About

The Chip Shop Boys have been providing high-quality entertainment in the UK and abroad for nearly 30 years. Their clients, including some high-profile celebrities, have showered the band with praise following consistently outstanding performances.

Over the years, their management and band members have demonstrated that they are really a cut above the rest. They are widely regarded as one of the UK's best rock and pop cover bands. Owning a vast amount of audio, lighting and stage equipment, the boys have entertained at a wide variety of events from large-scale public events, awards ceremonies, and corporate parties all the way down to small, intimate weddings, birthdays, and private functions.

  • Each gig that we do is tailored to our customers' needs. We work more as an entertainment partner with our clients to ensure that we hit the mark and provide a unique experience every time. We don't just turn up and play!
  • We have entertained at a wide variety of events, from large-scale public events, awards ceremonies, and corporate parties, all the way down to small, intimate weddings, birthdays, and private functions. We are able to provide 4, 5 and 7-piece bands, which allows us to accommodate any size of event.
  • We are zero fuss. We don't have any extensive riders or requirements. We turn up suited, booted and ready to provide an unforgettable performance!
  • We provide our own DJ, who will keep the party going before the band starts, during any breaks, and after the band has finished. This takes one more thing off our clients' plates!
  • We are able to either work with our clients' AV solutions or provide our own and be completely self-sufficient!
  • We don't need to do extensive soundchecks. Our DJ also doubles up as a sound engineer and will tweak our sound on the night if required. But we have a load of pre-made show files which operate from our state-of-the-art wireless mixing desk.
  • We have our own roadies who will come and set up the main equipment for the band. This means we can accommodate setup times that work for our clients, whether that means setting up in advance or quick and seamless turnarounds. We are happy to work with venues, clients and planners to make sure we are where we need to be, when we are needed to be there.
  • We provide an absolutely electric atmosphere with high-energy songs played by some of the best session musicians in the industry! Our musicians absolutely love what they do, and this shows in how they approach every performance. They thrive off of crowd responses, so our only aim on the night - get as many people dancing, singing along and rocking out with us
  • As well as our core team, we also have access to nearly 30 professional, high-quality musicians! This means we can accommodate specialist performances as well as ever missing a gig. We always turn up, and we always provide quality. 30 years of vetting 30 top-notch musicians means that we always steal the show and make sure our audiences leave with a night to remember!
