The Fraudsters - A unique music experience
Combining live performance and DJ-ing, The Fraudsters are a genuine indie covers entertainment phenomenon. These five musicians from Manchester, the self-proclaimed capital city of music and partying, play live covers of songs from some of the great bands of the last 40-odd years whilst keeping the crowd on their feet with a huge vault full of indie and dancefloor classics.
Anyone who loves the great rock, alternative and indie bands of the last five decades will love the live performance of The Fraudsters, belting out singalong anthems by bands such as Oasis, The Stone Roses, Blur, The Killers, The Rolling Stones, Kings of Leon, The Police, The Jam, Kaiser Chiefs, Pulp, James, The Smiths, Guns & Roses, Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, Stereophonics and The Undertones to name but a few.
The band's live show features an ever evolving repertoire. Give them a bit of notice and they can work in a couple of special requests - songs you want, to suit your wedding, party or corporate event!

Matt & Charlotte's Wedding in Kent – November 2012
THE PREVIOUS distance record for The Fraudsters was 186 miles to Ingram in Northumberland..... we absolutely SMASHED that with this wedding in Maidstone – 247 miles and one inch from the Fraudcave to The Turkey Mills wedding venue.
Because we'd been bummed by The Hippies and failed to get a luxorious tourbus, this would be the most uncomfortable as well as the longest journey ever – for three of our band at least. For X and for Obi-Wan they were invited to the wedding, being mates of the happy couple. Not so Bunky, Metz and Dave who had to suffer every one of those 15,649,921 inches in a rather uncomfortable Transit hire van. Before setting off, Driver Bunky asked Metz to check the tyres for him. The reply came back "Yep. There's four of 'em"
40th Birthday Party - Sandbach Cricket Club
It's been wedding after wedding after wedding this summer – so much so they all merged into one and we can't remember much about any of them except they were all top top parties and at least one of them involved us packing up and leaving as it was getting daylight the following morning……
Anyway. Autumn is here, the weddings have stopped, and people are having 40th birthday parties again (Christmas passion 1971). And so Sandbach Cricket Club was our destination for Zoe's party.
When we arrived to set up (well, when TWO OF US arrived to set up…..) there was all manner of cricket related tomfoolery going on – white clad cricketers smoking cigars, drinking brandy and dragging their captain out onto the pitch, debagging him and pouring a bucket of ice into his cricket box…… And here's me thinking it was only rugby players who got up to that sort of thing. "Oh no" said our rhythm guitarist Squire who plays cricket of the over-50's variety…. sorry 50-overs variety: "At my cricket club we're always getting naked and rubbing ice cubes on each others' bodies…..
Eight Weddings and a Funeral, Summer 2012
THIS TIME LAST YEAR we had "Four Weddings and Hopefully No Funerals"
2012's Summer Blockbuster Sequel is…… "Eight Weddings and One Funeral" Clever eh?
The summer months are popular for people getting hitched, so June, July and August saw The Fraudsters rocking up at various venues around Lancashire & Cheshire to play various mate's mates' milkman's weddings…..
