Searching for a Davenport House wedding band for your big day in Worfield? Punch The Air are a three-piece, guitar-driven indie rock band who play wedding receptions across Shropshire and the wider Midlands, and a Grade I listed Georgian country house is exactly the sort of setting where a live band earns its keep. Davenport House sits at Worfield, Bridgnorth, Shropshire, WV15 5LE, and we would love to be the reason your guests are still dancing at the end of the night. Contact band leader Andy to check on fee and availability.
A Davenport House wedding band for the dance floor
We are an indie rock wedding band, which means guitars, proper choruses and songs your guests can sing back at us. There are three of us on stage, Andy sings and plays bass, and we have been doing this since 2013. We play the tunes people actually request at a wedding party, from indie anthems to a few old favourites that get Grandad and the teenage cousins up together.
If you are the bride and groom picturing a room full of people with their arms in the air, that is what we aim for from the first song. We keep the pace up, we read the room, and we do not disappear for long breaks once the dancing has started.
Songs your wedding guests already know
Every couple wants something slightly different, so have a look through our full indie covers band repertoire to see what suits your crowd. A few that regularly land well at a wedding reception are Dakota by Stereophonics, I Predict A Riot by Kaiser Chiefs and Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus.
We also play Rocks by Primal Scream, Day We Caught The Train by Ocean Colour Scene, There She Goes by The La’s and Disco 2000 by Pulp, plus Ever Fallen In Love by Buzzcocks and Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison for the moments when everyone wants a singalong. Feeder, Reef, Blur and Green Day are in there too, so the indie crowd and the pop crowd are both looked after.
Your wedding party, your running order
Our experience is that one long set works best, played once the cake cutting, speeches and buffet are all finished. There are no distractions, nobody is still queuing for food, and you get the very best of the band while the room is at its liveliest. That said, if you would rather we performed two sets instead then this really isn’t an issue for us. It’s your wedding so you should always have it your way.
A word for the bride and groom
Tell us the songs you love and the ones you would rather never hear again. We will happily build the evening around that, and if you have a favourite you are not sure we play, just get in touch and ask.
Acoustic music earlier in the day
If you would like live music during the ceremony or when the prosecco starts flowing before the wedding breakfast, Andy also offers a solo acoustic performance earlier on in the day especially for this. You can read more on the solo acoustic musician page, and then the full band takes over for the evening.
