So no one told you life was gonna to be this way….that one day you were going going to hire a 90’s Themed Wedding Band. Did you know such things even existed? Well you do now. ‘Britpop Reunion‘ are experts in 90’s weddings. This is actual reason that we set the band up back in 2014. We saw a massive gap in the market and tailored the songs of the band around what you’d definitely want for your nineties theme wedding band. We lived through the nineties, so surely we’re your best option when booking a 90s wedding band. Contact band leader Andre Starkey to check on price and availability for your party to hire a band for your 90s wedding. 

What music do you want your 90’s themed wedding band to perform?

Big Oasis numbers like Don’t Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall. Huge Blur songs like Parklife, Country House and Song 2. Then how about Ironic by Alanis Morissette and Baby One More Time by Britney Spears. What about some one hit wonders like Breakfast At Tiffany’s by Deep Blue Something  and The One & Only by Chesney Hawkes? Throw in some Robbie Williams, the Theme Tune To Friends and thats the 90’s right there isn’t it. THAT sounds like the best nineties themed wedding ever doesn’t it. We’ll give you all this and so much more on your special day. No other 90’s covers band brings you all this and we even have smiles on our faces too. 

Videos proving our credentials as the UK’s best nineteen nineties wedding band.

Do you want a wedding like below clients Natalie & Jamie? They are crazy mad for 90’s music and we’re guessing you must be mad for it too.  Watch as the bride, groom and guests of all ages lose it to our live performances. All audio on all of our videos is 100% live from the wedding too so you know your big day will look and sound this great as well.

Or maybe you’re going for the DIY 90s festival themed wedding that Claire & James did? Do you know what? They told us it cost them a LOT less money to hire the grounds and everything else than it would have done hiring a proper wedding venue. Food for thought eh? So why not have the lavish 90’s wedding you’ve always dreamed of at a price that wont bankrupt you for the rest of your life.

Natalie & Jamie’s 90’s wedding was such an amazing time that we also created this photo montage video for them as they took advantage of our evening photographer services (Just ask about this when enquiring)

Britpop musician Andy Starkey recorded and shot this Laid James Cover Version video for his 90’s tribute band Britpop Reunion. To hire a live Britpop cover band then book the UK’s only professional band ‘Britpop Reunion’. Contact Andy to also hire a professional nineties cover band for a party or festival. Enjoy our James Laid cover song below and ask yourself if any other Brit pop tribute band have bothered (Or could even begin to know how) to produce anything of this magnitude. (The answer’s “No” by the way).

Laid James Cover Version Video

With this James Laid song Andy worked on the idea of the band trying to keep the audio as close to the original recording as possible. Therefore Britpop Reunion faithfully replicated every guitar lick, bass note, exact drum pattern and keyboard part. Andy then also went on to direct and star in this self produced music video for James Laid cover version. It was filmed on the abandoned train track at Lichfield Staffordshire on the South Staffordshire Line. Is the video below not loading? Then why not view it on our 90’s YouTube channel. Imagine the effort this kind of audio and video takes to faithfully reproduce. It took many, many weeks to record, mix, film and edit.

James tribute band?

Britpop Reunion also perform a number of songs by James the band. So perhaps you could even call us a James Tribute Band of sorts. We also perform Sit Down (released numerous times by the band) and from time to time occasionally perform She’s A Star from Whiplash released 1997.

Laid was released November 1993 from the album of the same name ‘Laid’ peaking at number 25 in the UK charts. But it gained the band huge success in the USA on college radio also being featured towards the end of the nineties in the film ‘American Pie’. Can you believe that there are three official videos by the band for this song? Laid Album (Produced by Brian Eno) also features the singles Sometimes and Say Something / Jam J. The album sounds as Fresh As A Daisy today as when it was released in the 1990’s. The song Laid by James is a very easy to master featuring only three different chords played as:

Chords for Laid by James

C – Csus4 – G – F – G

Lyrics for Laid by James.

Verse 1
This bed is on fire with passionate love,
The neighbours complain about the noises above,
But she only comes when she’s on top.

Verse 2
My therapist said not to see you no more,
She said you’re like a disease without any cure,
She said I’m so obsessed that I’m becoming a bore, oh no,
Ah, you think you’re so pretty.

Chorus
E-e-ee

Bridge
Caught your hand inside the till, Slammed your fingers in the door,
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers,
Dressed me up in women’s clothes, Messed around with gender roles,
Line my eyes and call me pretty.

