Full Biography
The Substitutes; playing all your favourite songs, and playing them like they mean it!
This band deliver their live sets with energy, spirit, commitment and with the emphasis firmly on a good time to be had by all.
Every song The Substitutes play is an iconic track that everyone will know the words to; songs that'll keep the atmosphere jumping all night.
A 4-piece line up with 2 guitars, bass and drums lends itself to covering more guitar based music, so the song list leans towards popular classic pop, pop/rock, Britpop, some classic soul/R&B, indie, plus a good helping of good old party tunes too.
The band's 'typical' set consists of 2 x 45min sets, however of course we will always consult with you to create the best schedule for your bespoke event.
Give your guests, or clients, a great night out. Book The Substitutes for your party, wedding, corporate event or festival.
Lineup
Default lineup: 4 members
4 Piece Band: Lead singer and Guitar, Lead Guitarist and Backing vox, Bass guitarist and Backing vox and Drums.
Please note that due to international touring / session commitments, this artist does not use a fixed line up of members. Whilst the majority of members featured in the promotional materials should match those who perform at your event, this cannot be guaranteed. All members used by the band are of equal quality and changes in members should in no way effect the standard or content of the performance.

Jayne T booked The Substitutes for their event
“I recently booked The Substitutes for my 40th birthday and they were incredible! I was able to select the songs I wanted from their extensive play list which included many classic crowd pleasers. They had the whole room up dancing for the whole set and made the night for me. Set up and communication before the party was faultless and they disassembled their equipment quickly and without issue, not impacting on the DJ that followed them. Can’t thank the band enough for making my birthday so memorable xx”
Definitely recommend to anyone!
