The Karens' Reviews

From customers:

R
Ryan

Didn’t expect to be belting out Don’t Stop Believin’ and Rescue Me on a Friday night in Camden, but The Karens made it impossible not to. Proper energy, slick transitions, and powerful vocals.

S
Simon

I was sceptical about another covers band — but The Karens aren’t just tight, they’ve got serious energy. Crowd was buzzing from the first note to the last encore. Easy Lover was a vibe.

Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line-up is as follows: Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Keys, Drums. We are a powerhouse 5 piece outfit.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

This is a really popular request and if you'd like to provide a DJ service via our PA before the set starts and after the final set until the venue closes, we can facilitate this for an additional fee.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works setwise for your event.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Supplying a PA system is an extra add-on to your basic quote. We usually require a minimum of 4m by 2m space to perform. We do not offer to supply a lighting system.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £60 for this service to take into account rehearsal times and studio rental etc.
