The Birthday Party Music Guide

 

Dance the night away with a live band

Live music + dancing = involvement.

A group of birthday celebration guests is usually a mix of family, work colleagues, and other friends perhaps going back to university, school and childhood. Your guests may not all know each other well. There's no two ways about it, in these circumstances, live music is an excellent ice-breaker!

A tremendous party involves a great shared release of energy and you will want everyone on the dance-floor, laughing and dancing. A quality live band is the key to success in this situation.

Live music ... centre stage.

The guys on the stage are going to lead your party. No matter what the style of music, an infectious sense of fun is an essential ingredient in getting a party going. If the band is having fun onstage, then so will you on the dance-floor.

You need a band that wants to party as much as you do!

As in any other human situation, a happy band of musicians is a well-looked-after one. Carefully think through the logistics of your event beforehand. As a rule of thumb, the larger the band, the longer the set-up time. A six-piece pop-band with a PA and lighting rig can take up to two hours or more to set-up. Make sure the band have enough time to get their equipment in position. If it is necessary for the band to set-up early and then wait while a sit-down meal takes place, make sure that you provide a comfortable place for them to go ... and that they, too, have some refreshments (a plate of sandwiches and some drinks will usually suffice).

Including perhaps an hour or two's travelling to and from the gig, then the set-up and break-down, the party performance is the central part of a long day for the band. To get the very best from them at this important time for you, it's in your interest to make sure they are comfortable and well cared for.

Let your hair down and boogie.

So which way do you want to party the night away? There are lots of options. Hot rhythm is the key to getting everyone out of their seats. Evoke Hollywood glitz and glamour with Swing Jazz, Sinatra-style. A steel band gets the party going with a Caribbean holiday feel. Samba the night away with Brazilian-style Latin Jazz. Jump and jive with R'n'B and Boogie-Woogie, a la Jools Holland. Get into a really funky groove with a Soul/Disco/Funk band. Everyone enjoys the Pop Classics of the last five decades. Or you could settle for a traditional Irish-style family Ceilidh. The list is endless ...

Look and listen to what's available. Take your time deciding which option is for you.
