Short Description

Experienced function band playing weddings, corporate events, military and private functions and guaranteed to get your audience up and dancing!

Beat Connection is an experienced and professional party band playing well-known party classics that are guaranteed to get your audience dancing and singing along. Starting out with some soul and rock'n'roll (I feel good / Higher and Higher / Proud Mary / Hound Dog), moving on to a bit of 70's (Hot Stuff / Superstition / September), some 80's and 90's (Billy Jean / Sweet Child of Mine / Sing it Back) as well as some much more up to date party hits (Uptown Funk / Can't Stop the Feeling / Shape of you / Hold my Hand / Shut up and dance / Sex on Fire), all of our songs are guarant to fill the dancefloor. As a professional band, we are of course fully self-contained, and all of the following is included in our quotes as standard: - 2x shows of 1 hour of live music - All sound and lighting equipment - Full Public Liability Insurance - PAT Tested equipment - Recorded Background music during your meal as well as filler music in between our live sets and until the end of the night.

What to expect

WHAT TO EXPECT We would normally arrive at the venue around 6pm, set up and sound check by 7.30pm, and play our two sets at times agreed with you. From the minute our sound system is plugged in, we are more than happy to start playing recorded music. We have separate set lists appropriate for different times of the day; for example we will play more background jazz, swing and easy listening numbers whilst people are dining, but we will start to bring both the volume and the beats up as we get closer to the band's live sets, to ensure that the guests' ears get used to the volume level. We will normally set up at the end of the meal, and will need to do a sound check to ensure the mix of the instruments make sense. This is normally done in a song or two. It does have to be done at full volume, but we find that it actually adds to the excitement of having a band. We will of course always check that you're not in the middle of your speeches and the time is right for us to start sound check. We will then disappear off to a separate area, we'll get changed into our stage gear, the girls will do their make up, we'll grab a bit to eat, and get ready to start. We are always more than happy to learn a first dance for weddings and can make as big (or as small) a deal as you want us to. We'll play the first dance and then go into the first set for 60 minutes. Then usually it's a 30 mins break and back on for the second set. The music tends to get more up to date as we get closer to the end of the night and we finish the night on a high with a couple of encores.

Dear Alex, I just want to thank you, Matt and the rest of your fantastic band for helping to make my party on saturday (07.12.2019) such a great success. I couldn't have been more pleased and so many of my guests made a point of saying how great your band was. The music for every aspect of the evening, background music as the guests arrived. Matts DJ sections and of course the 2 live sets was judged just right and kept the party moving along in the way I had hoped. I must also thank you for the professional way you liaised with me from the initial contact onwards to make sure that my expectations for the evening were completely met. Thank you so much Alex, you and Beat Connection made my 60th party such a memorable event !

Where to start?! Beat Connection played at our wedding on Saturday (1.9.2018). They came as a recommendation from another supplier and OH MY they did not disappoint! Alex was incredibly professional, warm and efficient throughout the entire booking process. She listened to and answered my endless list of questions and put me at complete ease that I had booked an absolute winner of a band (considering we had not actually seen them live before we booked them). They were so accommodating with our requests and made our night incredibly personal to us. On the night the band set up flawlessly whilst we were finishing food. Their filler music got everyone in the mood and then once they started playing the dance floor was completely packed until the bitter end. The band is full of incredibly talented musicians (I would definitely recommend going for the 7 piece option to include a saxophonist:trumpeter!) Their playlist was varied, the list of incredible tunes just goes on and on and on.... Beat Connection made our wedding day end with a bang. They are phenomenal - I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough. Thanks guys - you’re the BEST!!!!!!! All the love, Rich and Rach xxx

Absolutely Amazing!!! Beat Connection were able to play at my 40th party (27.5.18) at late notice and to say we LOVED them would be a massive understatement!! The playlist was perfect, the band fantastic, vocals awesome....the overall energy created had us dancing and singing along all night. Safe to say I very highly recommend them...if you want an amazing band bringing fun and energy to your event...no need to look any further!! Alex was great at keeping in touch with me and always clear in messages and phone calls. She sorted the planning out directly with the venue which was just great for me and ensured all was sorted ready for me to just enjoy the evening celebrations! All my party guests often talk about how fantastic the band were
