U-Turn - U-Turn Covers Band Kent UK

Rock, Blues and something a bit Funky!

Covers band available for pubs, clubs and functions

If you are looking for a good mixture of rock, blues and some music to dance to at your function, then that’s what U-Turn do.

We have performed over 50 gigs as U-Turn featuring a band of very experienced musicians with years of experience at your disposal to create a memorable show.

Formed by Neil Rigby (lead guitar/vocals) and Chris Bampton (vocals/rhythm guitar) formed with regulars at the Gun & Spitroast Wednesday jam sessions. Playing at least six songs each week with many new ones, we are accumulating a large repertoire of tried and tested songs. We debuted as U-Turn at Marden Village Club on 22nd September 2018.

U-Turn have a regular rhythm section, and now, since 2021, we have percussion available! We have well rehearsed alternatives if availability is an issue. Our gigs often feature guest musicians in the past to add a bit of spice and specialist skills.

We are currently honing up our set list and play rock, blues and funky covers. Generally we play two sets of 45 minutes each – the first to listen to and the second to dance to. We also can do other lengths of gig to suit your needs.
