Absolutely amazing - I would have no doubts in recommending them for our friends weddings so we can see more! Leah’s solo sax sets were also perfect - the guests loved every minute - thank you!

Studio B were everything we had hoped for in a party band, at an event catering for ages 14 to 64. Dave, the drummer, made contact as scheduled and discussed our expectations, the venue and the logistics for the evening. The band arrived in good time having agreed a great playlist and set up efficiently. They were friendly, relaxed and flexible and remained so when the timings for the meal ran a bit late pushing their first set back. The six piece set up produced a lovely, loud but warm sound; singer and saxophonist fab! Rhythm section super. We danced all night, they made the evening wonderful. We have attended a number of events in the last year with a band (weddings, balls and birthday parties) but Studio B were by far the best. Many of the guests mentioned how great the band were when they contacted us to thank us for the evening. Really professional, brilliant music... Would recommend them to anyone!

Just a belated email to say thanks a lot for performing at our wedding! As you will have gathered from the packed dance floor and fact that none of us wanted you to stop, it was a great evening and everyone enjoyed the music immensely! Thanks again, and please pass our thanks to the rest of the band!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the band for last night. You absolutely made the night... We have been flooded with thank you’s from our guests for the evening and they all commented on how much they enjoyed the music.

    FAQs

    Can you supply PA and lights ?
    Yes, we can supply PA and lights, though some venues may have their own in-house PA and lighting which may be more practical to use. For larger events of around 250 people upwards, we can either work with our partners to provide you with a suitable production setup, or will provide you with our own tech riders where you have a production team already in place. In addition, we can also supply interval / background music, played on an iPod, which we will play before our first set and in any following interval breaks. 

    How long does it take you to set up ?
    If we need to supply PA and lights, we would require around 60-90 minutes to set up and soundcheck, though if PA and lights are provided, we will be able to set in a shorter space of time. When planning your event, please make sure the band are given sufficient time to set up and soundcheck to ensure their best possible performance – a rushed setup can result in unbalanced sound, insufficient lighting, and uncomfortable musicians. However we will of course aim to set up as quickly as we can. Our standard working hours are 6pm - Midnight.

    How much space do you need to perform ?
    We’d ideally need around 18 square metres, 6m x 3m (20′ x 10′). Should space be an issue please don’t worry, as we can more than likely adjust (as we have done many times in the past). The core instruments of the band (drums, guitars, and keyboards) usually take up the most space, whereas singers and brass can ‘slot in’ to more easily.

    What happens if one of you is sick on the day ?
    Although the musicians you see in our promotional material will work with the band on most occasions, sometimes emergencies do happen. Should an emergency occur, we work with a pool of equally capable dep musicians, fully rehearsed and ready to step into the breach at short notice, so will you never have to worry that the band won’t be able to perform, or that the quality of the band will be affected.

    Do we need to provide you with food and drink ?
    All we ask for in addition to our fee is that you can provide food and soft drinks for the band (and any associated crew, if applicable). Our working hours start from the minute we turn the key in the ignition in the car to leave for your event, which can often mean long hours with very few (if any) breaks. Whilst we don’t necessarily expect a sit down meal, a hot meal is preferred. For example – If you’re providing a buffet or similar for your event, many clients often let the band help themselves along with their other guests.

    Can we discuss your set / our first dance with you ?
    Collectively the band have performed at hundreds of events over the years, in a wide variety of guises, so know exactly what it takes to get the party started. Through our years of experience we know exactly which songs to place where, with our sets being specifically tailored to make sure energy levels are sustained throughout the evening.That being said, we do of course welcome you to note your personal favourites (and pet hates!); but any specific requests, including first dances, should be sent to the band a minimum of 28 days prior to the date of engagement. The band will do their very best to adhere to all requests, but cannot guarantee all will be performed.

    What kind of occasions is your music suited to ?
    Our diverse repertoire is such that we play every kind of occasion imaginable! From 21st birthdays to gold and even platinum wedding anniversaries.
