Band of Dads (BOD) is more than just a band – we’re a movement of music-loving mums & dads who play for passion, purpose, and mental health.
Born from a group of mates in Cuckfield with a love of loud guitars and feel-good vibes, BOD was never just about the music. It was about connection, community, and making a difference. From the very start, our mission has been to raise money for brilliant causes – from St Peter & St James Hospice to local charities and national fundraising efforts that touch lives across the UK.
But here's the twist – we’re not just one band.
We now have two active chapters:
🎸 BOD Cuckfield – the original crew that kicked things off
🎸 BOD Second Chapter – our next wave of musical mayhem
And we’re not stopping there. With plans for Chapter 3 already in motion, we’re looking to bring even more mum & dads into the fold – more music, more impact, more good vibes.
We’ve also added a BOD DJ to the mix, bringing banging beats and party energy to keep the crowd going between sets and long into the night.
Most importantly, BOD is our outlet. We play for our own mental health and wellbeing, to escape the stresses of everyday life, to laugh, to reconnect, and to remember who we are beyond the day jobs and school runs. Music brings us together – and together, we’re giving back.
So, who are BOD?
We’re your mates, your neighbours, your fellow mums & dads. We play hard, we care deeply, and we always Party With A Purpose.
