Wicked wedding band

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

London Soul are one of the most professional wedding bands on the circuit who have rocked crowds internationally for many years now with their versatile repertoire, stunning showmanship, outstanding vocals and virtuoso musicianship. For too long, the term function band has been synonymous with second rate performances from washed up bands and tired vocalists covering a restricted number of mundane tunes in a pub karaoke style. However, the sheer professionalism of function bands such as London Soul put the pride and punch back into the wedding bands and party bands profession.

London Soul talk the talk and walk the walk, are always immaculately presented and deliver powerful and precise performances each and every time. It can be very difficult deciding which wedding band is the correct choice to get a party really swinging and encourage revellers of all ages to get up onto the dance floor. Too often, a band recommended by a friend or acquaintance simply does not suit the tastes of a different set of guests and the dance floor is left empty, which is an embarrassment to organisers and a huge waste of cash.

However, London Souls diverse repertoire and professional versatility allows them to adapt to any requests or set lists . They can prepare and perform unique and flawless professional interpretations of hits from any era and across all genres. No matter the tastes of your guests, you can rest assured that there will be several occasions over the course of the wedding reception when they simply cannot sit still any longer, and feel compelled to race to the dance floor in order to bust a move.

DJ or Live Band for Your Wedding Reception?

One of the most important elements of a successful wedding reception is the musical entertainment. For many newlyweds, this normally comes down to a straight choice between the pre recorded music played by a professional DJ and the live music provided by hired wedding bands. Thankfully, DJs have come a long way since the cheesy disco lights and mobile discos of yesteryear. However, even the most enthusiastic and accomplished DJ just cannot create the same kind of atmosphere that comes from talented live bands who can make music.

Although generally more expensive to hire than an individual DJ, the extra money spent on live bands can provide extra benefit. Whereas a DJ will typically only start playing in the evening, most wedding bands can start much earlier and play different sets at different times of the day. While guests are enjoying their food, the band can play soft, low tempo music to encourage people to relax and break the ice. Later, with the speeches and formalities over, they can pick up the pace and get everybody loosened up with a few well known singalongs. Then, after a break, the band can really let rip and get the party going properly.

We here at London Soul are a 12 piece soul, rock and pop function band who can be hired for all events in the UK and abroad. With female backing singers and a full brass section, we guarantee that your wedding reception will be a musical feast for everyone.

Make a crowd-pleasing impact

A wedding should be an occasion for family and friends to get together. It is often ironic therefore, and disappointing for the bride and groom, when the wedding day peters out with different groups of guests and certain individuals disappearing from the main function room, and leaving what appears to be a near-deserted seating and dance floor area.

One method of keeping the momentum going is to add an element of real, live entertainment at the evening function. This can be best served by hiring a professional wedding band.

Quality wedding bands not only provide a high calibre of musical entertainment more than equivalent in depth and sophistication to anything pre-recorded on to CD; they also add an intimacy to the occasion that encourages all but the most obstinate guest to come on to the dance floor, even if only to try and get a closer look.

What is more, for those who wish their wedding day to be remembered by their guests, and who do not like to think of their hard work in planning and the large amounts of money they have spent as having little impact, live music from live bands has been found to be one of the most frequently recalled memories among wedding guests (much more so than, say, the wedding cake).

At London Soul, our brilliant 12 piece professional band of talented singers and musicians will be guaranteed to remain a part of your guests happy memories of your special day for a long time to come.

Live wedding bands: the guaranteed crowd pleaser

Weddings are one of the few occasions when the whole family comes together. Most couples therefore feel it is important that their wedding be as memorable for their special guests as possible. One of the ways to truly say thank you to family and friends is to arrange some kind of post wedding entertainment. Top among the ideas is the hiring of a professional wedding band.

Professional wedding bands tend to go down extremely well among all guests, whether they are big music fans or not. The spectacle of a full troop of talented singers and versatile musicians is one of the most exciting around.

Furthermore, with experienced wedding bands, organisers rarely have to worry about whether the type of music chosen will find favour among guests; wedding bands know instinctively what makes a party go with a swing. Most wedding bands are essentially soul bands, picking up on the fact that popular soul music classics tend to be towards the top of most people
