Each band has their own (often extensive) repertoire. It is not recommended to choose every song a band plays – there really is a knack to creating a band playlist that encourages audience participation.
However, input into what the bands play is encouraged. We ask you to highlight your favourite pop, soul & Motown songs and let us know any particular songs they should avoid. They can then cater their performance to your individual music preferences.

We stay with you from the initial booking right through to the event. We communicate with the band on your behalf, liaise with the venue and provide documentation required as well as assisting you with an itinerary for the band. Our music agency is with you every step of the way.
