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.

About ‘Punch The Air’ band.

But also cover a wide variety of genres and decades at many different types of events and bookings. We also perform in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Birmingham, Shropshire, West Midlands and all the rest of the UK too.

Included in our groups show are:

Two live performances or one long performance if you prefer.

Hard Copy Contract.

What another musicians think is good promo isn’t good promo.

There are too many bands out there who simply don’t care about providing their clients with quality video and photos . Should you really be considering paying thousands of pounds for a party band whose promotional video was shot on a friends phone, all shaky, with murky quality and awful distorted audio? Photos that are blurred and out of focus again taken with camera phones? We certainly think not. This is all because its too much effort for these bands (Who always state they are “Professionals”, “The UK’s Premier this and that” yet have nothing to back up these credentials) to spend the extra time creating something of higher quality instead.

How other bands pull the wool over your eyes.

The other type of promotional video currently doing the rounds are completely over the top “Mimed to” videos. The likes of which audio and performances are completely impossible to pull of live. What you are seeing and hearing with 99% of other bands out there is studio recorded audio. Recorded then re-recorded until it is 100% correct. Then extra guitar parts will be recorded over the top and even keyboards and string sections in some cases. Ask yourself when you watch these videos “How can I hear a second guitar (keyboard/strings etc) in a three piece band”? The answer is that you shouldn’t be able to.

The band then shoot a studio video with fast moving video camera angles. You won’t see an audience member in sight anywhere. Usually these types of videos are paid for by the agencies who have exclusive rights to the band you’re watching. In tern you are paying for this video to have been produced yourself on the 20-40% markup agency fee.

What Punch The Air band know is quality promotional material that you will want to see.

Our band is completely different. We’ve come up with something that highlights our performance skills and then at the same time showcases our passion. Consequently we provide you with “Better” promotional videos than any other band out there.

Our band provides you with:

Real live audio taken directly from our digital desk.
Live video footage shot on high end professional cameras.
Multiple camera angle videos.
No over dubs on audio.
Real life client, guests and audience reactions to our performances

What you see in our live videos is what we get up to on a very regular basis. High end quality video footage can’t be faked. Therefore it’s the honest truth. It’s us being exactly as we are live. So trust in a band that works this hard to prove to you what they’re capable of.

Derbyshire Charity Band

Live music by ‘Punch The Air‘ performed as a Derbyshire Charity Band at Hargate Hall, Derbys for a charitable event for JDRF Type 1 diabetes.

Our professional band formed in 2013 can help you raise lots of money for your charity event too. Contact band leader Andy Starkey to book a Derbyshire charity band.

Derbyshire Charity Band about the event.

A large marquee was erected on the Buxton grounds at the front of the hall. There were food and drink stalls with local breweries and a gin horse box.

Throughout the day they had various other bands performing jazz, funk and soul and then ‘Punch The Air‘ wrapped the evening up with an Indie, Rock & Pop performance. There was a huge mix of ages there from babies to kids to teens, to adults and pensioners. As you’ll see from our images everyone from young to old had an amazing time.

Derbys charity band ‘Punch The Air‘ experienced a beautiful drive through Ashbourne, the Derbyshire Dales and into The Peak District. We arrived at about 6:30pm and unloaded into the marquee nearby to the stage area. This was in preparation for setting the stage up once the band before had finished performing. We were finally set up and ready to go at about 8:30pm. Then we crashed into our live set starting with Teenage Kicks by The Undertones. Straight away everyone crammed themselves into the tent and then stayed there dancing away the entire night. We performed songs by One Direction, Rick Astley, The Monkees, Indie Rock cover band tunes by Oasis, The Fratellis, Coldplay, The Killers as well as numbers from the 50s all the way through to modern day.

Rather than take a break half way through our function band decided perform a full 90 minute set in one go as we (And the crowd) didn’t want the night to end. At one point Andy invited a couple of young ladies up on stage to join us for ‘I Love Rock & Roll’ by Joan Jett and they put on a great fun performance themselves too.

Gallery of photos from Derbys Charity Festival

The Buxton venue also took advantage of our additional chargeable services and booked our evening photographer for the charity event. Claire captured these amazing photos showcasing the entire audiences reactions to ‘Punch The Air‘s outstanding live performances.
