One of our fab acts, Funkadelics, is booked to perform at the Captains Club’s ‘Fire and Ice’ Party on Friday 25th November, in Christchurch, Dorset. You may have seen our blog post a week or so ago about this venue – we performed at one of their other events and it was just stunning, so I’m sure this will be another fantastic evening!
This is actually a public event, so if you’d like to get tickets, have a look on the website here
We hope to see you there for a boogie! 
Oooh I love it when we get photos back! Here’s a selection of a few photos from last weeks showcase, courtesy of the awesomely talented Matt Pereira.
First up, a few ‘backstage’ shots… here’s the MIB boys doing a bit of last minute rehearsal…
Here’s the lovely Lindsay in preparations for the launch of her ‘Diva Sax’ act… (website coming soon by the way – its been in huge demand!)
Doing photos at the Langham was just a joy…everywhere you turn is another epic ‘picture moment’… check this out for a beautiful shot…
The beautiful Marianne performing her solo set…
Some shots of MIB as the 8 piece…
The awesome Francis entertained everyone while we changed bands over, with his beautiful cocktail piano, and later as a duo with the supremely talented Debbie…
Funkadelics then took to the stage…
Followed by our acoustic duo…
21st Century Riot…
We were very proud to then launch the first EVER performance of ‘Diva Sax’, which went down a storm! Please watch this space for the new website and video…
I love how every time our jazz trio plays, they have ‘naughty’ looks on their faces, like they’re doing something they shouldn’t…
And Motown Supreme were fabulous as always…
And then the 12 piece MIB took the stage, performing their Jewish medley and a 45mins set…
Our musicians have been up to all sorts lately! As well as rocking out at functions all over the country, they have been travelling the world performing as session musicians for some big name artistes…
I love the fact that our players have such fantastic careers elsewhere – its what makes our bands so great!

Good times ahead we think!
We were honoured to be part of Hannah & Karl’s special day at Stoke Park (Bucks) a few weeks ago. They obviously wanted to have a music-packed wedding, and we happily arranged the whole day’s entertainment for them.
The afternoon kicked off with Live Loungers who performed during the ceremony, including a beautiful rendition of ‘True Colours’ by Cindy Lauper.
‘The ceremony was gorgeous,’ said Rachel, who took lead vocals for Live Loungers. ‘I loved performing in the ceremony – it was a really personal and special touch to have the live music added to this part of the day.’
Live Loungers then moved out onto the terrace where they entertained the guests during their drinks reception, performing lush arrangements of well known pop and jazz tunes.
As Hannah, Karl and their guests sat down to dinner, our solo vocalist Emily Louise performed and kept everyone entertained with her gorgeous vocal tones!
Our DJ then kicked off the party as the guests finished eating, warming them up for Funkadelics, who then really kicked the party into gear! However not before the gorgeous couple performed their first dance, which was to ‘Feels Like Home’ by Chantal Kreviazuk (lovely choice too!)
The whole day went splendidly – we loved being so involved and having been able to design the whole days entertainment to flow from one act to the next meant that the whole schedule just worked perfectly.
We were very pleased to recieve this fantastic feedback from Hannah…
‘I just wanted to say a big thankyou to everyone who helped on our day on Saturday for our wedding. I cannot thankyou enough and every song that was sung was absolutely brilliant. All my guests kept commenting on how amazing the band was , the solo singer, dj, live loungers! I will definitely be using you again for any upcoming events I may have and will recommend you to anyone having a wedding.
You have all been so great and professional right from the beginning, and I can honestly say my wedding wouldn’t of been the same without you guys. Every set matched the mood of the wedding throughout the day and the only wish I have is if I could of had you longer!
You really got the party started and the music was for all ages, I was so nervous about booking a band at the first but you really reassured me and exceeded all my expectations.’
Thank you Hannah & Karl, we loved every minute of it!
