FUNCTION BAND
Switch to Double Tribute Site >About
Formed in 2008, The Chilli Fighters started life as a fully fledged double tribute band with a difference, fusing songs from the two biggest bands of our time capturing the hard hitting grittiness of the Foo Fighters mixed with the distinctive funk rock sound of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
The band consists of three professional musicians with a vast wealth of experience and enthusiasm for live music. The band started with a view of being the tightest and most exciting cover band around hand picking its members from already established bands to make The Chilli Fighters.
But not only are they the arguably the best tribute act in the country, they can also cater for other events as an all out function band with a large catalog of music that offers something for everyone covering popular tracks from the Kings of Leon, The Killers, The Kaiser Chiefs, Stereophonics and Oasis as well as Stevie Wonder, The Jam and some very clever versions of Adele, Johnny Cash and Kenny Rogers not to be missed.
As more and more weddings and private function bookings started coming in thick and fast the band gradually began adding other hits from similar bands to provide the most versatile live music experience, whilst still keeping true to their hard-hitting rock roots. This saw the band transition into an international function band.
As a function band, The Chilli Fighters set has evolved into a genre-blending, precise and polished set to please all. Their large catalog of music offers something for everyone.
The Chilli Fighters have built up a huge report with the Armed Forces playing over 200 shows at Christmas, summer and general functions. As well as also playing weddings, private functions and corporate events The Chilli Fighters are well known for supporting local charities and raising money for Cancer Research and local hospice Phyllis Tuckwell which they hold dear to their hearts after losing their founding Bass player to cancer at just 41.
What makes The Chilli Fighters function band so unique is the added bonus of being able to adapt to any requirements of the organiser booking the band. Unlike many function bands that stick to a strict song roster, The Chilli Fighters are constantly updating their repertoire and have been known to learn as many as 10 new songs per gig.
There are several packages available to choose from and 'tailor' for your own function including -
- Dedicated DJ - who will spin the music until the last person leaves the dancefloor
- Full lighting show - Upto 3 sets per night, each between 45-60mins
- Choice of sets played - Anything from the latest chart hits at your wedding, to stadium rock greats/air guitar favourites at the work christmas do, to raw unplugged acoustic sing-a-long tunes in a summer beer garden. Let us know what songs you want to hear and we will learn them especially for you
- Themed party? We'll be in costume! - We like to get involved with the party as much as you want us to!
There really is no show too big or too small for the Chilli Fighters.

Testimonials
"The chilli fighters were amazing, they helped to make our wedding a day we'll never forget! Having just been asked for their contact details for another event, they've clearly made a big impact.
We've just got back from our honeymoon and have been inundated with friends, family and work colleagues saying how amazing the band were and that they haven't seen a band at a wedding like it.
They created such an atmosphere, I'm just looking forward to booking them again!!"

"Reference 23 Engr Regt, WOs’ and Sgts’ Mess MESSTIVAL 2010.
Firstly, can I commend you and the remainder of Chilli Fighters on what can only be described as the best Summer Ball I, and many other members, have ever attended. The quality of entertainment was superb and I would easily recommend you to anyone planning any event.
It was a pleasure to have such a group of people that not only knew their music but also their client base. You provided just the type of music required for the evening and encouraged the crowd to join in, which ultimately enhanced their evening beyond expectations.
I cannot praise you enough for the night and would gladly book you again. (Hence the following request).
Once again, many thanks."

"The Chillifighters played at the Wild West Themed Summer Ball in July 09 in Herford, Germany and were quite simply fantastic. Not just a tribute band of the highest order but a band that are prepared to tailor their music to the requirements of your event. They prepared a Country Themed Set specifically for the function and were so original and fresh in there performance that no-one realised it had only recently been added to the bands playlist. Genuine Foo Fighters and Chilli Pepper fans were blown away by the sound these guys delivered. The interaction and enthusiasm on stage was clear to see and only served to enhance what was an incredibly visual and energetic performance. Never before have I seen the dance floor full as early as 8 o’clock as was the case on Saturday night. All faces wore a smile such was the enjoyment felt from the sound of the Chillifighters. The comments they attracted both during their performance and after were incredibly positive, earning the band several enquiries about further bookings for future events, and of particular note was the comments attracted by the VIP guests who claimed it was the best entertainment they had witnessed in years. It seems this band need to be prepared to play at our summer and Christmas Ball year after year if they continue playing with the same quality, and if word gets out, these guys had better clear their diaries as the bookings to follow will ensure the Chillifighters are kept extremely busy for some time! I have no hesitation in recommending this band to play at any event, my only request would be to let me know where they’re playing so I can come along and enjoy what I and many others believe to be one of the best unsigned bands we have ever seen."
