Choosing a Christmas party band

Choosing the Roadhouse Five

Can you believe it? We are talking about Xmas already! Well the high street shops have Easter Eggs in the windows so it must be the Christmas party lead up!

Why think about it now I hear you ask? Well if you want the right band you have a window of five maybe six weekends over the time coming up to and around the Xmas festivities. The band will have engagements in their book already so the sooner your preferred band is booked the better. If you were choosing next years holiday in August, chances are you will have it booked now to avoid disappointment, why not do the same this Christmas with your band for your party?

What is the right band for you? My answer has to be the Roadhouse Five Party Band. Why? Because quite simply they are one of the best "Good Time" bands on the party circuit today. They love the music they play and they play it so well. This is obvious when you realize that the guys have been "side men" for some of the biggest names in the business including Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Phil Collins, Robbie Williams, Kate Bush and Eddie Reader.

What music do they play? Is the next and most logical question. The Roadhouse Five have chosen each tune for maximum dance popularity. Expect to hear sixties and seventies soul and classic pop. Tunes by such artists as James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Wilson Pickett and Al Green. Tunes associated with the Blues Brothers and Commitments films. Quite simple the best, most popular dance floor party hits that get people up on the dance floor night after night. We have been doing this for some years and we see the reaction to different songs, we have judged which songs will get people up and keep them up. Whether you have a private Xmas party, a Christmas works party or want the band for New Years Eve, the Roadhouse Five promises maximum enjoyment all night long.

Where do the band perform? The band specifically perform for private parties and events anywhere in the world. They get the majority of their work from hundreds of recommendations, repeat business from satisfied clients and from majority representation from Jazz not Jazz. You could have the Roadhouse Five for your Christmas party out in the Arab Emirates or in an exclusive hotel in any big city in Europe. Wherever and whenever Xmas is celebrated the Roadhouse Five will go.

A typical party night.

We were booked for a "Vegas Theme Night" last December for a young and very successful P.R. company to celebrate a record year of business. We offered them three sets of music broken down as follows: One set of Rat Pack Swing, playing the music of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin followed by two sets of our usual party recipe. The average age of the crowd must have been 24 but they hit the floor for the first tune and stayed there for the rest of the night! We had cd`s of party music playing for when we took breaks to keep the atmosphere going and the joint never stopped jumping!

This party success is so familiar to the band. The reason for it is in a combination of the right tunes, played in the right order, played by world class musicians and performed with a great, slick show. The Roadhouse Five isn`t a pick up band of guys who would prefer to be playing some other kind of music, nor are they music or drama students just out of college. They are seasoned, experienced London professionals who are playing at the top of their game with the best in the business. They love the music they play, they love and respect each others skills and they pride themselves on giving a great show for their audiences. They are great company, totally co-operative, flexible and look great.
