About The Pocket Beats

Fun-sized events band playing seriously big tunes! Multiple singers, 4 live instruments, your favourite music, and lots of energy :)
Wedding band
Slough
Public liability insurance of £10 million

The Pocket Beats came together to distill their favourite elements of performing live into a 3-piece band with the biggest possible sound. Adding a keyboard to the classic guitar/bass/drums combo, the mission is to get everyone singing - that’s all 3 band members, and the audience too! Expect hits from every era plus rock, funk, and an extra sprinkling of dance tunes to turn any venue into a nightclub before the evening’s up. Throw in some fun mashups and medleys, and you have a recipe to unite the whole room on the dancefloor. Have the music tailored to your favourites, with a live song request included as standard, along with bespoke playlists for band breaks. You can even opt for a live-mixed DJ set to keep the party going on longer. The band cover a wide area including London, Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and more. We have years of experience performing at weddings, parties, corporate events, balls - just about every kind of event - and we love them all. This allows us to make sure things always run smoothly, from the sound to the formalities, the timings, and reading the room to make sure everyone is having a great time. We'll liaise directly with your venue staff, and make sure the music brings your vision to life.

Had such a great party thanks to The Pocket Beats. They were a great band, really nice guys and musically incredibly talented. Very helpful discussion beforehand regarding practicalities and the set list - some great party numbers that got everyone up & dancing. Would highly recommend!

I have to say just how incredible the band were on our wedding night. We received SO many compliments on how good they were, and it was genuinely one of our highlights of the entire day. The dance floor was constantly packed and everyone had a great time. Thank you guys!

Customer questions

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

No problem. The most important thing is that your event puts a smile on your face, and we'll help however we can. We can update the timings whenever new information becomes available, and we're no strangers to adapting on the night as required. Our default timings are setup by 7pm, midnight finish, but anything is possible so just ask for a quote :)

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

We include music playlists at no extra cost before/between/after our live sets, tailored to your music preferences and the flow of your event. You can also upgrade to live-mixed DJ sets from the decks with our DJ Booth or Compact DJ option alongside the band.

How much time do you need to set up?

We recommend at least 90mins total, but we can get some music on right away if you like! Most of our setup is totally discreet and quiet, it's only the last 15-20mins when we perform a live sound check to perfect the sound (at performance volume). If this isn't practical for your event we'll work around it - get in touch and we'll discuss the best option.

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

Yeah! Have a browse through our list and tell us which favourites stand out to you. We'll include these in the show, as well as adapting to the audience on the night to keep the right energy level flowing.

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

Yes - everything needed for fantastic sound and lighting is included, along with PAT electrical certification and Public Liability Insurance. We just need mains power nearby and we're good to go!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes - we include a new live song request as standard so let us know if there's something you'd like us to play. Check our song list too for more ideas! We'd also love to know more generally what music you and your guests are into so we can tailor our live sets and DJ playlists to cater for as many people as possible.
