About / Biography

Electric Moonlight plays the classic sax and guitar anthems of the 70s and 80s by popular global artists like Gerry Rafferty, Hazel O'Connor, Think Lizzy, Supertramp, Hall & Oats, Tears For Fears, Bryan Ferry, George Michael, T-Rex and many more. Our songs also feature complex vocals and harmonies. We play the songs that are both loved by the nation and very complex, meaning that these beloved songs are rarely played live by other bands.

Our Sax player, Roy Turner toured with the Commitments for many years and is reknown within the industy as one of the finest sax players in the Northwest. James Parkinson on Guitar and Howard Page on Bass both played and toured with the band Total Affect which featured James' brother who has now emigrated.

We know there are lots of wedding and function bands out there but we’re different – and in two ways. Firstly we all sing and have all fronted bands previously. This opens up a much wider range of material to choose from and means we can nail all those tricky harmonies that the other bands simply can’t do. Secondly we are all pro musicians, with the focus on the music and musicianship. It's all about playing the songs that you love as well as is possible.

We're not a tribute band and we certainly don't dress up like the original stars; we're different. To us it's not about the look, it's all about the music. Instead of trying to look as good, we sound just as good. That said, we look pretty good too! Roy is simply irrisistable!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

In May 2025 Electric Moonlight headlined the Bands On The Square festival at Barnoldswick. This is a large festival that takes over the entire town. The stage is set up covering the entire village square. The festival spans three days featuring dozens of talented bands.


What's your favourite type of event?

Private parties and functions. We love the atmosphere and there is less pressure than performing at Weddings. But we love each and every gig for different reasons!!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

James and Howard have performed together in several bands over the past ten years. James is also a solo performer writing and performing his own material using the name One Cure For Man. Howard has performed live and on his albums. Roy Turner has been playing say for fifty years and has toured the UK many times inclusing withThe Commitments. All the band members are seasoned, professional musicians with a passion for music., each starting at a very early age. James and Howard are multi-instrumentalists.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We typivcally require a minimum of 90 minutes to load, setup and soundcheck.
We typically perform two sets of around 50 minutes. This is flexible.
We require forty-five minutes to break down and unload.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes but only if the performance area is covered and waterproof. We prefer to perform indoors and would assess any outdoor requirement thoroughly before accepting.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We know a lot of songs so the client can have say as long as we already know their request. We are willing to learn a specific song for a client, such as a first dance wedding number, but this would incurr additional charges for the time and studio hire required to learn the song and add it to the repertoir.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Energetic, featuring superb musicianship, playing songs people love that most other bands don't or can't play. We never disappoint and try to exceed our client's expectations.


How long do you typically perform for?

We usually perform two sets with an interval, the sets being around fifty minutes each. We are happy to do whatever you require.


Will you learn a specific song for our first dance at our wedding?

Yes, if the song is suitable for our four-piece lineup, but we would charge extra to cover our time and costs involved in learning the song to our pro level. We don't busk! 8-)


Is your sax player famous?

Roy Turner played with The Commitments band for many years, touring the UK anbd beyond. He is a legend in his own lunchtime.
