THE BLUE LION BAND We're live music experts, wedding enthusiasts, and party starters. We're a premium, customisable 3 to 14 piece band specialising in high-energy music for festivals, weddings, corporate events, and private functions–at a sensible price. We infuse every event with energy and fun and pride ourselves on filling dance floors. Founded in 2015, the Blue Lion Band has been setting the industry standard for event music in the UK ever since. Our musicians are passionate about creating memorable events. Their talent and experience guarantees that every Blue Lions event is seamless, so clients can focus on life rather than stressing over the details. As students of music, studio regulars, and touring sound engineers for high profile bands, we started performing together in 2015. These gigs quickly turned into requests to perform at private events and festivals. We loved seeing the joy and full dance floors that we could bring to these events. We perfected our event planning, expanded our repertoire, added members to the band–and the rest is history! Some Bands & Artists We've Performed With: Alicia Keys, Ellie Goulding, George Michael, Gotye, Jamiroquai, Jason Derulo, Kanye West, Mark Knopfler, Robbie Williams, Spice Girls, Tom Jones, Wet Wet Wet, Liam Payne. WEDDINGS There’s no better feeling than seeing the look of love when a couple's friends and family join them on the dance floor. That feeling is why we love what we do. - Ceremony Whether you prefer traditional music, classical songs, or modern tunes, we can work with you to set the perfect tone for your day. - Cocktails Start the party off right with a jazz quartet or easy listening trio to accompany your cocktails & canapés. - Reception This is where we really shine - amazing dance parties are how the Blue Lions have earned their fantastic reputation! We pride ourselves on our high energy, flawless performance–it’s all about great preparation and a genuine love for what we do to ensure you have the best night of your life. Planning a destination wedding? We travel around the world! We want you to love the music! We pride ourselves on knowing just what to play and when to play it. It isn't enough just to fill your dance floor - we want you to love the music! We'll create a set list based on your musical preferences to ensure that every song from the start of the day until you drive away together as a married couple is tailored especially for you. Or, if you prefer, just leave it all up to us. CORPORATE We are trusted by some of the UK’s leading organisations. Our corporate service is unrivalled. Some of the country's leading companies rely on the Blue Lions to deliver epic event music. Our repertoire ranges from Great Gatsby Extravaganzas to 90’s Throwback Parties and everything in between.

We had Blue Lion Band for our wedding on 9 December and they were fantastic! We had a pre-call a few weeks before where we indicated what sort of music we would be keen on, based on their repertoire, and they took care of the rest! The dance floor was full for the entire time and they knew which songs to pull out at which point to keep energy high! Thanks so much for creating a great evening!

Countless! Here are some of the artists we've shared a stage with: • Alicia Keys • Ellie Goulding • George Michael • Gotye • Jamiroquai • Jason Derulo • Mark Knopfler • Robbie Williams • Spice Girls • Tom Jones • Wet Wet Wet

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-auditioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band, our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line up is completely customisable from 3 to 14 pieces. You can mix and match: - Drums - Bass - Male Guitar Lead Singer - Keyboards - Front Female Lead Singer - Saxophone - Trumpet - Trombone - Front Male Lead Singer - Percussionist

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know to see what we can do.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free as long as it falls within our 5hr window period which begins from the time that you would like us to have completed our band setup. There is an extra cost if it falls out of that window.

How much time do you need to set up?

We suggest at least 90mins for the band setup/soundcheck. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance if necessary!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we cater to all our clients. We use your music preferences as a guide when we are building our setlist idea. We never stick to a specific setlist as we gauge our audience through the night.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

All PA is included in your quote and we also provide basic stage lighting for the band only. The space required will depend on your preferred band size which we can decide.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We offer to learn up to 3 special song requests as long as they are applicable to the band size.
