Sonic Blue

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an incredible live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come!

Yes! As long as we have at least three weeks notice and it’s a song that fits in with our line up of instruments and vocals we’d be more than happy to!

90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around. It’s normally a good idea to have us arrive when dinner and any speeches are finished. Once we’re set up we’ll need to do a quick soundcheck (at full volume) to make sure we sound the best we can in your venue.

Our standard prices are for 2 hours of live music any time between 8pm and midnight. In our experience, playing a bit later makes for a fuller dance floor.

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.

Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute acoustic set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 40 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Bournemouth. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Yes.

Ideally we require a minimum space of 2.5m (depth) x 5m (width) on a flat, even surface.

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
