Live Bands are More Popular than Ever

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

There has been something of a transformation in music recently. While we are buying less in the form of CDs and downloads compared to the number of vinyl records which used to be sold twenty years ago, more of us are listening to live music. This is reflected in the number of clubs which have sprung up all over the UK where musicians of every genre, from Metal to soul bands are playing to enthusiastic audiences.

There has also been a shift in the way we provide music for guests at parties we hold, whether they are wedding receptions, birthdays, graduation ceremonies or a party to mark an anniversary. Instead of booking a DJ and a mobile disco, more people are booking party bands to give the event that little bit of extra atmosphere.

Having said that, if you want your big night to be a success you will have to be sure that the party bands or soul bands you are considering are up to the task. Imagine the horror of booking party bands only for them to turn up on the night and be awful? You can avoid this nightmare scenario by booking party bands with a proven track record for providing a great night which will be enjoyed by all your guests.

If you are looking for soul bands and party bands, you are in the right place. Here at London Soul we have a proven reputation for giving our clients exactly what they want – a great night with great music provided by accomplished musicians and singers.

Simple Party Planning When Choosing Live Bands

Saturday, April 9th, 2011

Not all function bands are suitable for all functions, just as your decor for your charity evening and a teenage birthday party would be different, the entertainment should change accordingly. However, at London Soul, we go out of our way to ensure that we provide the most flexible entertainment possible. Most live bands have limited set lists, focusing on one era or genre, but with us this is not the case. With a huge repertoire covering jazz, pop, rock and soul classics from the last thirty years, we can put together a set list to impress the guests at any number of events.

Whether your wedding needs some romantic background music or pop hits to get your guests dancing, we can provide, bringing our professional attitude to entertainment which has secured us international acclaim. You may be looking to entertain two hundred people at a business event or two thousand at a much larger function, but we have the positive attitude to gigs that we believe all function bands should possess.

As a twelve piece band, the entertainment we provide is dynamic and professional from a tightly knit group who love what they do. We engage with the requests made by the event host, altering our set or our style to accommodate the evening, instead of simply turning up and playing as so many live bands do. Whether your company has its twenty fifth birthday coming up or you have a wedding to plan, we make choosing the musical entertainment the easiest decision you will have to make.

Live Bands Are Icing on Your Wedding Cake

Monday, April 4th, 2011

Spring is here, bringing with it the most popular months of year to get married, from now right up until September. Spring is a time for new beginnings and growth, the symbolic suitability of the season is perfect, not to mention that the weather is better and brighter for your photos. Summer following just around the corner is equally beautiful, with the sun hopefully shining on your union.

If you are getting married this year, your head will be spinning with all the details, internally arguing with yourself to arrive at finalised seating plans or make a decision on the DJ versus function bands front.

At London Soul, we are here to argue in favour of live bands. The atmosphere they create is often more enjoyable and more memorable than a DJ churning out the same tunes, usually oldies which do not resonate with the little ones or the latest pop hits that the adults are unfamiliar with. We try hard with our varied set lists to ensure that there is something to get everybody up, dancing, and enjoying themselves.

Established over 13 years ago, we can offer a flexibility that not many function bands can provide, with the ability to alter our performance to suit the style of your wedding. Our 12 piece band can play gentle instrumentals or classics from the last thirty years, helping you to introduce the atmosphere that live bands bring to an event in whatever style you envisage. We aim to enchant your guests and make your special day extra magical.

The Difference that Live Bands Can Make

Monday, February 21st, 2011

It is unfortunate, but not all people give the necessary attention to the music choice at their function. They could well leave it until the last minute and end up having to go for options that are second rate, with DJs and discos often being booked in place of more upmarket live bands. This can be a big mistake, because live function bands really can make all the difference.

Opting for function bands can give your party that little something extra. Rather than putting up with a generic set list you will get the chance to choose the type of music to be played, and with the chance to fully engage with the band you will feel like you are at a professional performance instead of at a function.

If you come to us here at London Soul you will soon see why live options are the only way to go, and you can be confident in having a night to remember with music tailored to you and your precise needs.

There really is no comparison between DJs and live bands. Go for the former and you could be left with cheesy disco hits that will not really make for the best atmosphere, but go for the latter and you will have something entirely different. Style, class, audience participation and the perfect ambiance. Ultimately, you will get a performance to remember that can make all the difference to your function. So what are you waiting for? Get in touch with us here at London Soul and experience the difference for yourself.
