Launched in 2014 and available from a Duo up to a 6-piece Band, including in the lineup singers with 25+ of music industry experience between us, the Vanbrugh Hill Music Syndicate was formed to source Special events, Private events and Corporate functions. The band can cover from Soul to Pop, RnB, Jazz and Motown classics. We serve the UK and Europe with high-quality live music production to fulfil the personal musical requirements for each event. Over the years, our members have assembled high-profile experiences working with big industry names such as Phil Collins, Beverly Knight, Take That, Westlife, and Michael Jamie Cullum, to name a few. Our members also performed live on TV shows like This Morning and legendary stages such as Glastonbury. What makes our band incredible is our passion and desire to entertain your guests and deliver an unforgettable live show that will keep your guest raving about it for weeks to come. We appreciate that your guests might have a wide taste in music - we always strive to deliver a live performance pleasant to all tastes and ages. Our goal is to make sure everybody is dancing and having a great time! Our wealth of collective experience in live performance allows us to cross genres, from Pop, Soul, Motown Classics and Jazz. We are a professional and flexible band of musicians and often accept requests not included in our performance sets. One of our highest-profile gigs came from an International invitation to perform in Lithuania, opening the new Artagonist Hotel in Vilnius for a Corporate event in front of an audience of 300+ special guests. The outcome was very successful, allowing us to secure three further performances there! So if you are looking for a band that not only looks good but also sounds great and can provide the very best in live music for your special occasion, look no further than The Vanbrugh Hill Music Syndicate. WE AIM TO PLEASE - WE ARE THE NUMBER ONE!!

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

One of our highest-profile gigs came from an International invitation to perform in Lithuania, opening the new Artagonist Hotel in Vilnius for a Corporate event in front of an audience of 300+ special guests. The outcome was very successful, allowing us to secure three further performances there!

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?

Yes, we are available from a Duo up to a 6-piece Band. We can discuss different options depending on what's required for your event!

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

We always strive to do our very 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.

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.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. 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!

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're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

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

No. However, we can recommend PA and Lighting hire companies to you for your event.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you.
