What do you get when 5 musically frustrated dreamers that never really grew up, go out for a beer? A shiny new cover band… meet Gloss.  Singer Angie Childs comes from more than a decade of solo, duo and trio work, and is excited to be fronting a 5-piece band.

“I love all the music I do, but there’s something special about being in the ‘engine room’ of a five-piece band. There’s a huge power there I’m just a bit hooked on, to be honest”

Gloss’ song choices are driven by the band’s playing strengths and the need to get everyone up dancing. 

“We have a great time together off and on stage and we work hard to make everyone on the dance floor have an even better time”

The songs of choice tend to fall in the 1970s and 1980s, but with a focus on songs that open themselves up to some tweaks. “We’re an authentic rock band and we apply that to some fun songs that you otherwise may not hear at a gig. “

Whether it’s ‘Yacht Rock’ with a large horsepower motor strapped to the back, 1980s pop and dance songs with guitars front and centre, or a stadium rocker with all the bells and whistles, it’s all up for grabs.

“We went into this determined to avoid backing tracks and it’s given us the freedom to play great songs in a way that keeps people dancing and singing.”

If you’re interested in booking us, please read the information below and then if you think we’re the right fit, do drop us a line and let’s chat!

What sort of music do you play?

We’re all about the 1970s to early 1990s. We play everything from the Baby Animals to Van Halen. We do play some ‘softer songs’ but our repertoire is rock music that keeps the dance floor going.

What sort of events will you play?

We mostly play clubs and larger pubs as well as ticketed and corporate events. We take pride in high quality production, so we’re not really suited to small venues unfortunately.

Will you play at my 40th / 50th / 60th birthday party?

We are happy to chat on this, and always feel free to get in touch, but just be aware that we need to have a fairly spacious, indoor / covered space with excellent power access etc. That said, we can also recommend other bands / duos / trios that might be a better fit if we can’t do it ourselves. Get in touch if in any doubt.

How much do you charge?

We know it’s not a super helpful answer, but it depends. We do have a high-level production approach and that comes at a cost. It also depends on the date / time etc. Have a chat with us and we can look at the detail of your needs.
