2020 is filled) and averages 60-70 gigs per year. We meet 1-2 times per month for rehearsal and planning purposes typically in the Maidenhead, Berkshire area. We are a 5-piece band featuring 2 guitars, bass, vocals and drums. We own all our own equipment.

We perform party hits from The Beatles to Black Eyed Peas – you can see a general repertoire on the Song List page. Our job is to provide a party for our clients so we aim to select tracks that play to the band’s strengths, get most people dancing and create the best atmospheres.

Other than that we are a group of incredibly friendly and supportive people and we cannot wait to welcome you into the band.
