If you are looking for a Bassmead Manor Barns wedding band with genuine energy and a proper feel for a room full of dancing guests, Punch The Air are used to filling barns just like this one with sound. We are a three piece indie rock covers band led by Andy Starkey, and Staploe is exactly the kind of rural, characterful setting we love turning up to. Contact band leader Andy to check on fee and availability, and we will talk you through how a live band fits into your day at Bassmead.
Why Couples Choose Us as Their Bassmead Manor Barns Wedding Band
A barn wedding needs a band that understands atmosphere as much as it understands songs. Old timber, exposed beams and a room full of people who have known each other for years is a brilliant setting for live music, and it is the sort of night Punch The Air were built for. We are not a covers act churning through a generic setlist. We have been performing together since 2013, and we play indie rock and guitar driven pop with the same conviction as the original artists, so when guests hear a familiar track they get swept up rather than watching politely from the sidelines.
As a wedding band for Bassmead Manor Barns, we bring our own PA and lighting rig sized sensibly for the room, and we handle our own setup and soundcheck so there is nothing for you to organise on the day beyond deciding where you would like us to play. Andy and the rest of the band arrive in good time, work around your caterers and suppliers, and keep the whole evening running smoothly from the first song to the last.
The Sound of a professional Wedding Band Set
Our set draws on indie rock tracks from The Killers, Kings Of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs and Stereophonics, alongside chart pop favourites from The Beatles, Amy Winehouse and George Ezra. You can see and hear us in full flow below.
What a Punch The Air Wedding Reception Band Booking Includes
Every booking is built around your evening, not a fixed formula. We work with couples to shape a set that suits the crowd, whether that is packed indie floor fillers all night or a broader mix that pulls in parents, children and grandparents too. Our full indie rock covers band repertoire gives a proper flavour of what we play, and it is worth a browse before you get in touch so you have an idea of the kind of night we put together.

Weekends at popular Cambridgeshire barn venues get booked up well in advance, so if Bassmead has caught your eye it is worth reaching out to Andy early to lock in your date.

About Bassmead Manor Barns, Staploe
Bassmead Manor Barns sits within the moat of an old manor house in the small hamlet of Staploe, just outside St Neots. The venue centres around the Rickety Barn, a 300 year old timber barn with oak beams and wrought iron chandeliers used for ceremonies, while the Moat Barn hosts reception drinks and the light filled Bridge Barn is where the wedding breakfast and evening celebrations take place. The setting is rural and quiet, with landscaped gardens and a genuinely characterful feel that has made it a popular choice for couples across the region.
