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.

Live and direct

Live bands add an extra dimension to any type of event. There is something powerful and visceral in witnessing soulful and heartfelt performances from outstanding musicians, which cannot be replicated by DJs or the use of recorded music. London Soul are one of the few live bands who seemingly effortlessly manage to strike up a rapport with each and every audience, whether at a family wedding, anniversary celebration or prestigious international event. While other function bands rehearse diligently, learning every note and lyric, when they hit the stage, something is missing.

You cannot teach soul: that special presence, the life force which drives music and makes you want to scream, shout and hit the dance floor to connect with other revellers and there is no doubt that London Soul have undoubtedly got soul (as well as skills in rock, funk and dance). They have the punch and personality to excite any crowd and the versatility which ensures that every guest leaves fully satisfied. London Soul are the envy of all function bands because of their immaculate style, powerful and smooth vocals and outstanding musicianship.

Combine these qualities with an innate sense of the soulful and an amazing ability to provoke a profound emotional connection and you have a powerful package which raises London Soul to an elite level, and allows them to keep the dance floor completely packed. Like all the greatest live bands, London Soul always leaves the crowd begging for more and raving about their performance. London Soul – live and direct: from London to the World.

Types Of Corporate Event Entertainment

At a corporate event, the grand finale is often made by choosing function bands who will get the party atmosphere going and make sure your guests feel well looked after and leave the event on a high. Party bands provide the show element to any event and are essential when it comes to getting people up off their chairs and onto the dance floor. Function bands can be made even more spectacular by incorporating light shows and pyrotechnic displays, depending on the budget.

In addition to big party bands you may also want to include circulating entertainment for guests that remain seated. This may include comedians or magicians for example. They can help guests to break the ice and are particularly effective when the guests have just been seated to get conversation flowing.

Dancers can be used to encourage guests to get up onto the dance floor either by choosing guests from the sidelines or offering your guests mini classes to the live band music. This can work well with party bands that play big band music, Rat Pack genre and Latino music but will complement other forms of music such as rock and soul.

The choice of music can definitely make or break your corporate event but it is important to understand what the goal of the entertainment is before you choose. You obviously want to keep your guests occupied and stimulate interaction as well as making the evening memorable.

At London Soul we offer a great range of music and have years of experience heading up corporate events.
