We are a UK-based cover band playing crowd-pleasing songs from golden oldies up to current day hits across UK & Europe in summertime and South East Asia in the winter

First & Foremost, we are ENTERTAINERS and our primary goal is for the audience to have a great time and to leave them with a wholly positive experience of the event and of the venue.

We are Siubhan (vocals) and Mark (bass) and from Adele to Peggy Lee, we’ve got it covered.

So whether you’re a pub, music bar, holiday venue in UK or Europe or have a private event, contact us now for bookings through 2024 into 2025.

We are currently playing in South East Asia but will be returning to the UK in April 2024.

We will then take a break to evolve our act and to learn new songs from the last year to keep our show fresh and relevant.

We will be trying some of these out in the UK over the summer months but will are now taking bookings for UK, France & Spain for August and September 2024.

We hope to see you at one of our shows.

DJ Set

We pair our live act with an option for a DJ set to provide a cost-saving total entertainment package that can be customised to suit your venue or event.

Mark is an experienced DJ with an extensive and up-to-date catalogue of songs designed to fill the dancefloor.

He specialises in Funk, Soul & Disco but also has a good knowledge of more niche genres such as Northern Soul or Acid Jazz.

PACKAGES

All of our packages are custom made to suit the event, and costs vary with factors such as travel distance & time but typically they follow one of the formats suggested here.

Contact us to discuss your requirements and we will happily put together a quote for you.

We are fully self-contained with all equipment including lights and a PA system up to 2200W to fill medium size venues.

We prefer to arrve early, set-up and complete sound checks before any guests arrive.

1: Live Show

This package is most often booked by bars and restaurants that have and established music culture and are looking for an evening’s entertainment.

3 x 45 minute sets over a 3 hour period
- E.g. 20:00 – 23:00

2: Live Show & DJ

This is similar to the Live Show above but is better suited to venues that have a dance floor. This is particularly popular with holiday venues where people are in a party mood.

The Live Show for this set-up would typically finish earlier and allow time for dancing to the DJ set.

2 x 45 minute live show sets over a 2 hour period
- E.g. 20:00 – 22:00
DJ from 22:00 to midnight

It is also possible to start the Live Show earlier and have 3 sets

3: Full Evening of Entertainment

Popular with restaurants on holiday sites and events such as weddings, this set-up includes all of the above but also background music over dinner.

A typical evening might be:

Background Music over cocktails/dinner from 18:00
2 or 3 set Live Show from 20:00
Dancing with the DJ until midnight or 1am

Equipment

We pride ourselves in the professionalism of our show and that includes the equipment that we use.

At the heart of our set up is our stereo PA System of 2 x Yamaha Stagepas 1K MkII Line Array units driven my an autonomous Yamaha MG series professional mix desk.

These compact PA units take minial floor space yet give wide 170º coverage to deliver the audio more evenly than a pair of speakers.

Not only are the 2 units of 1100W each capable of filling medium size venues but multiple units with wide coverage also allow us to turn down the volume whilst still ensuring that the sound reaches all parts of the audience with confidence.

But we also have the capability to take a direct feed from our mixer into the house PA if available.

Similarly, our DJ set-up is state of the art Pioneer hardware refreshed in 2023 coupled to a collection of approximately 3000 tracks.

We arrive with lights but we can also plug into and control house lighting, if available.

We do not run a back line of amplifiers and we use IEM to give us the widest range of options and the ability to operate at low volumes if required.

PROFIT GENERATION

and cost-saving from contra-trading

We are always conscious that booking us costs money and that it can take a lot of additional turnover to generate the profit needed.

We understand the very close relationship between enjoyment and wet sales and we want our performance to support your business.

But also, we travel extensively through Europe to our venues and we are always receptive to a conversation where part of our costs are paid in bar, restaurant and/or accommodation credit.

ABOUT US

The core of Chase the 28 is Siubhan and Mark Litherland but we regularly have other guest musicians for shows.

Where we cannot have other musicians we record music tracks in our home studio and in collaboration with other artists.

Our philosophy is a strong belief that our primary responsibility is to entertain our client’s guests, be that a bar, holiday camp or an event such as a wedding.

Our DJ set-up follows the same philosophy and is intended to complement the live show and provide a cost-effective package for an evening of total entertainment.

Our live show catalogue of songs is varied with such crowd-pleasers that range from Have You Ever Seen The Rain? to Miley Cyrus’ 2023 blockbuster, Flowers.

In the summertime, we tour the UK and the holiday destinations of Europe and, in the winter months, you can find us based in Bangkok as a hub to tour South East Asia.

We like to be where it is 28ºC
