On the Eleventh Day of Christmas - a Party Band

For our clients we recommended our party bands when they were organising various seasonal parties. Yes: there are plenty of bands around, but for valued clients, we want to ensure the quality of the band is outstanding.

• Our band liaised with the client before the event, to ensure they played the favourite songs from their extensive playlist.
• They arrived very early to unload, set up and sound check; avoiding any disruption to the venue and the party.
• They provided their own sound equipment which was all PAT tested before the event.
  
• They were smartly dressed for the set up, and changed into their performance clothing.
• They also arranged lighting to add atmosphere to the evening.
• As there was going to be a speech, the band set up a mic that could be used for this, at no extra charge.

We offer a full event management service for this sort of band, if the client wishes to have a liaison person on site.

The event was a great success and the client has already booked the band for a future event!

On the Tenth Day of Christmas our stunning Jazz Singer Kellie

We were asked to suggest a musician for an evening event at a lovely modern, prestigious venue. We recommended our beautiful, sultry jazz singer, Kellie. She performed a programme of jazz standards with a modern twist, with a pianist.
Kellie comes from Barbados, and has a mixture of inate musicianship, a voice to die for and looks that melt the coldest evening.

Kelly is ideal for events where a sophisticated sound is required and where clients like some interaction with the musicians. Kelly also performs with a jazz band and is able to offer different options based on the venue, the occasion and budget.

On the Ninth Day of Christmas - a pianist

We had a formal dinner at an historical venue, where there was a beautiful grand piano. It seemed ridiculous not to use the piano (a Steinberg that any one of our pianists would be delighted to play!) So we recommended one of our pianists to provide background music for the drinks reception and dinner.

The client was delighted; the sound of the piano in the beautiful venue was exquisite and added to the experience for the guests.

We have several excellent pianists we are able to recommend, who play a variety of classical, crossover and cocktail music.

Here is information on Matthew

On the Eighth Day of Christmas - A String Quartet

We organised an Afternoon Tea event where the client wanted sophisticated background music that would add to the atmosphere. We suggested one of our glamorous String Quartets, who performed a mixture of light classical and crossover music for the guests.

The compliments the girls and I received were tremendous. The guests felt the music added to their experience; they were able to enjoy the delicious tea; soak up the atmosphere - and have conversations with their friends.

On the Seventh Day of Christmas - a Jazz Band

On the Sixth Day of Christmas we arranged a Piper

Here is more information about the piper.

On the Fifth Day of Christmas we provided excellent sound qualities for the event

The sound levels of music at an event make or break the success of the occasion. How many times have you attended events where the sound levels are too high for you to talk - during a reception, OR times when it is impossible to hear the music due to background noises.

My parents attended a 50th birthday recently, where the band played so loudly that most of the guests left early; they couldn't bear the sound. We also attended an event yesterday where the sound levels of the performers were not appropriate for the event or venue. The sound was too high (loud) and the mix had too much treble on it. Given that it was a reception, people weren't able to talk and hear a conversation and most people went home.

We ensure that does not happen at events we are involved in. We offer a music management service where a sound engineer does a thorough sound check before the event and during the event. In addition, he or she liaises with the venue and client to ensure the sound levels and quality are maintained throughout the event. This is not a service all companies offer and performers are not able to assess sound levels as they perform.

On the Fourth Day of Christmas the Romantic Tenor serenaded us all

On the Third Day of Christmas we had a harpist playing

Planning a drinks reception, our clients wanted to create a beautiful atmosphere: we recommended a harpist to play. She provided excellent and beautiful background music, which enhanced the occasion, allowing guests to talk without drowning them out.

The harpist plays a variety of musical styles and will arrange to discuss the musical programme before the event, to ensure your musical tastes are played.

More information on the harpist.
