THE QUEEN BEES – All-Female Strolling Band

Elegant harmonies, infectious energy and a touch of feminine flair.

The Queen Bees are an all-female band from the French Riviera, bringing a fresh and distinctive touch to live entertainment.

Blending pop, soul, swing and rock, they reinvent timeless classics and modern hits, from Beyoncé and Amy Winehouse to The Beach Boys and Etta James.

Their signature? Talented singer-instrumentalists combining their voices to create rich, captivating vocal harmonies, alongside vibrant instrumental performances.

Specialising in roaming performances, they move among guests, creating spontaneous musical moments and an engaging atmosphere. They also offer fixed, amplified performances, adapting to every venue and occasion.

Available in two line-ups:

  • Quartet: 4 singer-instrumentalists

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

As a mobile and half-acoustic live band, we do not require any equipment or sound check up to approximately 200 guest.

For fixed amplified performances or fully amplified roaming performances, please contact us so we can provide our technical rider.


What information do you require about a venue?

At the initial enquiry stage, the venue location is all we need. We can discuss any practical or technical details closer to the event.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We do not supply sound and lighting equipment ourselves. However, we work with professional production companies and can put you in touch with trusted partners for sound, lighting and DJ services.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Through our professional partners, we can arrange background music during cocktail hour and dinner, as well as a DJ service to keep the party going after our performance.

Sound systems, microphones and lighting can also be arranged depending on the event location and requirements. Please contact us for a tailored proposal.


What do we need at the venue ?

Very little! For our roaming performances, we bring our own portable equipment and do not need access to a power supply.

A hot meal for the musicians is always appreciated, especially on long event days.

During the warmer months, especially in periods of intense heat, a shaded area for the musicians and their instruments is essential. We also kindly ask for drinking water to be available throughout the performance.

We would also be delighted to receive a few photos or videos from the event afterwards, if available.


Do we need to do a sound check?

For strolling performances, a traditional sound check is generally not necessary.

For fixed or fully amplified performances, setup and sound-check requirements will depend on the venue and technical configuration.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Our performance formats can be adapted to the event schedule and atmosphere.

We can divide the performance into several shorter sets, allowing the music to accompany different moments of the event, from the cocktail reception to dinner and the party.

Additional sets, extended playing time and fixed amplified performances can also be arranged upon request.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely! We regularly perform outdoors and are happy to bring our music to gardens, terraces, courtyards and other open-air venues.

Weather conditions and suitable shelter should, of course, be taken into consideration.


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

Of course! You are welcome to choose your favourite songs from our repertoire, as well as let us know if there are any songs you would prefer us to avoid.

If there is a particular song you would love to hear that is not yet in our setlist, you can also ask us to prepare it. Depending on the song's complexity and the preparation required, an additional fee may apply.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Our performances are designed to create a warm, joyful and lively atmosphere, bringing guests together through music.

Moving among the tables and interacting with the audience, we adapt our performance to the energy of the room, encouraging guests to sing along, dance and share spontaneous musical moments.

Our vocal harmonies, instrumental arrangements and varied repertoire are also an important part of what makes The Queen Bees distinctive.


What is a roaming band?

A roaming band, also known as a strolling band, is a group of musicians who perform while moving freely among the guests rather than staying on a fixed stage.

The musicians interact directly with the audience, moving between tables and groups to create spontaneous, personal and engaging musical moments.

It is an immersive style of live entertainment that brings the music right to the guests.


What type of music do we play?

Our repertoire brings together a wide range of styles, including pop, soul, swing and rock, from timeless classics to more recent hits.

We enjoy reworking familiar songs in our own style, with rich vocal harmonies and distinctive instrumental arrangements.

You are welcome to select songs from our repertoire, but we also adapt our musical choices to the audience and the atmosphere of the event.


What is the volume of a roaming band?

A strolling performance is designed to bring music close to the guests rather than fill the entire venue with the volume of a traditional stage setup.

We use portable amplification to ensure that the music can be heard clearly while keeping the sound at a comfortable level for guests nearby.

The volume and impact are different from a DJ or a fully amplified live band, as the emphasis is on interaction, proximity and creating a lively atmosphere throughout the venue.
