Are there any covers bands specialising in cheese?

Not quite cheese, but the band Dream Themes only play TV theme tunes.

With our wedding band, we're not 'themed', but we have a lonnnnng list of songs (maybe 200 or so) we can play on the website (which is where the majority of bookings come from) and if they're bothered they can pick what they want, though most will only pick a handful and rely on us to play stuff that is tried and tested to appeal to most people.

It's another reason we don't have a fixed setlist: our BL will call songs as we go, depending on the audience and the evening, not unlike a good DJ...he's very good at it.

I know a DJ booking service that has a 'must play' 'this is what we like' and 'don't play even if the bride's mother requests it' section of their booking form.

We played 'I'll be there' the other day. To be fair, it's a really good bit of songwriting with some creative changes.

One man's cheese is another's caviar, of course.

Not cheese but chicken.

These guys are heavily influenced by poultry..

You want cheese my friends?!? I'm playing 'I am the one and only' with the one and only Chesney Hawkes later this month!

[Muzz]

Playing with Cheesy H W*nks? Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner... 😃

Serious question. Is a Chesney Hawkes tribute band able to sing "I am the one and only" or would that cause the universe to implode? 

[Muzz]

I think 'He is the one and only' could only improve the tribute experience...

We have what we refer to as the "Cheese Board" in our second set.  This generally gets a pretty good response from the audience, the principle elements being:  Living Next Door To Alice / Shangalang / Delilah (SAHB version) / Dakota

That having been said, I think what we might see as classic rock other may may consider to be cheesey commestibles.

Double champion actually, he's sung with us before! I fank you. 

I should say that the song itself is a tricky little bugger that's really cleverly written, nick Kershaw i believe, so many key changes. And chesney himself was super pro and very nice to work with.