Chorus
E-e-ee

Verse 3
Moved out of the house so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You’re driving me crazy, When are you coming home?

Laid, Laid

Chorus
E-e-ee

Laid James Cover Song – List of James musicians who recorded Laid were:

• Tim Booth – Lead Vocals
• Saul Davies – Violin & Guitar
• Larry Gott – Guitar
• Mark Hunter- Keyboards
• Jim Glennie – Bass Guitar
• David Baynton-Power – drums
• James Mike – Drums

Who sang Laid?

Laid was sang by Tim Booth by the band James.

Who wrote Laid?

Laid was written by Tim Booth, Larry Gott and also Jim Glennie for the Manchester band James. As with a number of James albums it was produced by Brian Eno.  Did you know there is also a “Clean radio edit” of Laid by James too? The lyrics “She only comes when she’s on top” are changed to “She only SINGS when she’s on top”.

What is Laid about?

The song Laid by James tells the story of a couple who annoy the neighbours with their loud love making. Tim Booth sings about the domestic violence between the two and their hatred of each. But (As with most relationships) it turns out the couple can’t actually live with, or without each other. Maybe this was set in mid 90’s Moss Side, Manchester? If not there then where do you think possibly?

James also continue to tour live in 2022 and 2023 for their 16th studio album “All the Colours of You”.

Subtitles for Laid.

Some lovely folks have translated Laid into various different languages for us including Portuguese, German, Mexican Spanish and English of course. So hopefully you’ll be able to sing along in your preferred language too. If you’d like to add a language to our cover song then please contact Andy and he’ll add them onto the video.

Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer cover by premium 90s tribute band Britpop Reunion performed live at a sell out ticketed event. Hire a nineties cover band for your wedding, birthday, corporate event, party, festival and more. Contact band leader and bass player Andy Starkey to check on price and availability.

Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer cover

This song is still played literally everywhere in the UK. It’s in the ether, on the radio, in supermarkets, on TV. You might not consciously clock it, but your brain does. That’s exactly what makes it stick, and that’s why nineties cover band Britpop Reunion play it live.

Written by Matt Slocum and released in 1999 from the band’s self-titled album, Kiss Me reached number four in the UK Singles Chart. It’s one of those tracks that sounds deceptively simple on the surface, gentle guitar, warm vocals, unhurried tempo yet it absolutely fills a room when played live. There’s a real magic to it that doesn’t fade no matter how many times people hear it.

The story behind how Kiss Me became a phenomenon is worth looking up if you’ve never heard it. Sixpence None the Richer were a relatively unknown American Christian rock band before this track exploded globally. The song had actually been shelved before a TV placement gave it a second life and from there it became inescapable. That kind of accidental ubiquity is rare, and it says a lot about the song itself.

Kiss Me as a first dance song

Kiss Me is about as close to the perfect first dance song as the nineties produced. Soft enough to feel genuinely romantic, well-known enough that every single person in the room recognises it immediately, and just left-field enough to feel like a real choice rather than a default. If you’re planning a 90s themed wedding, it belongs on your shortlist without question.

Britpop Reunion have performed Kiss Me at 90s weddings and private events for years. It never fails. Guests who thought they’d just watch suddenly find themselves on the dancefloor before the first chorus is done. That’s the power of a song that’s genuinely embedded itself into a generation’s memory without anyone really noticing it happening.

Performed live at festival

Hire Britpop Reunion for your event

Britpop Reunion have been performing together since 2014 and know how to make any crowd feel like they’re right back in the 1990s. From intimate Britpop wedding receptions to large-scale festivals, the band brings the full nineties live experience, period clothing, the right guitars, the right sound and a repertoire packed with songs people genuinely love.

Kiss Me sits perfectly alongside the big Britpop and 90s set, working as a mood-setter, a wind-down moment mid-set, or the first dance itself. Whatever you need, get in touch with Andy Starkey to check on price and availability for your event.

‘Britpop Reunion‘ live performance of Britney Spears ‘Baby One More Time” in our very own rock cover version style. This song was performed as well as another ninety minutes of nineties chart topping songs in front of two thousand plus screaming students at University of Exeter, Penryn Campus.  Back in 2017 Britpop Reunion were hired by the university for their ‘Back to The 90’s’ event.  Consequently we headlined the Saturday night. As you’ll see from the video below the students and faculty all massively enjoyed themselves dancing and crowd surfing along all night to songs by Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Supergrass, and more from our 90’s tribute band repertoire. Contact Britpop artist Andy Starkey to check on price and availability to hire a 90’s cover band for a University event or ball. 

