Need an education in partying? The Party Professors are experts in their field…. This captivating musical duo’s unique blend of live instrumentation and DJing creates an exhilarating musical experience that keeps audiences grooving all night long. Let them guide you through an extraordinary curriculum of high-impact medleys, ‘til you’re dancing like you've earned a doctorate in partyology…. The duo's journey began at Oxford University, where both ‘Profs’ (Joel Fishel and Joshua Barr) were members of the internationally acclaimed a cappella group Out of the Blue. This talented ensemble garnered widespread attention with their viral hits, catching the attention of the legendary Shakira, and leading them to reach the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent. After graduating from their studies at Oxford, Joel reached the live finals of The X Factor UK with duo Jack and Joel, whilst Josh honed his skills as a backing vocalist for the likes of Tom Odell, Keane, and Orlando Weeks. After their respective successes, Joel and Josh decided to combine their talents and create something truly extraordinary. The Party Professors’ expertly crafted medleys showcase their stand-out vocals and instrumental prowess: expect pulsating guitar, electrifying synthesizers, and luscious live saxophone, as they seamlessly transition from one timeless hit to another. So, get ready to surrender to the irresistible beats, let loose on the dance floor, and join The Party Professors in creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

We leave everything on the stage! Our love of performing and bring audiences together is infectious and unparalleled. No phoning it in here!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

We've performed at some stunning wedding venues across the UK and Europe!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Oooo it's a tricky one! Our musical passions span a host of genres and eras, hence creating our set of medleys! It's the perfect blend of the best music through the decades! ...but if we absolutely had to pick one artist we'd have to go with Fleetwood Mac!

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

We mostly play at our client's weddings - which is about as special a day as you can get! Besides those, we've done awards ceremonies and corporate Xmas parties.

Do you have different line-up options?

Nope, what you see is what you get; an excited Joel and an equally excited Josh!

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

Of course we'll do everything we can to accommodate some changes but we can't always ensure that it's possible since our time is valuable and our diaries often very busy so please do try and respect our time as much as possible!

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

We definitely offer this service and we know how to get the dance floor busy even when we're off the stage. We can discuss this add on when negotiating the pricing of the performance.

How much time do you need to set up?

We do need setup time and sound check which can vary depending on the venues but should be able to turn it around in 1-1.5 hours.

Can you roam around while you perform?

There are moments during our set where we roam and jump into the crowd to have a boogy with you all whilst rapping and singing away.

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

Do feel free to enquire and ask away but just remember that our set is comprised of medleys so it's not possible to change songs within a medley.

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

We are currently not bringing a PA system to gigs at the moment but rather will sort the renting of the PA system so you don't have to worry about any tech bits. We will be totally transparent with the prices of rentals so there'll be no surprise expenses when you book us.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Please do go ahead and ask away. If there's a song that's particularly special then we'd love to try and accommodate it!
