ABOUT US: From chilled background music at a sophisticated drinks reception to high-energy, dancefloor fillers at a rockin' party - Eccentric Pony have you covered! Eccentric Pony are a group of pro musicians with a wealth of experience and talent who will tailor their performance perfectly to your event. We know exactly how to get the party started and keep it going all night long. We spent several winter seasons touring the après ski circuit in the alps, playing to all kinds of audiences every day of the week. Now the party band returns to the UK, to play for all of you. WHAT WE OFFER: Specialising in Weddings, Corporate Events and Parties of all kinds with line-ups to suit your event and budget! • Solo acoustic (guitar, kick drum, vocals and party vibes), • Acoustic duo (guitar, percussion and vocal harmonies), • Electric/Acoustic trio (adding bass and an extra vocal harmony), • Full electric band (for when things need to step up a gear). We have a huge repertoire for you to choose from - you can dictate the entire set, pick a few songs you'd like to hear, or just leave it all to us - we'll read the crowd and ensure the music is perfect for your event. Good times are guaranteed! SET UP / PERFORMANCE: All bookings include a suitable PA system, lighting rig and recorded music between live sets. We are based in the North West and are available nationwide and internationally. A typical event may consist of 3 x 40-minute sets or 2 x 60-minute sets. Each lineup will take a minimum of 45 minutes to set up. Eccentric Pony offer a bespoke service, so please get in touch so we can help plan your perfect event!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Our clients love Eccentric Pony's huge repertoire and versatility. There's plenty of crowd interaction and good times are guaranteed. We'll get the party started and keep it going all night!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

We've played all over the UK and Europe.

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

We treat all our gigs with the same level of enthusiasm and showmanship. Whether it's a European festival, a celebrity wedding, a corporate event or Auntie Vera's retirement bash. We give 110% Every. Single. Time.

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?

Our line-ups are as follows: • Solo acoustic (guitar, kick drum, vocals and party vibes), • Acoustic duo (guitar, percussion and vocal harmonies), • Electric/Acoustic trio (adding bass and an extra vocal harmony), • Full electric band (for when things need to step up a gear).

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

We always try our 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! A DJ Service is included free of charge for every booking.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually arrive 2 hours before performance time. If turn-around is tight we can set up in 1 hour. A comfortable set-up for the full band would be no less than 4m wide and 3m deep. 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?

Yes! Feel free to pick songs from our full repertoire list that is available on request. You can pick as many or as few songs as you like. Or none at all. We are used to reading the crowd and gauging the right songs to play to keep everyone happy. Picking a handful of songs is usually a good idea so we know the kind of thing you’re expecting.

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

Of course! The band is self-sufficient, so we supply everything needed for our performance including PA and lighting rig. We do require a clean power supply and some refreshments/meals for the band and crew. All our equipment is PAT tested annually and we always have a valid PLI certificate.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Of course! If you have any special requests for wedding songs we will do our best to accommodate. However, many couples choose to have a recorded version of their first dance (especially if they’ve been practising their dance routine!)

Eccentric Pony played at our wedding in May, and they were amazing!!!! We honestly loved having them and all our guests were raving about them. From the moment we booked them, Jimmy was always contactable and made the process very easy, he contacted the venue directly to ensure everything was okay- which meant we did not have too! They were very adaptable with timings and played the songs we chose. Honestly, we loved having you guys play and would highly recommend to everyone! Thankyou so so so so much. Phoebe and Luke xx

Eccentric pony were absolutely BRILLIANT they catered to all our special requests and even took a request off a family member mid set. They put on a brilliant show and even tool the show off the dance floor to keep people coming back and making a vibe. They were also early and such pleasant guys to speak to and I cannot recommend them enough!

We booked Eccentric Pony as our wedding band. The guys were all great and got everyone on the dancefloor, everyone said how good they were afterwards. A really good variety of songs from different genres and decades, and open to other requests. Would definitely recommend!”
