The 145s

The 145s are an energetic, versatile and experienced function band. We're London-based but we have taken our music all over the UK. We specialise in blues, soul, motown, rock 'n' roll and funk from the 60s right up to the present day, with a great selection of current and classic pop covers too. We mix well-known versions of great tunes with our own thrilling arrangements featuring our trademark vocal harmony. We'll happily learn new material at your request and we'll even arrange it especially if you want something from another genre - all part of the service. We usually play as a seven-piece band: Natalie (vocals), Charlie (vocals and trumpet), Jon (sax), Chris (guitar and vocals), Tim (keyboard and vocals), Alex (bass and vocals) and Ed (drums and vocals). We will happily scale down to a four- or five-piece combo (or even smaller if needed), or up to a full nine-piece show band by adding extra horns. We've got years of experience providing entertainment at weddings, birthday parties and corporate functions but we can provide great live music whatever the occasion. Filling a dancefloor is our particular pleasure. A typical performance is 3 x 60min sets with background music in-between, but we'll happily adapt to your needs. We provide all equipment including PA, backline and lights - we just need power. We also have full public liability insurance.
