FAQs

• Please, describe your act or business in on sentence:

  PentaTonic are a professional, versatile, female fronted, 5 piece function band from the East of England, guaranteed to fill the dance floor at your wedding, party or corporate event

• What are the highlights of your career?

  We have been delighted to perform at many weddings and parties since forming early in 2017 to happy clients and guests. My personal highlight so far from PentaTonic was a festival style party in the woods where we were instructed to 'rock the joint'...and we did!!!

• What is your competitive advantage (special features)?

  We have an extensive repertoire, covering funk, pop, rock, country and ballads from the last six decades to provide something for everyone and a full dance floor throughout our show. We provide full stage lighting for every performance and can learn special songs given enough notice. We also provide suitable interval music before, during and after our sets to keep the party going and can take DJ requests by email up to 5 days before the event (to create a specific playlist for your event).

• What kind of events do you usually serve?

  PentaTonic are available for weddings, parties and corporate events of any size

• Who are your previous clients?

  Some of our previous clients and testimonials from them are listed below "Best night of our lives! I cannot thank you all enough for the amazing entertainment on our wedding night. Everyone commented on how amazing the band was. A brilliant mix which got everyone up dancing. You all were great at involving myself and my husband and our guests allowing my husband to get up to try and sing. I would recommend you to anyone looking for a band. Great bunch of friendly people I really hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did. Absolutely amazing! Thank you so so much x" Sarah Sharpe Wedding 9th Sept 17 "I just wanted to say thank you for making James and Sarah's wedding reception into a night to remember. You certainly got the party started. The mix of songs suited all ages. Thanks again. Caroline and Tony Sharpe" Sharpe Wedding 9th Sept 17 "Hired for the Three Counties Running Club BBQ. Fantastic music all night!! Got people up and dancing. Happy to have a laugh and interacted with the members of our club. Brilliant atmosphere. THANK YOU!" Karen from The Three Counties Running Club 4th August 17 "Thank you so much for our first song, PentaTonic were amazing all night and made our first song perfect and memorable, I cannot thank you all enough for getting everyone involved and dancing. Everyone loved you, highly recommend to anyone booking their wedding, very professional and helpful all way up to our wedding, always available to answer silly questions and very easy to deal with, just great people" Tori Desborough Wedding 1st July 17 "My wife and myself decided that a nice little birthday bash in the woods in midsummer would be good fun. After being let down by a few other bands we were recommended PentaTonic. From the first call and booking right through to the end of their fine performance we could not fault them. The show on the night was outstanding, I would recommend anyone looking for a tight band with a great singer to use them. It was a pleasure for us" Kevin & Kelly Smith 24th June 2017.

• How can event planners pay for your services?

  We accept cash on the night, cheque or direct bank transfer

• How long do you play for?

  We perform for a maximum of 3 x 40 mins or 2 x 1 hour sets with suitable interval music provided to remove the need (and cost) for a separate DJ.

• Do you have your own PA and lighting?

  We use a state of the art, powerful 4kw QSC PA system and provide full stage lighting for every event.

• Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

  We have up to date Public Liability insurance (10m) and all our equipment is PAT tested as standard. Please ask for copies of certificates.

• How much space do you require?

  We prefer approx. 5m x 3m s a minimum but will squeeze in as much as possible if space is an issue!

• My favourite tune is not on your list. Will you be able to play it?

  That depends...we are always happy to learn new songs and will always try, however, some songs are not possible for a number of reasons...if this is the case, we can always play the original recording as part of the playlist during our breaks.

• How many breaks do you take? How long are they?

  Again that depends on the running order for the event. As a guide a 5 hour evening made up of DJ music and band live performances may run like this 5pm Band arrives 7pm Band set-up and sound checked, music playing 8.30pm First set by the band 9.10pm DJ music 9.40pm Second set by the band 10.20pm DJ music 10.50pm Third set by the band 11.45pm DJ music 12am finish
