Pavilion At Oscars Estate Wedding Band: Live Indie Rock For Your Wedding Party
Our approach to a wedding is simple. Your wedding party should feel like the best night out your friends and family have had in years, not background music at a function. Andy sings and plays bass, and between the three of us we deliver guitar-driven indie rock and pop with plenty of noise, plenty of smiles and very little standing around. We want the dance floor to fill early and stay full.
You do not need to be an indie fan to enjoy it either. We mix in pop and well-loved classics, so a nan, a best man and a crowd of old university friends can all end up singing the same chorus. Here is a taste of us playing live.
Indie Anthems, Pop Hits And Classics For Every Generation
Our indie covers band repertoire stretches from the 1950s right up to the present day, so every age group at your wedding reception gets a moment. On the indie side you might hear Parklife by Blur, Disco 2000 by Pulp, Friday I’m In Love by The Cure, Rocks by Primal Scream or Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis. For the pop end of the night there is Shut Up And Dance by Walk The Moon and Don’t You Want Me by The Human League, while the older generation can join in with Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison, Can’t Buy Me Love by The Beatles and Hound Dog by Elvis Presley. Have a look through the full list and pick out the songs you cannot do without.
Timings That Work Around Your Wedding Reception
From experience, one long performance works best once the cake has been cut and the buffet has been cleared away. Nobody is queuing for food, nobody is being pulled in different directions, and you get the best of the band at the moment your guests are ready to let loose. That said if you’d rather we performed two sets instead then this really isn’t an issue for us. It’s your wedding so you should have it your way.
Music Earlier In The Day
If you would like live music during the ceremony, or while the prosecco is flowing before the wedding breakfast, Andy also offers a solo acoustic performance earlier on in the day especially for this. It keeps the drinks reception relaxed, and then the full band takes over when the dancing begins.
