Make this a Night to Remember

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

We have all had that experience of being at a party, whether a wedding reception or a birthday bash, when the DJ is not quite up to the job. He plays all the wrong music which is guaranteed to clear the dance floor, and insists on littering the night with jokes which first saw the light of day in the early seventies.

If you are familiar with this scenario, you will know that this can ruin the night to say the least. These Lunar Discos, so called because like the moon they have no atmosphere, are to be avoided at all costs if you want your guests to enjoy themselves. Of course, you might get lucky and book a DJ and disco which is perfect for the night, but why not think about an alternative for your musical entertainment?

Live bands are perfect for creating a great atmosphere no matter what the event is. Seeing as you are here on the London Soul website you need look no further when it comes to finding live bands and soul bands who are guaranteed to give you and your guests a great night.

Whether you are organising a corporate event in a large venue, or you are interested in live bands and soul bands for a wedding or a birthday party, get in touch with us here at London Soul and you are taking the first step to a guaranteed fantastic night for everyone.

Party Bands Make Your Event Unforgettable

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

When you are planning an event, whatever it is, you will want to make it special and unforgettable. There is no better way to add life to a special event than with a live band. For a minor outlay of money, party bands can bring life and enjoyment to any event you choose, making your event an occasion that your guests will remember forever.

Party bands can add excitement to any event, from weddings to banquets and birthday parties to corporate events. But a quality event demands a quality band. If you book a substandard band for your event, it will be unforgettable for different reasons.

There are various things you should consider when booking live bands. The size of the event and location can be a major factor. The band that you choose should be adept at playing in front of the number of people who will be attending your event. The venue should also be able to accommodate the size of the band. The stage at the venue should be a comfortable size for the musicians and their instruments.

Once you have decided on the location for your event, then you can choose the style of music you would like your band to play. Soul bands are great for events. It is a style of music that everyone loves, and it will be sure to get your guests dancing.

Good party bands will also be able to take requests from guests. Having a live band at your next event will turn it from mundane to magnificent.

Party Bands for Your Summer Celebrations

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Summer is a hugely popular season for weddings and other celebrations, primarily because the season brings with it the promise of potential outdoor elements to your celebrations, providing the opportunity to bring the winning combination of marquees, live bands and a buffet or barbeque together under the British sunshine once again.

Your social calendar is probably already filling up nicely with wedding receptions, gatherings with family and friends, birthday parties and more. If you yourself are throwing such a celebration, you want your wedding reception or the birthday party you are hosting to be the most entertaining event that your guests attend this summer, and one great way to inject life into a celebration is by hiring party bands such as London Soul.

Live bands are usually better at engaging a crowd than a DJ, interesting to watch as well as to dance and listen to. We are an experienced and professional 12 piece band, with a shared passion for live performance and music which has helped us become what is possibly one of the most tightly knit party bands around. Our repertoire is enormous, spanning several musical genres including soul, pop, rock and jazz, and contains many of the biggest hits from these genres over the last few decades, including tracks from Aretha Franklin, Ricky Martin, Duffy, and Queen.

The expanse of our set lists allows us to perform according to your wishes, providing energetic tunes for your guests to sing and dance to, or to perform more gentle background music for quieter events.

Summer Party Bands

Summer is the best season for organising events, bringing with it the possibility of adding outdoor elements to your celebrations, such as marquees, barbeques, and more. Adding music to such events by hiring party bands is another wonderful way to enhance the atmosphere and ensure that your guests enjoy and remember your party.

It could be a family gathering, a wedding celebration, a work party or something totally different, but whatever your event, you can rule out all other function bands by coming straight to London Soul for professional, enthusiastic musicians. We consider no audience too small or large, possessing a positive attitude towards events in need of party bands.

A twelve piece band established in 1997, we have developed a repertoire more extensive than most function bands could lay claim to, spanning several genres, including rock, pop, soul, and jazz. This range enables us to accommodate the musical tastes of you and your guests, ensuring that whether you want floor fillers or background music, you get what you requested.

We can help to make your party a party, knowing more than enough classic hits from the last thirty years to keep the dance floor perpetually full, entertaining both older and younger guests with music they recognise and love. Live music is always infinitely more enjoyable than tracks relayed by a DJ, and usually sees more success in enticing your guests to get up and dance. With flexibility, professionalism and passion, we can provide an evenings entertainment and help to ensure your event is a hit.

Why Pick Party Bands for your Summer Wedding?

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

With spring beginning to bloom all around us, the pressure is on to begin finalising the details and making executive decisions regarding your upcoming summer wedding. One of the toughest decisions to make is the music. Most people feel that live bands are preferable to DJs, who can sometimes seem to enjoy hearing their own voices amplified more than entertaining your guests, but choosing between the many party bands on offer can be tricky.

To provide maximum entertainment for the majority of your guests, you have to find a band which is enthusiastic, fun, and well rehearsed in a wide range of songs. Finding a band which knows all the pop hits of the noughties but not much more will not draw most of the adults to the dance floor. What you need is a band with a vast range of performance experience and a repertoire large enough to keep everybody enjoying themselves all evening. The only memory which could be fonder than a beautiful summer evening filled with smiles and vibrant music is if this evening was the celebration of your wedding: the perfect end to your perfect day.

Party bands that do not seem to understand the enjoyment that should be involved with their work can be painful to watch, something London Soul aim to avoid by offering you only the best entertainment that live bands can offer. The twelve piece is professional, experienced and enthusiastic about providing you and your guests with truly enjoyable party entertainment, something fun and special, befitting a summer wedding.
