Meet The Sonic Boom Team

Matt Smith (Guitar/Vocals) - What can we say about our Guitarist/Vocalist Matt?! With a haircut that's a cross between Jonny Bravo and a member of the Peaky Blinders gang, this guy gives 110% at every performance! Here is the guy that isnt afraid to make those important announcements down the microphone at your party in front of an audience. Matt is a self taught musician who picked up the guitar as an escape from growing up in the social care system. Matt has progressed from those early days to go onto to have over 14 years experience playing in Function bands that have played across the UK and overseas. Matt is also an accomplished songwriter who released his first solo EP in 2012 and is currently working on new material for a second album. He is also a session musician and loves spending time in the studio laying new original tracks down with other artists and bands. With licks that would make Kiss jealous, Matt also brings the comedy element to the band! During the week, Matt is a youth worker /motivational speaker and enjoys meeting people from all walks of life. Watch out for Matt knee sliding on the dancefloor with his favourite red Gibson guitar all whilst playing your favourite guitar solo's! Kevin Bartlett (Drums/Vocals) - What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians? The Drummer! Meet Kev... He's the guy who really knows how to keep the beat pumping all night long! (Insert Lionel Richie impression here) Kev - our Drummer/Vocalist has experience playing with a multitude of bands with varying genres including: Blues, Soul, Progressive Rock, Jazz and Pop. He has worked with Chicago based Camille and Kennerly aka 'the Harp Twins', is currently the drummer for international band 'Eumeria' and has also been featured in 'Modern Drummer' magazine (2014) and is endorsed by Duallist drums and pedals. Although Kev hits hard, he is mild mannered and very approachable. Kev is the scientist of the band and loves nothing more than mixing and mastering tracks in the studio for various artists and producing our great live sound. Kev is also a graphic designer who is responsible for designing all of the Sonic Boom marketing and website. He can usually be found throwing questionable shapes on the dancefloor when he isn't playing his now infamous drum solo! Simon Lees - (Bass/Vocals) - Who lays down the groove all night and keeps all the guests dancing - that will be our ultra cool bass player and lead vocalist Simon. Simon is famous in his own right having won guitarist of the year in 1998, appeared on ITV's 'Stars In Their Eyes' programme, toured and written with Welsh metal outfit Budgie (whom world famous band Metallica cite as an influence and have covered some of their songs). Simon even has his own WIKIPEDIA page outlining his impressive musical experience! As well as gigging extensively with his one man rock show Simon also teaches people of all ages guitar and bass. A humble and experienced musician with expertise in lead vocal, guitar and bass duties you can be sure a Sonic Boom show with Simon will blow you away. You can catch Simon at shows rocking out with his long hair and belting out the party classics with the rest of the band! Nikki Simmons (Female Lead Vocalist) - Nikki is a bubbly , chatty , happy all American girl who has an amazing vocal range. Nikki isn't afraid to jump around and get involved whilst performing, so much so we have sometimes lost her in the crowd of people partying and dancing away! Aswell as being a great vocalist and Youtube star Nikki is vegan, loves animals and enjoys a good book/film. Nikki is available to book alongside the band for your event so let us know if you would also like some female lead vocals alongside our male ones and we will send you a quote for her services. Suzy Taylor (Band/Event Photographer/Female DJ) - Our super friendly band photographer Suzy (PeachyPix) is also part of the Sonic Boom team. Suzy can be booked alongside the band to capture all of your special party memories. Suzy started her photography journey in 2015 and is responsible for all of the images and videos you see on this site. Having now established herself as a professional photographer Suzy has lots of experience capturing priceless images at corporate events, weddings, birthdays, christenings, cake smashes and of new born babies with their families. With a very friendly and natural approach Suzy puts her all into making sure you will have snaps to look back on in years to come that will make you laugh over those cringe dance moves or shed a slight tear over a loving moment caught between the newly weds. Suzy can be found asking your guests to strike a pose whilst she captures those priceless memories. Suzy can also be booked as one of our female DJ's, her friendly nature and warm energy means she is approachable and will listen to your song requests on the night. Lynsey Billing (Female DJ) - Nicknamed the 'pocket rocket' our female DJ Lynsey has more energy than a duracell battery. She brings her passion for music to the Sonic Boom team and is available to hire as a DJ at your event alongside the band. Drawing on great customer service skills that have developed over years of being a spin instructor Lynsey will bring the life to your party, so don't worry if no one is dancing - she will be! Lynsey is also a friendly and happy go lucky character who will get everyone involved and make sure you have a fantastic evening.

FAQ

Q: How long does setup take? A: Ideally the band needs a minimum of 2 hours to set up before performing. Please allow extra time if your occasion is on any floor other than the ground floor or if there are steps, walkways or other access restrictions to the venue. For an additional fee the band can arrange an early setup for convenience. The band will need to carry out a sound check before they begin their performance so please bear this in mind. This is to ensure volume levels are appropriate for the venue and to diagnose any acoustic or feedback issues.
Q: What are your space and power requirements? A: We require for an indoor venue at least 4 plug sockets to run our equipment off that are close to the performance area. As a guide the band needs enough room to cater for drums, bass and guitar set up, PA system and lighting rig. The minimum space required is Width -16 ft (4.87 metres) and Length (depth of stage) 10 ft (3.1 metres). We can adapt to spaces and venues but these measurements will give you a guide. We get asked to perform at a lot of private parties and outdoor events and this may require some of our customers to hire a generator. The band needs enough power to cater for all of their PA, lighting and musical amplifiers, so if you are having to hire your own generator for an event, the bands power output will be just under 10KVA, which means that you will need to look at a power source of well over this to ensure that your generator will have enough headroom.
Q: Do you take requests? A: The band has a tried and tested set list which is regularly updated. Any specific song requests can be met subject to an extra fee to cover additional rehearsal time required for new material. If you let us know during the booking stage we can decide as a band if we have enough time to learn your specific song (we are out performing at events frequently) and whether our instrumentation and vocals will suit the particular song. We would much rather be upfront and honest with you and if we can play it live we can play it via our PA system or if you book our Female DJ package alongside us they can ensure its in their playlist! If you would like to hear a specific song (s) the band can not perform then please specify this during the booking stage and for a small extra cost our resident DJ's Peachy Mix & DJ Spin can be booked along with the band and will be on hand all night to take requests from you and your guests.
