About The LOL band

A whole lotta fun! If you want to dance to some of the best music ever made, we are the band for you!
Function band
Guildford
Public liability insurance of £10 million

We are a live band, based in Surrey, that perform at all sorts of events, all over the UK. We love to perform at weddings, corporate events, private parties, birthday parties, awards ceremonies – you name it, if there’s dancing and good times needed, we are the band for you! The most important things to tell you about us is that we LOVE what we do. Seriously – there is no greater thing to make us smile other than us bouncing around at your party performing fun dance-floor filling tunes and seeing you all have a great time. We’ve been doing this for years and years and are all full time musicians. Other bits to mention are that we play a lot of modern day music (so lots of Bruno Mars, Gaga, Rhianna etc) as well as all the usual classics (James Brown, Aretha Franklyn, Beatles…anything remotely dance-worthy from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, and you better believe we play it!). We come as a small 3 piece lineup (female vocals, keyboards and guitar), or a 4 piece with drums, so we are perfect to suit most budgets and venue sizes, and we perform to a backing track which means we sound like a much larger band!   We have a huge amount of experience and have played at thousands of events over the past 10 years. We used to be known under another name ‘The Funkadelics’ but decided the ‘LOL Band’ is way more our style these days. We’ve performed all over the world (Dubai. Abu Dhabi, Egypt, all over Europe and lots more), and our corporate clients have included: John Lewis Halifax Lloyds TSB Prudential Sainsburies Yell AWE TNT Express RBS hundreds of military bases Scottish Life Bupa Lexus Nokia Npower Thames Water   We are super duper professional (we sadly don't live up to the rock’n roll musicians rumours in any way – there won’t be any TVs being thrown out of windows – we do however live off an addiction to coffee and M&S sandwiches most of the time!) We have a huge collection of musicians who play with us, and collectively we’ve worked with artistes like Jools Holland, Jameroquai, Amy Winehouse, Lemar, Liberty X, Lily Allen, Professor Green, Rudimental, Robbie Williams, Lulu and many more.

LOL Band were absolutely fabulous, great fun, great music. They were perfect for our wedding party. The only complaint I received was, we want them to continue playing!! Which I think is more of a compliment!! Would highly recommend. Karen

I fell in love with the cutest venue for my 40th birthday, but once I'd booked it I realised I didn't have much room for a band. I found the LOL band who were able to work with smaller spaces than most - and WOW, they may be small but they sure don't compromise on impact! They had the whole room dancing from the minute the began until the end of the night. I couldn't believe it - even all my old relatives that I thought would be wall flowers or leave early were dancing. There really was something for everyone - one minute they'd be playing the latest chart hits, and the next they'd be onto something soulful and older - each song worked perfectly. We had so much fun. Thank you SO much to all of you!

We booked the LOL band for our wedding, and my wife and I couldn't have been more pleased. They performed our first dance beautifully (a moment we will never forget) and their voices - just incredible. We had so much fun. The set list was brilliant and we really appreciated all the extras like the playlist in the breaks etc. They really did provide the whole package! Highly recommended.

Customer questions

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

We try to keep our lineup the same wherever possible - however we do have a few replacement singers just incase the musicians in our video are ill or called away. This means that we will never let you down, so we hope it gives you confidence in our reliability. Our musicians and singers are always of the highest quality and professionalism

Do you have different line-up options?

We are available as a 3 piece (female vocals, guitar and keyboards with vocals) or a 4 piece (adding in drums).

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

We are very flexible! There are a few situations where this may mean an extra charge - for example if we need to arrive before 5p.m and wait around a long time before performing, or finishing after 1a.m, but most time changes we can accommodate for no extra charge

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

Yes! We can either provide a full DJ service for no extra charge, or for free we can provide a mixed playlist (which you are welcome to give us requests for!)

How much time do you need to set up?

We like to leave 2 hours but in reality 90mins is fine if there's a time restriction

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

We'd love to get an idea of what you will enjoy, so recommend letting us know your faves from our repertoire list (and of course, just as important - your least faves!). Our musical director will then craft the setlist based on tempos, dynamics etc.

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

Yes

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes we are happy to learn 1 song request before the event. We can also learn more but would need to charge extra for rehearsal time
