Frequently Asked Questions

A collective band, often referred to simply as a "collective," is a unique musical ensemble where the members come together on a project-by-project basis rather than being a fixed, permanent group. It is a flexible and dynamic concept that allows musicians with different backgrounds and styles to collaborate and perform together for specific events or periods.

No, The Cove Club do not offer the option to choose a specific male or female singer.

Why can't we choose a specific male or female singer? As a collective band, we pride ourselves on promoting a collaborative and adaptable approach to music. While we understand the desire for personal preferences, our strength lies in our ability to bring together talented musicians who complement each other's styles and create a cohesive and harmonious sound. Rotating our members allows us to maintain versatility and consistently deliver high-quality performances.

What if we've seen a particular singer perform with your band and want them for our event? We appreciate you might have enjoyed a specific singer's performance. However, the collective nature of our group means that our lineup may change from project to project. Our commitment is to provide you with an exceptional musical experience, and we assure you that all of our singers are highly skilled and capable of delivering memorable performances.

The collective band model offers several advantages. Firstly, it allows for a rich pool of talent, fostering creativity and fresh ideas by bringing together musicians with diverse influences. Secondly, it enables the band to adapt to different venue sizes, requirements, and musical styles or themes for various events. Lastly, it gives musicians the freedom to pursue other projects without being tied to a single band.

FPM Music Management will always endeavour to send the band members pictured on our website to your wedding or event.
