Derbyshire Wedding Band

Check out our experiences in video Vlog form ‘Punch The Air‘ a Derbyshire Wedding Band for Rachel & Steves wedding at Lower Damgate Farm, Ilam, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 2AD. We had an absolutely brilliant time as did the bride and groom and all the guests with us performing indie rock wedding band classics and all their favourite party tunes. Everything in this video is 100% live. All the audio was recorded at the actual wedding and is exactly how it was performed live on the day. Is this the kind of wedding you’re looking for as well? Surely it is right? As you will see this south Peak District National Park wedding venue has a “Sound Limiter”. So because of this we brought along our state of the art electronic drum kit to adhere to the volume restrictions. Contact bass player/Vlogger Andy Starkey to book a Derbys wedding band for your Derbyshire wedding venue party.

Live Music

Believe Punch The Air when we say there is nothing better than live music at a wedding reception, birthday party, function or corporate event. It’s all very well just hiring a DJ for the whole event as they CAN sometimes be great. And it is a cheap option too. But generally there’s no real UMPH is there when a DJ just plays some music off their laptop. What would be better than having all your favourite songs performed live by a professional live band?

Imagine being at a concert where you get to feel and hear:

  • The Showmanship
  • The Raw sound
  • The Talent
  • The High energy performances.

This is something you and all your guests will remember at your special event for the rest of your lives. Contact live music specialists Punch The Air as soon as possible to check on price and availability.
