Hi and thanks for checking out FIFTY4 We are a five piece female fronted Band that love to perform live. We play a fantastic and uplifting mixture of funk, soul, disco and dancefloor hits spanning several decades. From 60's soul, 70's disco right up to modern day hits, you'll hear them all performed live (no backing tracks) all in the aim of getting toes tapping and people up dancing. Our quoted package consists of x2 one hour 15 minute sets of live music with a 15 - 30 minute interval. Unlike some other artists, we can also provide pre-recorded music during the interval, prior to and after our performances if required, at no additional cost* We have all sound and lighting equipment required for our performance. All we will require from you is a safe space for the Band to set up and perform from and a power supply. *Pre-recorded music is set, this would be considered background music as opposed to a disco and would be limited in its duration.

Here are some recent reviews of the band's performance:- Here are some reviews of the band in action:- Black Velvet Folky Pop Duo – Wedding – April 6th, 2019 “A great bunch of lads who made our wedding reception swing. Their set was exactly what we wanted and set exactly the right atmosphere. They even let me take the mic for 2 songs. Which they probably regretted within seconds! A great choice for any kind of party.” Ben Hawkes Irish Night to celebrate St Patrick’s Day – Lawrence Weston Social Club – March 16th 2019 Well what can I say? Johnny and Jase are a great duo! They performed a super mix of Irish songs and tunes and had people up dancing all night. Would highly recommend. Karl Baxter Black Velvet Band Irish Duo – St Patrick’s Day at Westbury Conservative Club – March 17th 2019 What a great way to celebrate St Patrick’s day at our Cons club! The performance went amazingly well! The dance floor was full on a SUNDAY AFTERNOON?? I put that down to the guys who played songs and tunes with such an exciting beat that you just couldn’t stay still. The whole afternoon was huge fun. I highly recommend the band. Stephen Jones Hannah and Deryk’s Ceilidh – February 2019 We absolutely loved having Black Velvet Band play our wedding ceilidh at Clearwell Castle. My husband is from Scotland so we wanted a traditional Scottish ceilidh feel with some of the classics, and we were not disappointed! We had a good feeling about Black Velvet band from the moment we booked them – and sure enough, Mike and the guys were absolutely fantastic and made our evening party a huge success. The band were great and the instructions on the ceilidh dances were so helpful; even those of our party who may not have normally danced were up there loving life on the dancefloor. The fun and friendly atmosphere they created was just fab and so different from your ‘usual’ evening do. All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ceilidh and some said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We would 100% book the band again and recommend them to friends. Thank you for contributing to the best day of both our lives. Hannah and Deryk Hunter Black Velvet Band Hoedown Duo – Wild West Garden Party – July 12th, 2018 “Mike and Jon pitched the performance perfectly for the Fleur de Lis Retirement Home’s garden party in Romsey. The American Country songs created just the right atmosphere to establish the Wild West theme. Everyone loved it – they joined in all the songs! Several residents have sent me messages to say how much they enjoyed the event. We were delighted with the performance and thoroughly recommend the band.” Rachael O'Keefe (Manager) Alice's Wild West Themed 60th Birthday Party – April 6th, 2018 "It was a superb C & W style party with fantastic musicians. Everyone - from kids to grannies - joined in the dancing and the whole event was great fun. If we have another party, we will definitely book Black Velvet Hoedown Band again. I have no hesitation in recommending them. It was an excellent bash." Darren Vine (Alice's husband) Paul’s 60th Birthday Hoedown Barn Dance – January 6th, 2018 " A big thanks to Mike and the rest of the band for a brilliant evening. Everyone has said how much they thoroughly enjoyed it. A special thank you to Alan, the dance caller. He did a great job – quite a comedian! Finally a big thanks to the band for welcoming our fiddle-playing friend Richard into their ranks for the evening. He said he had a fantastic time. What a great party band the guys make! I’m very happy to recommend them to anyone having a bash." Paul Campbell

We’re Solid Steel and we’re a modern professional UK-based steel band. The band was born in 1986- and has established itself as the leader in its field. But please judge us with your ears and eyes on our videos and sound files! Our quote here is for us to perform as a fully acoustic instrumental 'all steel pan/drum duo' for the first hour of any booking- playing modern pop or traditional Caribbean music and bringing sunshine vibes and happiness to your event. Our band is authentic and the players' cultural heritage is from Trinidad, home of the steel band, so that’s the spirit we bring to all of our performances. Other add-ons including additional players, playing times, vocals (which require a small PA) and a gazebo (for weather-proof outdoor performances) are also available with this package. :)

Rock and Roll Jukebox are a traditional rock and roll band playing classics from the late 1950s and early 60s. We dress in teddy boy drapes and work hard to put on a slick show. Line up includes Lead Guitar/vocals, Keyboards/vocals/trumpet, Tenor sax/vocals, Bass Guitar/backing vocals, Drums/backing vocals. Price includes two 45/50 minute sets and we include full sound and lighting systems with recorded music between sets if required. This is based on a 5pm start finish and midnight finish. We have full Public Liability Insurance.

Poperasops would be delighted if you booked us for your event and if you do, we promise to bring stunning vocal performances, charismatic stage presence, lush harmonies, great outfits and a few hours of epic music!! :) As two experienced solo ensemble sopranos we'd suggest 2 x 30 minute sets of tailored pop music performed in a popera style including classics like Park Life, Don't Look Back in Anger, Let's Get Ready to Rumble, Thrift Shop, Gangsters Paradise, When Will I be Famous, Gangnam Style, Barbie Girl. We tailor set list content according to each event so if the above isn't quite right or you have specific songs that you would like included, we can certainly accommodate that, plus we’re easy to work with and can bring our own PAT tested PA equipment if needed. Looking forward to hearing from you.
