Corporate Event Band
for Southland

If you organise functions for a living, the band is usually the part you can't fully control. We've been the answer to that problem in Southland for a long time — including a standing annual dine and dance at the Kelvin Hotel and Christmas functions at Ascot Park.

What that means in practice: we confirm in writing, we arrive early enough to be set up and quiet before your guests sit down, we play at a volume the room can hold a conversation over until it's time to dance, and we stop when the run sheet says stop.

What's included

• PA, sound system and stage lighting — you don't need to arrange separate audio hire for the music.
• Four sets — around four hours, with a playlist covering the breaks so the room never goes quiet.
• Background or dance volume — switched to suit the part of the evening.
• A song list spanning several decades — which matters when the room is 25 to 65.
• Invoicing to your business — with the cost agreed before the night.

Dine and dance evenings

The format we play most. Background music or silence through the meal, then dance sets afterwards. These sell out year after year at the venues we work with, largely because guests know what they're getting.

Christmas functions

December books out early — often months ahead. If you're planning a staff Christmas do, that's the one to lock in first, because the good dates go while everyone else is still deciding on a venue.

Awards nights and formal dinners

We can stay out of the way during presentations and speeches, then lift the room afterwards. If you need us to work around a stage, a lectern or an AV setup, tell us the layout and we'll fit around it.

Conferences and community events

We've played everything from conference wind-downs to public street-upgrade launches for a crowd of all ages. Different rooms need different things, and we'd rather ask beforehand than guess on the night.
