The Racket Story

Formed back in 2003 from a desire to take the classic rock the band grew up with, mix it with their current favourites & play them loud and live, Cheshire-based Racket are widely acknowledged as one of the North West’s top rock & pop covers bands.

In time-honoured Rock n Roll tradition, the band has gone through a number of personnel changes since the original line up, each time getting stronger & earning more recognition as a live act.  Earlier “incarnations” of various band members have included gigging at the Hacienda and Band on the Wall in Manchester along with one who appeared weekly as a dancer on National TV!

Racket in 2010 can cut their material to suit most venues and include well-known numbers by artists such as: Coldplay, Oasis, U2, REM, Greenday, Radiohead, Kaiser Chiefs, Queen, Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Kinks, Quo, ZZ Top, Bowie, The Beatles and even Andy Williams, Tom Jones and the Sex Pistols. The result, as anyone who’s seen the band live will know, is a show not easily forgotten (no matter how hard you may try).
