About this corporate party
The anniversary event was held on a Friday night. As the M6 Motorway is hard to judge on any night of the week let alone a Friday. So we had the forethought to arrive at this North Staffordshire party Stoke-On-Trent venue much earlier than planned. There were approximately 80 guests at the anniversary party (including guests partners) which filled the small function room well. Our function band PA and lighting equipment can be resized to handle any size function room, stage, outdoor or indoor festival. Professional party band ‘Punch The Air‘ can also handle venues with much smaller and much larger numbers of guests too. Place your trust in a band with our many years of experience and hire professional musicians.
Corporate Party Live Band
As with most corporate events, we allowed the clients to use our microphones and PA system to make announcements, speeches and give out awards and gifts. We pride ourselves on being being very easy to get on with and none “Diva” type professional musicians. You can pretty much ask us anything and we’ll help you out with it. We are also great problem solvers if something should happen to go wrong or not run to schedule at your corporate event. We consider ourselves the indie killers of the same old boring bland music with our tremendous mix of Indie Rock & Pop chart music from all decades.
