These guys are the real deal – they spent much of 2011 on tour as backing band with Alex Winston (Island Records), which saw them perform at most of the major European and UK Festivals, as well as several radio and TV appearances. Not only do these guys sound the part, they also look the part. And on top of that, they’re a great bunch of lads who are easy to work with and always put on a fantastic show. The epitome of what being a professional band is all about!

Alive are based in Guildford and can be booked as a New Years Eve Band for events in Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Kent, London, Berkshire, Herts, Essex or surrounding areas.

The band is self-contained with PA, lighting & disco between sets. And the guys are happy to perform Auld Land Syne live at midnight!

Jukebox Money are based in Hampshire and available for events in Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Dorset and surrounding areas.

On New Years Eve the band will also provide disco and perform Auld Lang Syne at midnight. With prices from £1250, these guys are a great value band for your New Years Eve party or wedding!

We have already booked several New Years Eve band gigs – I’m particularly looking forward to Live Karaoke Band at the New Years Eve Party for Carmarten Athletic Club! The Welsh carry a reputation of being pretty able singers, so we look forward to a quality set of karaoke there!

Children In Need – Kings Theatre Southsea

We were very proud to perform at the regional Children In Need fundraiser at The Kings Theatre in Southsea on Tuesday, helping to raise in excess of £2000. The Playlist party band were the ‘house band’ for the night and opened the show to the sold out audience with their show stopping version of ‘Proud Mary’! The band also opened the 2nd set and closed the night with guest singers Same Difference, singing Kool & The Gang’s ‘Celebration’. Footage of the event can be seen on Portsmouth Live TV.

November has been the month for charity as The Magic Tones performed at Zoe Wathen’s hugely successful fundraiser at The Haven Hotel in Sandbanks, Poole on Saturday 12th November. Zoe had a quite remarkable year – walking over 600 miles in 48 days to raise money for charity. To celebrate her incredible achievement & to raise even more money for the great causes she was supporting, she had a ball at the lovely Haven Hotel. It was a great night and The Magic Tones packed the dancefloor, as always!

We are fast approaching December which is the busiest month of bookings in the history of Tailored Entertainment :) I think it speaks volumes of the quality of our acts that, at a time where many entertainers, bands and entertainment companies are struggling, we are growing fast. There is no secret to our success… we just work hard, try to be helpful and make sure the entertainment we provide is top quality! And we are very proud that hundreds of bookings in to this venture, we still maintain a 100% positive feedback record :)

Better get back to organising December… a lot to do – we have gigs as far West as Plymouth, as North as York and as East as Kent. Loads of forces ball, it’s great fun & a great honour performing for our service men & women! They earn the right to party and certainly know how to make the most of it! And loads of corporate events too, I’m particularly looking forward to OJ’s Soul Band gigs at De Vere Grand Harbour in Southampton and Lloyd’s One in London, such a great band!

Ultimate Christmas Party Bands

We are looking forward to a very busy Christmas period once again! With gigs as local as De Vere New Place in Southampton with The Magic Tones, and as far away as Royal York Hotel in York! With The Live Karaoke Band.

The Live Karaoke Band really are an absolute favourite for corporate Christmas parties. If you want to enjoy a fully interactive evening with your team and a party with an electric atmosphere, to really give you a night to remember, then The Live Karaoke Band are the band for you! The band comes self-contained with PA and stage lighting, as well as disco between sets. We also have a professional singer on hand to guide guest singers through songs, and allows us the option of mixing the evening up between karaoke and standard band. The Live Karaoke Band the UK’s number one Rockaoke experience, based in Hampshire and available in Hampshire, Dorset, Surrey, Sussex, London, Berkshire, Oxford and further afield in the UK.

We have also launched the incredible soul & motown band OJ’s Soul Band. With some prestigious events already lined up for December, including corporate events at Lloyd’s London and De Vere Grand Harbour Southampton. This band is really set to take off in 2012, with a stunning line-up of top professional musicians, awesome arrangements and phenomenal energy – this soul & motown band really is in a league of it’s own!

Busy Summer!!!

What an amazing Summer we have had! All of the bands have been non-stop and there has been some notable highlights along the way. Just last week we had the School Reunion Band at at Help For Heroes fundraiser that raised over £8000! The booker was so impressed with the band he wants the guys back for another fundraiser in December!

We also had the Live Karaoke Band and School Reunion Band at 80s Rewind Festivals in Henley On Thames and Perth in Scotland. They were awesome fun – the bands played to several thousand people every night! The highlight for me was seeing Billy Ocean live on stage – what a legend that guy is!

Keeping with the festival theme, we had OJ’s Soul & Motown Band at Gosport Festival with 90s band Toploader – if there is a better function band going than OJ’s Soul Band in the UK I am yet to hear it! Simply stunning band, check them out http://www.motownband.com.

We have had several bands at various forces balls in Hampshire, Surrey, Wiltshire and London, forces favourites The Magic Tones were at Hyde Park Barracks this month for the Household Cavalry Summer Ball, exceptionally well received as always and re-booked for the Christmas Party!

We also ventured back in to the world of holiday parks, which is something we haven’t done for a while… The Live Karaoke Band appeared in Bognor Regis and Hastings, such good fun! And the crowd always love the band! I’m looking forward to working in more holiday parks in 2012.

On top of all the many fantastic events we have had bands at, we continue to supply bands for weddings and parties in Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Dorset, London and beyond. From a TV Exec’s party in London, a 60th Birthday Party at a mansion in Essex and an absolutely blown away crowd for a wedding with OJ’s Soul Band in Northampton to a 3-piece karaoke band performance at a pub in London – they have all been great fun! And we’ve kept up our 100% positive feedback record… something we intend to do in the future too!

The year end seems like its only getting busier! December is already getting very full – as always The Live Karaoke Band dominating the bookings with regular and new corporate clients! We also have several forces balls booked up and expect many more. I’m also personally looking forward to New Years Eve at Carmarthen Rugby Club with The Live Karaoke Band – should be a great party!

And what’s more exciting is we have taken on some new acts, including the unbelievably popular wedding band A-List, the fantastic Live Lounge Band, 50s/60s authentic rock n roll band The Telstarz and solo singer Lianne Gaterell.

Virgin Atlantic – Best Rockaoke Gig Ever?

Wow! Live Karaoke Band absolutely rocked Leeds Castle last night with the help of Virgin Atlantic staff! I have never seen such a wealth of talent in one room!

We had the most incredible version of Smells Like Teen Spirit, I think Kurt would have been proud. A stunningly soulful version of I WIll Survive and a rocking version of I Saw Her Standing There by a guy from Japan – the home of karaoke! :)

Smells Like Teen Spirit won performance of the night and after the prize giving an encore version was requested, which resulted in a corporate mosh-pit & crowd surfing. A truly memorable sight!

If you would like to add the wow factor to your corporate event please get in touch to book the best Rockaoke band in the land, The Live Karaoke Band!

Another Happy Customer :)

The Live Karaoke Band went down a storm at Caius College in Cambridge on Sunday… but you don’t have to take our word for it – I received this feedback this morning :)

“Dear Nick and the band,

Just wanted to say a massive thank you again for yesterday – such a huge success!  Your band are awesome, and everyone truly enjoyed the opportunity to front them.  I was very pleased at how many of the guests participated, it was the perfect entertainment for our college garden party.  I am especially grateful that we could use your PA for the whole event – made the organisation much easier.  

It was a pleasure dealing with you and your band, and hopefully see you at another event soon (our porters were very impressed and will be getting in touch for their party!)

Cheers,

Anthony and the Caius MCR Committee”
