Booking a Blackheath Coronation Social Club wedding band means having the venue to yourselves for the evening, and that’s exactly how Punch The Air like to work. We’re a three-piece guitar band who’ve been playing weddings, private parties and functions since 2013, and when a couple privately hires the function room at George Avenue for their reception, we treat it like any other wedding booking: your guests, your dance floor, no one else’s night running alongside it. Contact band leader Andy to check on fee and availability.
What to Expect from a Blackheath Coronation Social Club Wedding Band
With the room privately hired for your reception, there’s no shared bar or fixed changeover to work around. We can get set up while the earlier part of your day is still winding down, sort our levels quietly, and be ready to go the moment your guests are ready for live music. We play a set that moves through decades without ever sounding like a jukebox, and because it’s your night alone in the room, we can shape the pace of the evening around you rather than around anyone else’s schedule.
The Band & Musicians Behind Punch The Air
Punch The Air is led by singer and bass player Andy Starkey, and the three of us have built our whole approach around one idea: play the songs people actually want to hear, played properly, without a wall of backing tracks doing the heavy lifting. Guitars are real, the rhythm section is real, and the vocals sit on top of that rather than fighting a laptop. It’s a format that works whether we’re in a converted barn or, as here, a function room booked out exclusively for a wedding.
Your Privately Hired Function Room on George Avenue
Blackheath Coronation Social Club sits on George Avenue in Rowley Regis, and the venue offers a function room, a bar, parking for guests and a garden, which together give you what you need for an evening reception. Once a room like this is hired exclusively for a wedding, it becomes yours for the night, and that’s the way we prefer things: one guest list, one dance floor, and a room that’s set up around your reception rather than shared with anyone else.
Songs We Bring to Rowley Regis Wedding Receptions
Every setlist gets shaped around the crowd on the night, but our core repertoire pulls from guitar bands across the last sixty years. We might slide from The Fratellis into a Van Morrison classic, drop in something by Feeder or Wheatus for the indie disco crowd, then finish with Bryan Adams or The Undertones for the people who want to sing along rather than just dance. You can see the full list of artists and songs we play before you book, so there’s no guesswork involved.

Other Private Hire Events at Blackheath
While wedding receptions bring us to venues like this one most often, a privately hired function room with its own bar is just as well suited to birthdays, wedding anniversaries, retirement parties or a corporate get-together. If you’re planning something at Blackheath Coronation Social Club that isn’t strictly a wedding, we’re just as happy to talk through what would work for your booking.
Sandwell and the Black Country
Rowley Regis sits right in the heart of Sandwell, close to Halesowen, Cradley Heath and Old Hill, and only a short drive from Birmingham and Dudley. We also cover bookings further out towards Wolverhampton and across the wider West Midlands region, as well as into Worcestershire and back up towards our own patch in Staffordshire. As an indie rock party band, distance rarely puts us off, so if your venue isn’t listed here, just ask.
We’ve played similar privately hired functions at Baddesley Ensor Social Club and Burntwood Rugby Club elsewhere in the Midlands.
A Few Questions About Booking
Does the venue need to be privately hired?
Yes. We play private wedding bookings where the function room has been hired exclusively for your reception, not open club nights or shared events.
What other events could the band play at Blackheath Coronation Social Club?
Alongside wedding receptions we regularly play birthdays, anniversaries, corporate get-togethers and other private hire evenings, so it doesn’t need to be a wedding for us to be a good fit.
How do we check availability for a Blackheath Coronation Social Club Wedding Band?
