Wedding/Hampton Court House
Leanne and the team were really helpful in the run up to the day, ensuring that we had everything we wanted on the set list and helping to make recommendations, too.
When they arrived at the venue they were friendly and didn't disturb us at all whilst they were setting up. The band were amazing when they played, doing our request songs when we were around and got a chance to boogey between talking to guests. We got so many compliments on the music and all our guests absolutely loved them.

Wedding/Smeetham Hall Barn
Pharaoh and the Beats recently played at our wedding at Smeetham Hall Barn and provided a really fantastic night of live entertainment for us and our guests! From the start, Leanne and the team's services were super professional. After quickly responding to our initial enquiry and questions, we were invited to a rehearsal to check them out and see if the band's style was a fit for our event. Getting to meet Leanne, hearing her amazing vocal talent live, and seeing how well the band gelled together really put us at ease and confirmed they were going to be the right choice for our wedding.
Communication and flexibility from the band leading up to and including the big day was excellent too such as promptly sharing PAT/PLI certificates for the venue, tailoring a varied set-list to our taste/audience, letting us choose a couple of our favourite songs for them to learn and perform, dealing with some speech over-runs compressing set-up time on the night, and even letting the Groom get up on stage with Leanne to sing a few verses of the kiwi classic 'Be Mine Tonight' and Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin'' to the Bride!
Everyone had a great night and we were all super impressed with Leanne's stunning vocals and the band's warm up-beat sound. If you're looking for a professional and reliable covers band with a vocalist that can cover a wide range of material and really get the party going, hire these guys!

Wedding
Pharaoh & The Beats absolutely made our wedding day! They were professional from the very beginning when I booked them via Encore and they maintained contact right up until the day itself to assist me with any questions I had. Leanne has an incredible voice and all the other musicians were brilliant too. We had so many of our guests asking how we came across the band, commenting on how good they were. We couldn’t be happier at how they got everyone on the dance floor and thank them so much for learning and performing our first dance song! We will definitely be booking them again for any future events!

Wedding
Right from booking with pharaoh & the beats until the Wedding the communication was great couldn’t have asked for more. They fitted with our venue perfectly and we were so happy with their performance on the wedding evening. They engaged with the guests and had everyone dancing. We could not thank them enough for being part of our day.

Wedding Anniversary/Bristol Observatory
We hired this group for our 25th wedding anniversary from start to finish the communication was outstanding we could of not wished for a better group to support our evening they asked beforehand what sort of music we liked by suppling us with a music list we only crossed of one song and this was a Christmas song as it was August lol 😂 They arrived well in time and from start to finish we never stopped dancing We would highly recommend these and will be using them in the future

Birthday Party
Pharaoh and the Beats played for my 21st and they literally made the night! Guests were up and dancing by the second song of the set and we didn't stop dancing all night. They were friendly and professional and sounded incredible! Great song choices as well. I want another party just so I can book them again!
When all your wedding guests scream for an encore at the end of the night, you know you've picked the right band! Pharaoh & the Beats were beyond incredible - they made the party!
Fun, bubbly, quirky, entertaining, energetic, professional.
We are happy to learn a handful of songs you would like played at your event and for free as part of the service. We usually ask for 3-5 songs and we will decide what works as a band. There is no guarantee all the songs will be played on the night, but we strive to do our best.
We are open to any event, but mainly we are performing at weddings and private parties. We have performed at other events such as restaurant openings, vineyards openings, a safari park open day, we like the varierty!
We require a deposit to confirm the date which is paid via bank transfer. You will be sent an invoice for this amount and a contract with all details. The remainder can then be paid via bank transfer on the night or cash after soundcheck.
Generally we perform two one hour sets, but we do also provide a disco service in between sets and depending on the event, up until midnight,
Yes all our own equipment is included in the quote which includes PA and lighting, however if you required a larger lighting rig then this is something we are happy to organise for you.
Yes, we are happy to send certificates for both PLI and PAT on request.
We usually ask for a minimum of 5 x 4m, however we've been known to fit in smaller areas! It also depends on the size act you choose as we have an acoustic duo right up to a 9-piece party band.
We would be happy to learn your favourite tune.
This can be down to the client and how their event runs. Generally we take one break in between our two sets and this could be for 20-30 minutes dependant on what is happening between our sets.
Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests are up and dancing and having an amazing time. We are, however, happy for you to voice any major 'No no's' to ensure we find what works for your event.
We usually allow around 1-1.5 hours before performance time to set up and sound check. If you need us to be set up slightly earlier so we are not in the way of guests, then we are happy to discuss this with you and work with you as best we can.
No problem, please get in contact as soon as you know of any time changes. We understand that things can change for events so we try to be as flexible as we can.
Our standard line up is Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals, Guitar, Keys, Bass and Drums. We can offer a 9 piece option (to include brass), 4 piece (which excludes backing vocals & keys), as well as an acoustic duo called 'Pharaoh' (one singer and acoustic guitar).
We always use the same lead singer and strive to make sure the rest of the line-up that you see, is what you get on the night. We do have pre-auditioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.
