Start The Party is a professional live duo delivering a high-energy mix of classic hits from the '70s, '80s, '90s and beyond.
Featuring powerful male and female lead vocals, tight harmonies, live electric guitar and high-quality MIDI arrangements using real instrument sounds, we provide the full-band experience without backing tracks. Every performance is enhanced by a synchronised DMX lighting show, creating a polished, engaging atmosphere for any venue.
Our repertoire is tailored to suit each audience, whether it's a lively pub, club, hotel, private function or special event. From dancefloor favourites to singalong classics and modern hits, we know how to read the room and keep the music flowing.
Professional, reliable and fully self-contained, Start The Party is committed to delivering an entertaining, memorable night for both venues and audiences alike.

We require a minimum stage area of at least 6 metres x 4 metres, a min of two 13 amp power sockets and a single parking space. We also require secure changing room facilities.
We just require the venue postcode and and required adjustments to our sat navigation. Advice regarding loading and unloading equipment is helpful. Are we able to use our fog machine?
Yes, PA provided to suit the size of the venue (please advise how big the room is) and a small lighting rig
We are happy to provide background music of our own choosing before and in between sets.
No, our backing consists of a sound module (which is basically multiple instruments in one box) controlled by a laptop computer using sequencing software (Cakewalk) and additional vocal effects are add via dedicated digital effects units. There are no pre-recorded audio tracks in our performances.
Again, we have done so many that it's difficult to choose one, but theatres and dedicated live music venues are our favourite type of gig.
Theatre shows and corporate events. The audience are there purely for the music and entertainment, there are no other distractions.
We started gigging as a duo in the early '90s, and at that time we played throughout Germany entertaining the British forces that were stationed there at that time. We have performed hundreds of gigs at weddings, corporate events, live music venues, hotels, social clubs and outdoor events.
We have been in the business for so long that it's impossible to name a single main favourite artist or influence. However our favourite genre has to be the 1980s.
We normally arrive an hour and a half before performance, and set times are usually 1 x 60 minute, 2 x 45 minute or 3 x 30 minute sets, but we're happy to discuss any special requirements.
Yes, providing that the stage area is suitably covered and fully weatherproof. We need a flat, level area and a safe power supply close to the stage area.
We have a set repertoire of songs which enables us to provide a professional presentation night after night.
