Showband Hire London
Pure Showband is a London show band for corporate events, awards ceremonies, gala dinners and weddings. We work with you to plan the music around your event, from the moments that need a cue to the point when you want everyone on the dance floor. Tell us what you’re celebrating, where it’s happening and what sort of atmosphere you want to create.
Choose your lineup
Our live lineups range from 4 to 10 musicians. A smaller band can suit an intimate reception or a venue with limited stage space. A larger lineup gives you a fuller sound and can include saxophone and trumpet. We’ll talk through the room, the schedule and the music you love before suggesting a lineup. We can also discuss DJ Live if you’d like to combine a DJ with live vocals or instruments.
Corporate events, awards and galas
We can plan music for award walk-ups and build the live sets around speeches, dinner and the after-party. If you’re working with a producer or venue team, we can discuss cue timings, sound and lighting requirements with them. Our clients include British Airways, Grant Thornton and GSK, and we performed nine years of New Year's Eve shows in Dubai.
Weddings and Jewish weddings
We can plan live music for the ceremony, first dance and evening party. We specialise in Jewish weddings and can include chuppah music and Israeli dancing alongside the songs you want for the rest of the night. Let us know which moments matter most to you as a couple so we can build them into the running order.
What our clients say
Andrew T at Grant Thornton said, “We would have no hesitation in recommending you for any future events!” Wedding clients David and Amanda told us, “Your energy was electric and we have lost count of the number of people who said how much they enjoyed the music.”
