Steal the show with 'middle England's finest kick-ass covers band'

How Did it Come to This?

Listen Like Thieves are a live band with a big sound and even bigger energy. Blending the best of rock with unexpected pop favourites, we bring a fresh twist to every performance—mixing iconic tracks from The Killers, U2, The Cult, and The Darkness with crowd-pleasers from Taylor Swift, George Michael, Bastille, 5ive, and Blink-182.
Our set is all about feel-good anthems, singalong moments, and getting everyone on their feet. Whether you’re after festival vibes, party energy, or something a bit different from the usual function band, we deliver a show that’s packed with personality and unforgettable tunes.
Introducing Listen Like Thieves in the Garden: a more acoustic, more intimate version of the band you know and (hopefully) love. We’re stripping it back—less kit, more vibe. Just honest, heartful music played with feeling and flexibility. The idea is simple:

** Short notice (if the weather looks good, we’ll be there)

** Early evening starts (5:30–6:30)

** Wind down around sunset (8:30ish)

** Affordable, relaxed, and perfect for beer gardens

It’s the same band, just a little looser, a little lighter, and a lot more spontaneous. We’ll still bring the sing-alongs, the energy, and the soul—just without blowing your pub’s budget or eardrums.

We may not be available all the time, but when we are, it’ll be a moment worth catching. So if the sun’s out and the beers are cold—let’s make it a night to remember.

Listen Like Thieves – still playing our hearts out, just in a different key.

  • Had Listen Like Thieves at my 40th and my Dad’s 70th birthday party and I can honestly say they are the best live band I’ve ever seen. They made the party come to life and everyone who came said how magnificent they were. Actually cried when they played my all time favourite song, which they had learned especially.
