Light Alloy Information

Over the last 27 years, LIGHT ALLOY have earned the title of The Home Counties Premier Rock Covers Band for a very good reason, and they continue to bring their own blend of pop and rock covers to live music audiences in Herts and Beds and the surrounding counties. Their ever expanding musical repertoire includes classic songs covering almost five decades from artists as diverse as The Stereophonics, Primal Scream, Tears for Fears, Biffy Clyro, Simple Minds, Snow Patrol, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Killers, Bruce Springsteen, Kings of Leon, Bryan Adams and more and includes awesome versions of signature anthems from bands such as Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Queen, U2 and The Who that other bands just aren't capable of tackling. Light Alloy have crafted their sets to provide more than two hours of fantastic entertainment, described by one venue as "the best band we've had by a country mile".
