Verified profile

Pharaoh & The Beats are an Essex and Devon based function band. We joined together in 2015 and the band has six core members consisting of Leanne (Lead Vocals), Emma (Vocals), Gareth (Guitar), Charlie (Bass), Jerome (Keys) & Stacy (Drums) and now also including a brass section with trumpet, saxophone and tenor sax! The band perform covers consisting of pop, rock, soul and funk ranging from the 60's 'til now. They perform for weddings, parties, corporate functions and provide a fun and bubbly atmosphere, happily taking requests prior to the event. They also perform as a 2-piece acoustic duo called Pharaoh & The Beats, which works well for smaller locations or during a wedding breakfast. They are also happy to perform during ceremonies if required. Check out our videos and listen to our demo here on Encore for a taste of what Pharaoh & The Beats can bring to your special occasion.

Pharaoh & The Beats' Reviews

5 out of 5

This band is truly outstanding. Lead vocalist, Leanne, is excellent and she is cohesively supported by an excellent group of highly accomplished musicians. The playlist was perfect for our party and many of the songs are still echoing in our heads. Having said that, the audio mix was perfect and the music volume was spot on, at an appropriate energy level with room for communication on the dance floor. Every guest claimed that this was the best band they had ever experienced. We hope to have them back in Warwickshire soon!

Hi Leanne, a note to say thank you for such a brilliant performance at our party on Saturday. The music and your singing was incredible. We had such a happy day and you had the dance floor filled from the first song. I hope you have the future success you deserve!

They were amazing at our wedding over the bank holiday weekend! All of our guests couldn't stop talking about them and how good Leanne was singing! They covered a variety song over the years and the dance floor was buzzing! Shouting for more and more at the end of the night! We were lucky to have the 6 piece band for our wedding night and then the acoustic duo for the next day!! 100% Recommend!!!

Last nght we had the pleaseure of working with the band. We provided the stage sound and lighting for the Castor Festival. The band were great to work with, very profesional , easy going and just all round nice people. As a 9 peice band they have a great sound teriffic harmonies through great backing vocals, something so often missing in bands. They proved a real hit with the audience and engaged in banter with the crowd making their sets all the more enjoyable. Top marks and I am very happy to offer them my recomendation

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

We think they love the fact that we interact with them. We like to work off the audience and let them know that we are having as much fun as they are.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Some of the venues we have performed at in the past are Hampton Court House, Parklands Quendon Hall, High Barn, Herons Farm, Tuffon Hall, South Farm, to name a few.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

As a covers band, we play a complete variety which is a bit of everything the band like, and also that we know the audience will like. We try to include something from each era, and we are constantly adding to our repertoire. These influences could be anything from Beyoncé to Tina Turner, Sam Smith and Bruno Mars to Stevie Wonder.

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

We always use the same lead singer and strive to make sure the rest of the line-up that 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 standard lineup is Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals, Guitar, Keys, Bass and Drums. We can offer a 9-piece option (to include brass), 4-piece (which excludes backing vocals & keys), as well as an acoustic duo called 'Pharaoh & The Beats' (one singer and acoustic guitar).

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

No problem, please get in contact as soon as you know of any time changes. We understand that things can change for events, so we try to be as flexible as possible.

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

Yes, we offer a complimentary iPod/DJ service via our PA until 11pm. We can continue after this time for an extra charge or discuss a DJ add-on option.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually allow around 1-1.5 hours before performance time to set up and sound check. If you need us to set up slightly earlier to avoid being in the way of guests, we are happy to discuss this with you and work with you as best we can.

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 are up and dancing and having an amazing time. We are, however, happy for you to voice any major 'No no's' to ensure we find what works for your event.

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

Yes, PA and lighting are included within the quote, and we generally require a minimum of 6 x 4 metres of space to perform.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, we'll happily learn 1 unique song choice for your occasion as a complimentary service in all our quotes. If you'd like any extra songs thereafter, there is a fee of £50 per song to take into account rehearsal times etc.
