Full List Of Solo Acoustic Party Musician Videos

“If I Needed Someone” by The Beatles filmed in and around Liverpool.

Andrew Starkey is a massive Beatles fan and so decided to cover this George Harrison track from Rubber Soul. He then took it one step further, drove up to Liverpool and spent the day filming this video in and around famous Beatles Merseyside spots and Beatles home addresses. This is the sort of effort you should expect from your hired musician surely? 


The Cavern Club, Liverpool appearance.

Yes, you read that right, The Cavern Club Liverpool. Andy has even performed live at the most prestigious venue in the whole of the UK (If not know as the most famous venue in the world). This was a dream come true for him as I’m sure you can image.


Acoustic Solo Wedding Musician Lisa & Jays Wedding Reception.

Theme Tune Thursday ‘Baywatch Theme’

Andy is one of those musicians that is always up for trying something different which is why he started his ‘Theme Tune Thursdays’ set of videos. Here he is performing the Theme to Baywatch “I’m Always Here” originally sung by Jimi Jamison from ‘Eye Of The Tiger’ Rocky theme fame band Survivor. This song was a request at a wedding that Andy had never thought to cover before and learned it the following week. 


Theme Tune Thursday ‘Rastamouse’ from Andy Starkey Acoustic Solo Wedding Musician

Andy’s favourite kids theme tune of recent was ‘Rastamouse’ so he worked it out and performed it live in the below video.


Theme Tune Thursday ‘Button Moon’

A request from a fan, this sad little tune was recorded on a scorching hot Summers day.


Theme Tune Thursday – ‘Son’s & Daughters’ Acoustic Solo Wedding Musician

Another scorching hot Summer’s day in Staffordshire and another theme tune. This time its Australian TV series ‘Sons and Daughters’ which ran from 1982 to 1987. Written by Peter Pinne & Don Battye and originally performed by Mick Leyton and Kerrie Biddell. This is the version that some people say is in 3/4 timing, but Andy believes it’s actually in 6/8 timing.

Amy Winehouse Valerie Live Cover Version Video

Indie Rock wedding band ‘Punch The Air’ Amy Winehouse Valerie live cover version video shows exactly what happened all night long at this brilliant festival party held by Garry & Sam. We all had an amazing time at this Worcs party band. Sometimes all it takes is a short clip of a single moment, of a single song to sum up what an entire night was like. This clip is raw straight out of the camera one single camera angle. There’s no trickery afterwards to make anything sound better, we really do sound this good live. The original of this song was produced by Mark Ronson. Ronson’s second studio album Version featured cover versions of many great songs by artists such as Lily Allen, Daniel Merriweather & Robbie Williams.

Wedding Reception Time Lapse
Wedding Reception Time Lapse

Wedding Reception Time-Lapse video

Andy Starkey from Staffordshire indie rock wedding band ‘Punch The Air’ is crazy mad into videography. He loves to try out new ideas that no other live wedding entertainment band has thought of before. Sometimes he’ll be watching a TV show or film and think to himself “How did they achieve this effect?” and then attempt to recreate it when you hire an indie rock wedding band. The audio featured in this video is our wedding cover band studio recording (Its not live for a change) of ‘I Love Rock & Roll’ by Joan Jett. Don’t you think it looks completely different?

 

 

Andy is one of the hardest working wedding musicians in the industry. Most other bands just chill out before and in-between live wedding performances. Not Andy, he’s running around, setting up video cameras, more microphones and lighting. He has a massive array of cameras and lenses.  Therefore his is able to capture the wedding reception band and guests in all it full glory. Rebecca & Matts Wedding Reception Time-Lapse video was recorded over two entire sets. It then took Andy a further 5 hours to edit the wedding video into what you see above. Make sure you watch it from start to finish to appreciate the hard effort in all its glory.

In non timelapse  mode here is a full live video of what hiring a professional wedding band can do to your big day.

 

Wedding Guests Go Crazy

When you’ve been around as long as Indie Rock cover band Punch The Air have (since 2013, so over a decade) you think you’ve seen it all, then wedding guests go crazy and do something new. Just like the below wedding band video of what happened at a recent indie wedding….Suddenly you’re glad you spent time setting up video cameras to capture it for all the world to see. Indie wedding band ‘Punch The Air‘ smash to smithereens what you once thought a wedding band was supposed to be. At your wedding party band everyone will be going absolutely crazy for our blend of indie rock covers and chart pop music from the last 60 years. You want to hear Blur, The Killers, Coldplay, Kings Of Leon, Kaiser Chiefs, The Fratellis and more indie rock cover band songs.

Wedding Guests Go Crazy
Wedding Guests Go Crazy

You’re family and friends will want to hear Elvis Presley, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Chesney Hawkes, The Monkees, The Beatles, Amy Winehouse. Contact bass player Andy Starkey from indie cover band ‘Punch The Air‘ to check on price and availability for your indie rock wedding band. Find out more about what we can bring as your wedding band on your special day. Book live entertainment for a wedding.

