About Lunch Special

Bluegrass band

London

Public liability insurance of £1 million

Lunch Special is a London-based Country and Bluegrass band. Members Neala Hickey, Vivian Li, and Luca Serino have roots spreading across three continents. In 2016, the three met at a bluegrass picking in London pub, where they bonded over a passion for stringed instruments, harmony singing, murder ballads, chicken, beer, and all things American. They play and sing traditional bluegrass classics, lesser known old songs, and also their own originals. While they take inspiration from Appalachian music, bluegrass, and country, their diverse musical backgrounds bring together something that is their own sound. The band has showcased for the Americana Music Association, played major festivals and they have just recorded their debut EP, which will be coming out in 2019.

Can’t you hear me calling

On and on

Where the soul of man never dies

Lunch Special played for our Anniversary and they were fantastic. They were really flexible and easy to work with. The music got everyone dancing and it was perfect for the occasion.

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! We especially loved the vocal harmonies. We loved the music and so did our guests.
