Beer Festival Band

Indie rock cover band ‘Punch The Air‘ are also available to hire as a Beer Festival Band. We have performed at many ale festivals over the years also including as a Lichfield band at Guildhall Winter Ale Festival. It was our second appearance at this wonderful Staffordshire venue for their bi-yearly ale festival band. Punch The Air performed at the Guildhall for Lichfield Arts many years ago back in 2013 when we first formed our professional covers band. We’ve been asked many times since to return since. But unfortunately our busy schedule performing as a private party band and wedding band has always clashed with this fantastic festivals dates. Recently though the stars had aligned correctly and the time had come for our function band to return once again. Contact professional musician Andy Starkey to hire a band for a beer festival.

Charity Event Band

Here we are Indie Rock party band ‘Punch The Air‘ performing for St Giles Hospice charity event band at Baddesley Ensor Social Club, Atherstone, Warwickshire. We helped to raise over £3000 from ticket fees alone with our live entertainment. As a professional band with professional musicians we have also worked along side Water Aid, Teenage Cancer Trust and more. It’s time to hire a charity event band now by contacting band leader Andy Starkey from Punch The Air.

Why use a charity event band for your fundraiser?

A live band is a fantastic way to help you raise money for your good cause. When you charge a reasonable amount for a ticket it gives guests a reason to feel that your event is actually worth something and so is actually worth attending. ‘Punch The Air‘ are a top rated party band enjoyed by all who can get everyone up dancing all night long. 

 

If you charge a low ticket fee or even say its “Free entry” there is more chance of guests deciding on the night that they simply can’t be bothered to turn up after all due to poor excuses like:

  • The slightly drizzling weather outside
  • Forgetting to book a babysitter
  • Feeling ever-so-ever-so slightly unwell etc.

So charge for tickets and give guests a good reason to get dressed up and get excited about your event over the upcoming weeks and months. After all they have spent good money on that ticket and will intend to use it.

 

More guests at your charity event band mean more ways to raise even more money for your charitable cause. You’ll see more tickets sold for raffles and auctions, more guests playing interval games like “Roll A Pound”, “Heads & Tails” Table Quiz” and more.

 

 

 

Live images of our Charity Event Band

As you’ll see from the below images everyone had a great time with us performing live music for their charity at this North Warwickshire wedding venue. We made sure from start to finish that the whole event went off swimmingly smooth. 

 

 

 

 

 

Guests loved our selection of classic indie rock covers and hits from the present day back to the 1950’s. There’s something for everyone with hits from Oasis, George Ezra, Kings Of Leon, Chesney Hawkes, Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, The Killers, Queen and more from our repertoire.

Here’s a glowing review from event organiser Sarah Chetwynd.

Everyone enjoys this brilliant pop tune, all ages old to young as you will see in the George Ezra cover song live video below.

Did you know that this song is actually about the country (and continent) Australia (Homegrown alligator…South of the equator…Bikini bottoms, lager tops). It makes sense, it must be about Australia right? Singalong with us now “I’ll be riding shotgun, underneath the hot sun, feeling like a someone”. What a tune right?

 

We also use to perform the hit single Budapest by George Ezra (Nothing to do with the city in Hungary apparently) too from the massively successful Did ‘You Hear The Rain?’ album.
