Rude not 2 is predominantly a covers band, though we may on occasion slip one of our own songs in whilst you're not looking!  We aim to cover tunes that will have an all-round appeal, not necessarily the same 'standards' as played by many other local bands, including melodies from all manner of artists and eras....and most importantly songs that we all, as a band, love to play! Some tunes are kept as near to the original as possible, whilst keeping things acoustic...and then some are thrown into the mix and come out as our own take on a popular song, for example our slow bluesy version of Kylie's 'Can't get you out of my head' or our unique blend of Maroon 5's 'She will be loved', U2's 'With or without you' & The Police's 'Don't stand so close to me'...all in one final chorus!

We tend to vary each set-list according to venue & audience, ensuring a fresh mix of songs at each gig, rather than churning out the same polished routine time after time! Below is a list of our current repertoire, which is ever-expanding as we learn more numbers after hearing newly released tunes or some long forgotten 'golden oldies' that inspire us! This means our set lists are constantly evolving to include some old favourites along with a few 'new' numbers to keep things up-to-date and provide enough variety to keep our own musical appetites quenched! We are always prepared to learn a new song for a special occasion, providing the tune lends itself to an acoustic arrangement and that we have adequate time to learn and rehearse it thoroughly. We typically select around 10-12 songs per set lasting 45-60 minutes...and, of course, we always get asked back up for an encore!!!
