Versus
Versus are a dynamic and energetic three-piece band, covering music from all genres. The band is presently known as one of the hottest live acts on the London gig circuit and have been playing together for 10 years now. Between the three-piece band, they have worked with many a star, including Blondie, Motorhead, Queens Of The Stone Age, Toto and many more. Versus have played in some of the best known club venues in London, including Fabric, Cargo, The Roadhouse and Jewel Bar. They have also performed in some of the most prestigious London Hotels, such as Clarridges, The Four Seasons and The Mandarin Oriental.
The three-piece is made up of Jack, lead singer, Rupert, drums and backing vocals, and Tracey, bass and backing vocals. Jack and Rupert are both qualified sound engineers, which enables the band to alter their equipment to any room or space, ensuring the music sounds perfect. They also go as far as to EQ the room itself, meaning any unwanted frequencies are removed from the sound quality. The band is very experienced in working with sensitive sound meters, using an electronic drum kit if volume needs to be contained. The band provide up to a 5k rig and full lighting system at every event.
Versus have a residency gig in Covent Garden most Thursdays. Come down and enjoy the music, atmos and meet the guys who are most happy to answer any questions or advice on your coming event.

Versus were totally fantastic, from the moment they got on stage they had everyone dancing and played classics that appealed to all ages. We have had great feedback from our wedding guests, all of whom were very impressed; I cannot thank the band enough, a perfect end to a perfect day.

I had to drop a line to you after you recommended �Versus� to me for my 50th party on the 9th July 11, THANK YOU. They were absolutely fantastic,musically they were spot on and in Jack they have a very very good lead vocalist whose versatility and sound was �right up there�!, as one guest said there�s not many who could do justice to James Brown. I even had neighbors who were not at the party telling me what a fantastic sound was coming from our garden that evening, one even offering that he preferred them to a That That concert he had attended 2 weeks previously, although we do appreciate that this does depend on your particular musical genre preference, but nevertheless, what a tribute to a thoroughly entertaining and professional group. Rupert was very helpful during pre-party discussions and now I know that when he said �Don,don�t worry, we are good� he wasn�t �banging his own drums� for no good reason!!We would book Versus again and recommend them to anybody who wants a band who plays with that extra Edge!!
�Versus" were exactly the right band for our Awards evening. The guys were very amenable, well presented and excellent musicians.
The dance floor was packed all night which is the best testimonial a band can have and several directors commented that we should keep their details for future functions.
Excellent music creating a fabulous atmosphere, a good time had by all so thank you very much!�
