Having a wedding in London? Looking for potential bands to entertain your guests? If so you are very very lucky! Here in London we have some of the best musicians on the planet. They are working in wedding bands just as they might be working in Concert Orchestras, doing sessions, playing on television and touring with top acts. As a live music specialist I have worked with some of the best wedding entertainment London has to offer.
Recently for a wedding I employed individual musicians who had worked for Van Morrison, Tom Jones and Jamie Cullum. The venue in the West End of London shook to some of the best music it will ever hear played by some of Londons finest players. The wedding guests had a fabulous time. They may have had a reasonable time if the band had not been to the high standard. There is no way of measuring the difference between great bands and mediocre amateurs. On the night there is only one band, no comparisons. You get what you pay for.
London is the place to live if you are a top professional musician. Yes, there are a few fabulous players who choose to live out of London but for every top professional drummer in Yeovil there are 30 such players in every town in the London Region. On my road alone are musicians that have played with international singing stars and have appeared on hit records. By the way, the top drummer in Cornwall? He works for me and ends up travelling hundreds of extra miles a week in order to maintain his rural lifestyle.
Whereas people in the outer regions have to pay a premium in travel costs to import bands from London (if quality is important to them) People having their wedding party in London can probably make a saving. This is helpful. Knowing that wedding bands in London are the best in the country, that you have plenty to choose from, that you can arrange a meeting with the players, you know that they turn up on time (no traffic jams) All these factors give benefit. Many of the top players who work with big recording and concert artists spend time waiting for the artist to tour or record. In the meantime thy still have to eat, pay the rent and pay food bills. This is why you can find such quality in abundance in London playing music for weddings. This is why the bands entertaining you at a wedding might be full of great musicians you saw at a high profile gig only the week before!
