About The C5
C5 is an established six-piece covers band based in Cottenham, currently celebrating ten years with their present line-up. Known as well-seasoned veterans of local pubs, festivals, and private parties, they bring a wealth of experience to every stage.
The band performs a massive range of classics from the 1960s to the present day, often adding a unique funky twist and rich multi-part vocal harmonies. Their setlist includes:
The Beatles, The Doobie Brothers, David Bowie, The Pretenders, Amy Macdonald, George Ezra, and Jason Mraz
The Band members
Jo Brass: Lead vocals
Dave Bradley: Lead vocals and rhythm guitar
Andrea Thomson: Backing vocals
Rich Blakesley: Lead guitar
Roger Brass: Bass guitar and backing vocals

The band’s roots date back to an Arts Night initiative on 22nd April 2012 at the local community centre. What began as a group gathering to share a love of music evolved into a professional outfit showcasing favourites and originals across the region.
