Trying to find a mobile band that can perform outdoors without amplification and still manage to draw a crowd can be extremely difficult. A string quartet or acoustic guitarist might be ideal if its for a small private function but as soon as you start to upscale to a shopping centre opening or a sports venue with thousands of fans milling about then, you have a problem! The band needs to be mobile in order to mingle with the crowd so you can't have large heavy instruments or be tied down with cables. Some bands use expensive (often antique) wooden instruments and will not play outdoors unless its dry and what ever you go for, it has to be loud enough to be heard over the ambient noise.
Here are a few inspirational ideas that work incredibly well at large outdoor events....
A young and energetic team with a modern take on what a brass band should be. The band have cleverly adapted some fantastic rock and pop hits and injected bags of fun in the process.
Booking options include everything from a 5 piece, right up to a 10 piece, which includes a fabulous and funky vocalist if required.