When Wedding Guests Go Crazy

What occurred here was a wedding guest was happily dancing along to indie wedding band ‘Punch The Air‘. He then pulled up a chair and his friends pushed him around the dance-floor for a while. All reasonably fine so far right? For whatever reason then (Lets presume he’d had a lot of alcohol to drink) he decided to stand up on the chair on the dance-floor. His friends then decided it would be really funny to push him off his chair. Luckily the wedding guest wasn’t injured and continued to party along to our live wedding entertainment band. Book a Lichfield wedding band.

 

 

So what specific song makes wedding guests go crazy like this? Apparently it’s Tubthumping by Chumbawama. “I get knocked down, but I get up again” how apt eh….So either do or don’t request this song at your peril at your wedding venue and see what happens. You have been warned 🙂 Book a Wedding Reception Band for your wedding venue.

Both videos on this page were filmed at Norbury Village Hall, Norbury, Bishops Castle, Shropshire, SY9 5DX. Below you will see our live wedding function band promo video of many songs from this wedding venue.

Salford Evesham Wedding Band – What The DJ Saw

Tim and Lucy had wedding party band Punch The Air perform as their Karma Salford Hall Evesham wedding band and what an amazing time everyone had. We performed huge Indie rock wedding band numbers and a great selection of music from current day right back to the 1950’s so everyone was catered for. If this sounds like the kind of thing you want at your Evesham wedding reception then contact band leader Andy Starkey Karma wedding reception band ‘Punch The Air‘ to check on our price and availability. We’d love to play a part in your special day either big or small.

Karma Salford Evesham Wedding Band

Karma Salford Hall was built in the 14th century as a living space for monks from the nearby Evesham Abbey. Of course it has since been converted into a wonderful hotel for weddings, corporate events, live music events and much more. It features thirty six traditional style bedrooms, a coach house, feature period paneling and chandeliers and even 4-poster beds. This is a fantastic wedding venue due it being in Wychavon near to the localities of Worcester, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Cheltenham and Gloucester. Emily Louise and the rest of the team there couldn’t be nicer, they even made us a cup of tea upon arrival, this was a great start to the night for our live wedding band.

How clients trust us to handle their live entertainment

As with most other wedding clients Lucy & Tim had found us online, we’d never met them personally before, nor had we performed at the Worcs wedding venue previously. Most of our clients decide to book us based on the high quality of live video footage we constantly produce. Otherwise it’s via a recommendation from someone whose seen us as a wedding party band before.  You can see more of Karma Salford Hall wedding band party band videos before you hire a wedding band in Evesham to make the right decision.

Lucy & Tim had seen our indie rock wedding band videos online and just knew straight away we were the band to handle live entertainment at their wedding. With about 80 evening guests to entertain and quite a smallish area to set up in (Encroaching slightly onto the dance-floor unfortunately due to it being set back too far) our wedding cover band still knew we could give Lucy, Tim, all their family and friends a night they would never forget. They loved our high energy wedding entertainment and so will you.  We performed massive danceable tracks from Queen, The Killers, Coldplay, Bryan Adams, George Ezra, Oasis, Amy Winehouse, Blink 182, The Beatles and more

DJ Services

At Karma Salford Hall Hotel you get DJ services included in your wedding package (Otherwise its no problem for ‘Punch The Air‘ to handle this aspect at any wedding too) and resident disc jockey DJ Rob Bates from R&D Entertainments was on hand. DJ Rob is the type of professional who really knows his stuff. He actually cares about what he’s playing, tailoring the music around what the crowd want to hear.

What The DJ Saw.

DJ Rob is such a lovely guy that off his own back he shot some video footage on his phone. Subsequently he then very kindly sent them over to Andy who created this “What The DJ Saw” video from it. As you will see Lucy & Tim had an amazing time with ‘Punch The Air‘ performing live for them. The bride, groom and all their guests danced and sung their hearts out all night long as you can see below. We had lots of very flattering comments from guests on the night, some of which had come from as far away as Manchester and Bedfordshire.

Are you considering a Salford Evesham Wedding Band?

If so then you should check out the seven, yes SEVEN reviews we had from this one wedding there alone. That’s not just from the bride, groom, family members….Reviews also came in from the venue itself and the DJ. Our wedding function band definitely left a great mark and can’t wait to return back there again soon. If you want to enquire on our price and availability for your wedding then please contact ‘Punch The Air’. With over a decade together we know exactly how to make your wedding rock.

Shropshire Function Band what we got up to

Watch as we get all Salop competitive with traditional style funfair games, there’s drone footage and we chat with other exhibitors. We eat some some Shropshire wedding cake supplier samples. Then we check out Shrops wedding dresses, there are guitar solo’s and we get a bit dizzy. We visit a Shropshire wedding photographer photo booth for hire to have our photos taken and eat some Indian street food. In total we took three Shrops wedding venue bookings from this wedding fair so it was a very successful (And tiring) days work for indie rock cover band Punch The Air. If you’re looking at another band instead of us have they gone to this extent to prove to you why you should book them?
