About


Consisting of the finest session musicians, The Monitors regularly perform at over 200 weddings, corporate events and private parties each and every day of the year and cover all the biggest hits from the 50s through to the modern day.

The Monitors constantly update their repertoire to keep up with the changing times and ultimately offer the same amazing lead vocals, top notch equipment and outstanding musicianship that you'd expect.

When not performing with The Monitors, these accomplished musicians can be found appearing in a West End theatre pit or alongside named artists including Dave Grohl, Pulp & Westlife.

No two sets are ever the same; every set is based upon audience reaction or decided with the client in advance. The Monitors can also supply you with a Jazz/Swing set during dinner or drinks. Professionally mixed recorded music is available throughout the breaks or why not hire an additional DJ and benefit from 30,000 classic and current hits?

Become the star for the night and augment your evening with a set of bandeoke (karaoke with a live band)!

We hired The Monitors for our wedding in East Sussex in August. They were absolutely great and made our wedding extra special. Their choice of songs was pitched perfectly to get everyone dancing regardless of age and the dance floor was packed all night. They were completely professional in all respects from handling drunken requests for songs from guests and even when we ended up running horrifically late the band were completely understanding and did everything they could to make things work out. I can recommend The Monitors without hesitation.

WoW!! what a band. Absolutely perfect singing throughout the evening. Our guests were mesmerised by the quality and diversity of their repetoire. We are sooooooo sooooooooooo pleased we made the right choice to have the Monitors play at our wedding on the 25/08/12. So much so our guests cannot stop talking about them. They kept the venue rocking!! Thank you for all your hard work and for making our wedding day complete and special. Cheers Caroline & Michael x
