FAQ
How big is the band?
We can go out as a 6 - 12 piece band. The core line up is 2 vocalists (male and female), drums, bass, keys and guitar.
On top of that you get -
7 piece - Add sax/trumpet
8 piece - Add both sax and trumpet
9 piece - Add sax, trumpet and trombone. (Recommended - it makes an enormous difference to the sound)
**PREMIUM 12 piece line up** - Four vocalists, three horns, percussionist and rhythm section. DJ service included.
How much does the band cost?
The cost of the band depends on a lot of different variables including the number of members required in the band, how long they will be on site and distance from the venue. When you call us on 07833 455545, we will go through these variables together and you will be sent a quote within an hour.
What do you require from us?
We need floor-space or a stage that is separate from the dancefloor, it's no fun for anyone having guests falling over expensive equipment!
-
12 Piece – Width 6.5m x Depth 4m
-
9 Piece – Width 6m x Depth 3.5m
-
6 Piece – Width 5m x Depth 3m
POWER - Also we need around 4 x 13Amp Plug sources to be safe!
FOOD - The band requires hot meals and soft drinks. These would usually be served after set up or between the first and second sets.
WEATHER-proof - If the event is outdoors and you require the use of electrical equipment we need cover, even if it doesn't look like it's going to rain!
Will you learn our first dance?
YES! Whatever it may be! We already have a fairly large back catalogue, but if you want something new, we will arrange and learn a first dance free of charge!
Do you take other requests?
The LDN Party Band prides itself on flexibility - so if you want specific music played at your event, we can collaborate in the run up to it and tailor make your set to best suit your guests. If you want us to learn specific new songs it can absolutely be done just at a very small cost.
How do we entertain the guests between sets?
Luckily, three of the band members are DJs, so if you want vibrant live mixes instead of just music played out of an iPod between, before and after the band's set then this is an option to consider! We can also add a sax and percussion to this set up to create a great live, party vibe.
Can you play music for our ceremony?
Yes, the band can morph easily into a pop trio, or even just a pianist and a singer. You can also get our amazing jazz group 'Skyline Jazz' or the string group 'Fortissimi' who also play classical music and all your favourite love songs!
Do you have material for Jewish and Hindu weddings?
Whilst the majority of our set is Western, we have 15 minute medleys of traditional Jewish music and Bollywood music!
How long is the set?
80% of the time we play 2 x 1 hour sets. But occasionally people want different timings and that is fine and can be negotiated!
