Photo of Ginger & Tonic Ginger & Tonic "The last show we saw was Gold Dust Woman, but I have been to almost all the shows and they keep getting better. Beautiful Charlotte and the talented band are such a great secret. Don't tell all the tourists! Alexa and I love squeezing into the Blue Door, it feels like a French cabaret, only funnier!! I always have a good buzzy earworm stuck in my head for days. Keep up the good work G&T xx 11 out of 10!!"

Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,205 miles from Queenstown) Chad - 50th Birthday Photo of Unbelievable Wedding Big Band/Orchestra Unbelievable Wedding Big Band/Orchestra "I have been meaning to message you directly also to thank you. What you produced the night of our wedding was nothing short of magical - and I do not say this lightly. I am very happy to hear the band enjoyed the evening - I think their enjoyment and energy showed through their music. The feedback we have had from guests is overwhelming, particularly that the band and the singer (I don't remember his name) was the best they have ever heard at a wedding. You guys nailed the performance. I am so happy that we decided to do a live version, you could not have gotten the same energy and vibe with just a recording / original version. Your two sets were also perfect. There were a few times that we all stopped in the marquee to listen and appreciate the music, particularly My Way - I remember looking around and quite a few people were singing along! I think another sign of a success of a wedding is the number of people on the dance floor, and there was not an empty space during the second set. The amount of people of all ages dancing was a true highlight for me as we wanted this to be a wedding that everyone would enjoy - not just us."

The blues bands for hire cover a wide range of blues styles including Chicago blues, Delta blues, blues rock, soul blues and modern electric blues. Many bands also incorporate elements of rock, funk and soul into their sets. It is worth listening to audio samples on each band's profile to find the right style for your event.

Events that commonly feature blues bands include pub and bar events, private parties, weddings, corporate functions, festivals and club nights. Blues music creates a soulful, energetic atmosphere and works well for events where guests want to listen, dance or both.

A typical booking for blues bands covers two to three hours, usually split into sets with breaks. Blues performances often feature extended improvisations and guest solos, so set lengths can vary depending on the style and line-up of the band. It is advisable to discuss the preferred format when making an enquiry.

Most blues bands are self-contained and provide their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be required. It is a good idea to confirm equipment details with the band before booking.
