Live Music - The Only Way To Guarantee A Great Party!

By Carole McGill


If it is a party that you are throwing, you must have been going through a lot of planning. There are venues to be booked, caterers to be contacted and menus to be fixed. There are even more to do if you want the party to be an extravagant one. You can have the best of the venues, add dcor and spend on exotic food like caviar and vintage wine. But no party is complete without music and when you are in to extravagance, needless to say, do not go for recorded music or even DJs. Make arrangements for live music to be performed by party bands.

A band playing live music can become the greatest attraction of the party. A good band can actually captivate the guests present and can induce into them the spirit of the party especially when they start playing the requests made by the guests. In this manner the guests are attracted to the party and enjoy the most. If you want the guests to have the fun call up bands to perform live music.

Bands performing live music belong to different genres and styles. While there are some hard core bands which play music by genre in the form of rock or pop, there are other bands such as wedding bands and party bands that play music specifically suited to match the parties. There are decade bands which specialize in performing music of any particular decade like the Sixties or the Seventies. There are tribute bands which performs the songs of a rock icon or a legendary band mimicking the get up and styles of the original.

You can actually have live music in any party you wish to. From birthdays to anniversaries, reunions to farewell parties, live music can turn any party in to a special one. Even if you are having a wedding party, a band playing live music can do wonders to its mood and spirit.

Get a band to perform live music if it is a themed party you are organizing. A proper band will play the perfect blend of music that goes with the theme and have it highlighted. Get a Reggae band if you are having a Beach Party or a Latino band of you are having a Mexican night party complete with Chilies and Tortillas.

When you are hiring a band to play live music, be sure that they fit your party. When you are looking for the bands and have contacted some, ask them to provide the videos of their past performances. Select the band by seeing the videos. You will know how the band performs and whether it suits your party or not. The wrong band or an amateur outfit can be a disaster for your party.

When you have selected the band to perform live music, sit with them and brief them what you exactly want. Give them a play list on which they can draft the programme. Ask them what would be their logistical needs at the venue and arrange for providing it.

Lastly, do check with the venue regarding the license to host live music or there will be last moment hiccoughs. Moreover, check the sound limits or performing time limits of the venue if any. With all arranged well beforehand, you may sit back and enjoy the party of your life time.
