Looking for a Chillington Hall wedding band that can fill a Georgian saloon with energy rather than just background noise? Punch The Air is a three-piece indie rock covers band from Staffordshire and we spend our weekends playing wedding receptions and parties in country houses and function rooms across Staffordshire. Chillington Hall’s grand interiors and gardens make for one of the more memorable settings we get to play, and we tailor our set to suit the room, whether that’s the Grand Saloon or a marquee on the lawn. Contact band leader Andy to check on fee and availability.
What a Chillington Hall Wedding Band Actually Sounds Like
We’re not a covers band that plays it safe. Punch The Air is built around real guitars, live bass and a proper drum kit, and we perform songs the way the original bands intended them to be heard rather than watered down for a wedding disco. Andy fronts the band on vocals and bass, and the three of us have been playing together since 2013, which means the sound is tight without being overly polished. For a Chillington Hall wedding band booking, that usually means an evening set once the wedding breakfast has finished and the buffet and cake cutting have occurred so everyone is ready for something with a bit of volume.
Songs You Might Hear From Your Chillington Hall Wedding Band
Our full repertoire and song list covers several decades of indie and rock, and we rotate the setlist depending on the crowd. A typical night might take in Stereophonics, The Fratellis, Feeder and Kaiser Chiefs alongside a couple of older classics such as Bryan Adams, The Beatles, George Ezra, giving guests of different ages something to sing along to. We’re happy to talk through song choices with you before the day so the set fits the mood you’re after.
Here’s a short clip of the band in action, which should give you a decent sense of the sound and energy we bring to a wedding reception:
About Chillington Hall
Chillington Hall is a Grade I listed Georgian house near Brewood that has been home to the Giffard family for centuries. The current house dates largely from 1724, with later remodelling in the 1780s, and sits within parkland that was landscaped in the eighteenth century, complete with a lake and long avenue of trees. For weddings, couples typically have exclusive use of the house, including the Front Hall, Drawing Room, Marble Hall and the Grand Saloon, a striking domed room that can seat up to around 130 guests for a ceremony or blessing. The gardens provide a natural backdrop for photographs whatever the season, and the setting works equally well for smaller, more intimate wedding breakfasts as it does for a full evening reception.
Weddings and Private Events Near Brewood and Wolverhampton
Chillington Hall sits on the Staffordshire and Shropshire border, only a few miles from Wolverhampton and close to the village of Brewood itself, so it’s an easy venue for guests travelling from across the wider West Midlands to reach. We regularly play weddings and functions throughout Staffordshire and into Shropshire, so we know the area well and are used to loading in at country house venues where access and setup times need a bit of planning. As an indie rock party band, we also play plenty of events outside of weddings, including corporate functions, birthday parties, anniversaries and private celebrations, so if you’re organising something other than a wedding reception at Chillington Hall we’d still love to hear from you.
Booking a Chillington Hall Wedding Band

We’re used to working around venue curfews and sound requirements at listed buildings, and we’ll always liaise with the venue in advance to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day.