This really was an amazing gig for us with professional 90’s band Britpop Reunion put on an amazing performance. The Top Of The Pops stage dressing really was the icing on the cake for pure 90’s authenticity. Penryn Campus venue had hired in a huge PA system and their own dedicated sound engineer and lighting engineer. 90’s cover band Britpop Reunion were then able to just purely concentrate on performing and entertaining the crowd. We soundcheck, chilled out for a bit and then got changed into our on stage clothing. Then all of a sudden we were walking onto the stage and boy oh boy did we perform well. The whole crowd instantly joined in “Oh Baby baby, how was I supposed to know…”. This really was one of the best gigs of our lives.

And then live at a festival to 4000+ festival goers

‘Baby One More Time’ was released by Britney Spears in September 1998 and topped the charts at number one in the UK and in many other countries around the world. It was written by Max Martin also known for the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” (released in 1999). This was Britney’s debut single and instantly made her a household name. Her success continued through the 90’s into the Naughties and still to this very day. Most recently from 2019 onwards she was in the news disputing her conservatorship with her father Jamie Spears. And there was even a hashtag for it #FreeBritney 

Check out the photos from the university event below and afterwards contact for price and availability for a 90’s themed event or University ball. 

From The Poznan style crowd moments made famous during Oasis’s “Cigarettes and Alcohol” to wall-to-wall 90s anthems, Britpop Reunion deliver the full energy of Britpop live on stage. This is a high-impact Britpop and 90s tribute band built to turn audiences into participants and events into unforgettable nights. Contact band leader Andy to enquire on price and availability. 

What is The Poznan Oasis Cigarettes And Alcohol

The Poznan itself began far from the gig arena, originating with supporters of Lech Poznań, a Polish football club whose fans famously turned their backs to the pitch, linked arms, and bounced in unison to celebrate goals. The tradition spread across Europe and was later embraced by English football crowds — most notably Manchester City supporters — before crossing naturally into live music culture. Its adoption by Oasis, especially during moments like “Cigarettes & Alcohol”, felt inevitable: the same unity, defiance, and collective release that defined both football terraces and 90s British live music. Today, The Poznan stands as a symbol of crowd connection — thousands of individuals moving as one — and a perfect expression of the spirit Britpop Reunion bring to every show.

Britpop Reunion celebrate the golden era of British guitar music — when gigs were loud, emotional, and shared. The band recreate the atmosphere that defined the 90s: arms around shoulders, voices raised together, and crowds moving as one. It’s not about copying one band; it’s about capturing the feeling of an era that changed live music culture forever.

The Poznan is used as a reference point for what Britpop Reunion do best — creating moments where the crowd becomes the show. Popularised by Oasis fans during “Cigarettes and Alcohol”, it symbolises everything that made Britpop special: unity, release, and collective joy. 90s party band Britpop Reunion channel that same spirit across their set, encouraging audience participation and delivering moments that people film, share, and talk about long after the night ends.

For promoters, venues, and event organisers, Britpop Reunion offer more than a standard tribute act. Their set is carefully structured to build momentum, combining instantly recognisable Britpop and 90s classics with natural crowd interaction. The result is a packed dance-floor, a loud singalong, and a room that feels alive from the first song to the final chorus.

This makes Britpop Reunion ideal for:

• Live music venues and club nights
• Festivals and outdoor stages
• Corporate parties and brand activations
• University events and student unions
• Private celebrations, birthdays, and reunions

What makes Britpop Reunion special

The band understand that great live music is about atmosphere as much as sound. Every performance is delivered with professionalism, confidence, and an instinctive understanding of how Britpop crowds respond. Whether it’s a tight indoor venue or a large festival field, Britpop Reunion know how to scale their performance and keep audiences fully engaged.

Booking Britpop Reunion means booking music that works across generations. Original Britpop fans relive the nights that defined their youth, while younger audiences experience the power of 90s live culture for the first time. It’s nostalgic, energetic, and proven to connect.

If you’re looking to book a band that delivers Britpop and 90s live energy, complete with iconic crowd moments like The Poznan, Britpop Reunion are ready to bring it to your stage.
