Wedding Band Post Reply

[hammyh]

Hi Everyone,
I'm getting married next year and currently trying to find a band. We're finding we're spending ages trawling through different websites, you tube etc. To help us out does any anyone have any recommendations that they have had at their own weddings? What we'd ideally like is a 6, 7 or 8 piece soul, mo-town funk band.

Thanks for any help
Louisa. xxx

Hi,

My husband is the lead male singer for a very successful Motown Band, and has been singing for various Motown Soul bands for the past 3 years in London/UK.

Here is a sample of what they do:

Get in touch and he could put a band together if you're interested - depending on dates etc.

Good Luck!

Laura

Well, I can't neglect to mention I'm a photographer, but perhaps you already have one organised.
Anyway, I experienced Strong Sensations at a wedding earlier this year http://www.strongsensation.com/ They really made the night and rocked the venue (not too much though!). They have genuine charisma and are great at interacting with the crowd - the bride is a great singer herself hence her informed choice, and sang with them as well!

And congratulations!

Hi Louisa,
congratulations for your wedding.
I am Anna and I am managing a very succesful funky-jazz-soul band, I have copied a presentation to you with a link to youtube:

I'm Anna Miquel and I represent the New Orleans Blues and Boogie Band "The Mississippi Swamp Dogs"
In particular their show "A Night In New Orleans"

Made up of some fine London professionals, this group has already individual experience
of working at such venues a the Volupte Lounge, The Cafe De Paris and the Rivoli Ballroom for the Magic Theatre.
The diverse styles of music associated with the Crescent City all have one thing in common: They are perfect for
dancing! Whether a slinky blues, a dirty funk groove or an upbeat Fats Domino Shuffle, people cannot help but get
on their feet and do their thing!

As an added bonus, such is the incredible musicianship of the band, we are able to offer ourselves as backing band for
an act/acts by arrangement.

Below are link to the
bands youtube pages. Please feel free to browse through them.

We had a band called Fully Funktional. Should be Googleable.

So far two sets of our guests have also employed them, which I think is the best recommendation...

Highly recommend Steve Burnett - organises and fronts a number of bands playing regularly at Venn St Records and can provide whatever you want for a wedding, from jazz funk and ska to disco or big band! You can contact him on Hello@steveburnettesq.com. Good Luck!
