Birthday Party Live Band – Vlog 001

Andy from birthday party live band ‘Punch The Air‘ takes you on a journey of what a professional band get up to preparing for, traveling to, setting up at and performing at a birthday party at Bashall Barn, Clitheroe. Let’s get our indie rock party band tunes on shall we. Contact band leader (and lead singer) Andy Starkey from our top rated party band to check on availability and price to hire a birthday party live band.

You’ll see the sights, the sounds (and unfortunately the smells) as we travel up North to Lancashire. Having to eat and drink on the road to make up time from getting stuck in traffic jams on the motorway. Then watch a time-lapse of us setting our gear up in this live band venue. Listen to how we make the room sound fantastic during soundcheck. Also check out the high end equipment we use. See what we get up to once we’ve set our gear up. Then watch us performing live indie rock party songs ‘Parklife’ by Blur, Sex On Fire by Kings Of Leon, Don’t Stop Me by Queen. Watch to the end of the live entertainment video and you’ll see our client Tim. He was incredibly happy with our performance. So he left us a glowing review on social media.

If only all professional bands bothered to take the time to show clients exactly what happens in this manner eh?

Acoustic Wedding Singer Vlog

Andy Starkey is an acoustic wedding singer based in Lichfield, Staffordshire. Andrew is always trying to provide potential clients with something different and a bit more interesting than just live videos to show he’s more than just another professional musician with a guitar. Discover more about Andy Starkey and book an acoustic wedding singer.

Acoustic Wedding Singer Videos

In this Vlog watch Andy as he prepares for a performance outdoors on a sunny August in Edgbaston, Birmingham. It’ not just a case picking up an acoustic wedding singer guitar, putting it in a case. Then throwing it in the boot of your car. If you want clients to be able to hear you loud enough over their own volume you’ll need an amplifier, power supply, mixing desk, microphone and various leads. Also a bit of stage lighting will help set the mood better as well won’t it. This is also the same for wedding entertainment and when you hire a wedding band.

With Birmingham being over an hour away there’s no chance of being able to drive back home again in case anything has been forgotten. Acoustic Wedding Singer Andy has a strict routine and packing list he follows for every performance whether its solo acoustic or with his full band ‘Punch The Air‘. Andy will always have the correct equipment necessary including spares in case anything should break so the show can always go on. Wedding singer Andy leaves his house in Staffs, travelling through Weeford, Bassets Pole, past Moxhull Hall, The Belfry Hotel & Resort Sutton Coldfield, through Minworth, Erdington, Aston until eventually reaching his Bham destination.

As you will see in the above acoustic wedding singer video vlog its a nice busy beer & gin festival with lots on tap and in bottles. Watch as Andy gets guests up dancing and singing along with him. He wants wants you to enjoy yourself as much as he is enjoying himself.
